Describe the results/achievements of the actions taken: 
This resolution has so far not been implemented directly, because the discussion on substitutes to Plastic are part if the negotiation outcome of the INC process as well as under the WTO Dialogue on Plastic Pollution. In any case further scientific research and data/monitoring/indicator-information will be needed to understand the volume of current use of plastics, understand land use impacts of shift to paper, and take that information to governmental platforms and facilitate stakeholder consultations between land managers, pulp and paper companies, manufacturers and national & regional governments. It also includes elements of a consumer campaign to drive that shift, for which considerable research and campaign resources are required.

As above (waiting for negotiation outcome)
