Ghana to host International Conference Marine Litter & Plastic Pollution
Ghana, in collaboration with Germany, Ecuador will host a dedicated International Ministerial Conference on marine litter and plastic pollution in September this year.
Plastic pollution is a global problem that requires global action – the status quo is not an option. Several UNEA Resolutions (3/7 and 4/6), as well as the UNEA Report on Global Environmental and Climate Risks, clearly show the extent to which marine and ocean plastic pollution has now reached. In the next 30 years, we are said to produce four times more plastic waste than we did since the invention of plastic compounds. Today already 8 million tons of mismanaged plastic are entering the ocean every year, but our efforts so far have not kept pace with the upscaling of the pressure.

Revised National Plastics Management Policy
The overarching aim of this National Plastics Management Policy is to solve the challenges associated with comprehensive plastics management, thereby improving the state of the environment and public health. This will reduce pressure on Ghana’s natural resources and dependence on imported finished commodities, creating jobs and greatly contributing to socio-economic development especially at the base of the economic pyramid and amongst vulnerable community groups. Eventually, it is expected that this will contribute to the achievement of the AU Agenda 2063 and several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), both of which the Republic of Ghana is a signatory.
