Closing the Loop on Plastic Pollution in Da Nang City, Vietnam - Baseline Report
AI summary Read the abstract
This policy baseline report assessed the status of plastic pollution in Da Nang City, Vietnam, providing scientific evidence to guide development of a city-level marine plastic litter action plan through 2025 with a 2030 vision. The report was jointly prepared by UN-ESCAP and partner institutions to support practical, locally appropriate interventions in this coastal ASEAN city.
This Policy Report forms part of the output from the project: "‘Closing the Loop: Innovation and Scaling Up to Solve the Problem of Plastic Pollution in Marine Areas in ASEAN Cities",supported bythe Government of Japan. The report provides scientific-based evidenceon the status of plastic pollution in Da Nang, in order to guide the development of a city-level action plan to manage marine plastic litterin Da Nang City by 2025, with a vision towards 2030.The report was jointly prepared by the United Nations Economic and Social Commissions for Asia Pacific (UN-ESCAP), Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), University of Leeds, International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), University of Da Nang, and International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), in collaboration with the Department of Natural Resource and Environment (DONRE), Da Nang City.
