Indicate and briefly describe any actions that have been carried out to implement this Resolution: 
ActionDescriptionStatus
Rassembler des parties prenantes/R�seautageThe plastic portfolio is working across 5 regions to implement a harmonized set of assessments (plastic pollution, policy, economic) and action plans to reduce plastic leakage into the environment. First steps have included stakeholder engagement and convening to define nationally-appropriate implementation of global project strategy.On-going
Activit�s techniques/scientifiquesDevelopment of knowledge base about plastic pollution including publication of peer reviewed reports. On-going
Veuillez indiquer et décrire brièvement les activités planifiées par la suite pour la mise en œuvre de cette Résolution: 
Activité FutureDescription
Activit�s techniques/scientifiquesThe 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
