The UN Environment Programme through its Africa Office in collaboration with the Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association (WIOMSA) are organizing a regional consultative meeting to discuss draft Guidelines for development of legislation and related policies on marine litter in Africa in a platform, INTERACTIO on 11 and 12 November 2021. The meeting will be held at 10:00 \u2013 11:30 AM EAT (GMT+3).<\/p>\n
Simultaneous translation will be available in English, French and Portuguese.<\/p>\n
Documents for the meeting have been posted in the Project page<\/a> under the \u2018Documents for the Meeting<\/a>\u2019. Comments on the draft guidelines for legislation on marine litter in Africa are welcome. It has been stated that countries are starting to adopt a life cycle approach, but this has not been reflected in the review of legal instruments. The gap analysis report<\/a> showed a few countries had legal frameworks which governed across the life cycle of waste. Recommendations on harmonising policy instruments to account for the entire life cycle of waste would be valuable.<\/p>\n All participants to the meeting are required to register<\/a> to receive the link to the meeting.<\/p>\n Guidelines on how to use the platform, INTERACTIO are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
