This document provides an overview of IUCN’s Resolutions and policy positions relating to pollution, organized in four main areas:
Knowledge gathered over the past four years in the IUCN Close the Plastic Tap programme is the basis of this publication.
This report seeks to share understanding of the roots of plastic polymer pathways to the Baltic Sea, then moves to defining the nature and extent of the problem, then passes to the impacts on sea ice habitat and marine species of the region.

Plastic pollution originates from various sources. While many industries are taking steps to reduce their dependence on plastic, there is currently no reliable methodology to forecast specifically the extent of the marine plastic leakage from an industry or a country and map potential leakage hotspots throughout the value chain. This report offers, for the first time, a comprehensive framework to measure the inventory of marine plastic leakage,&nbs
