The "Reduce marine plastics and plastic pollution in Latin American and the Caribbean cities through a circular economy approach" (GEF LAC Cities) project will facilitate circular actions at the city level to accelerate the transition to a circular economy, in line with government and business commitments on addressing marine plastics and plastic pollution. With funding from the Global Environment Fund and the United Nations Environment Programme as Implementing Agency, the UNEP Cartagena Convention Secretariat will be executing the four year project in 6 cities across Jamaica, Colombia and Panama. Marine litter within the three countries is adversely affecting the coastal waters, impacting key sectors from tourism to fisheries and millions of people.
