Marine debris as a global environmental problem: introducing a solutions-based framework focused on plastic

This is a Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) information document aimed at contextualizing the latest scientific knowledge about the causes of marine debris, and investigating and suggesting opportunities for catalytic activities to address this challenge within the GEF program. The GEF is well-placed to address marine debris in an integrative manner, as there is a strong intersection between three of its Focal Areas: Chemicals, Biodiversity, and International Waters.
