Acción FuturaDescripción
Actividades t�cnicas/cient�ficasThe plastic portfolio conducted a plastic pollution footprint scan in 2018 to identify all available methodologies. The most appropriate methodology is being rolled out across 13 use cases in 2019 which will represent a large globally-relevant set of national-level evidence about plastic pollution distribution, abundance, types, sources, pathways and sinks. This evidence base will help determine nationally-appropriate pollution reduction targets
