A comparative study of national action plans
This report is commissioned by the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment.
The purpose of the report is to compile and compare nine selected national plastic plans to inform the development of a new global agreement on plastic pollution. Based on a consideration of commonalities, strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas of improvement, the report provides a set of recommendations for elements and mechanisms to be included in a global agreement on plastic pollution, that may serve as a basis for continued discussions on the design of national obligations and policy measures under a new global agreement.
