📊 Accurate and accessible data is essential in the fight against plastic pollution—but for many countries in Asia and the Pacific, gaps in data availability and comparability still hinder effective progress.
To tackle these issues, a regional 🌐 webinar held on 18 July 2025 brought together policymakers and technical experts to discuss how data on plastics across the value chain—from production and consumption to leakage and waste management—can better inform action.
🔍 Highlights from the session:
-
📈 National examples of using plastic data for evidence-based policy.
-
🛠️ Tools and initiatives closing data gaps and promoting knowledge sharing.
-
📢 Key questions around monitoring, reporting, and tracking progress.
💡 The message was clear: improving data systems is more than technical—it's strategic. Better data empowers smarter policies and stronger regional collaboration in the fight against marine plastic pollution.
