High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy

This paper examines the leakage of plastics and other pollutants into the ocean and the resulting impacts on marine ecosystems, human health, and the economy. The paper comments on the kind of regenerative global industry that needs to be built as well as integrated solutions to reduce all pollutants to the ocean.

This paper proposes seven holistic approaches for the reduction of pollutants in the ocean:

  • Improve wastewater management
  • Improve stormwater management
  • Adopt green chemistry practices and new materials
  • Implement coastal zone improvements
  • Practice radical resource efficiency
  • Recover and recycle materials
  • Build local systems for safe food and water
