- The nexus between climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and plastics
Date: Thursday, 3 November 2022
Time: 14:00-15:30 (East Africa Time)

These topics are the focus of two draft issue briefs that have been developed to share knowledge and provide opportunities for discussion for stakeholders working on marine litter and plastic pollution. The issue briefs will be shared ahead of the workshop so participants can provide feedback, including recommendations for future work and how science can help shape policy. You can access the draft issue briefs in the GPML Digital Platform by following the instructions in this link.
