Clean Seas Campaign

What is CleanSeas Campaign?

• UN Environment launched #CleanSeas Campaign in February, 2017, with the aim of engaging governments, the general public, civil society and the private sector in the fight against marine plastic litter.

• By connecting individuals, civil society groups, industry and governments, UN Environment aims to transform habits, practices, standards and policies around the globe to dramatically reduce marine litter and the harm it causes.

• The campaign contributes to the goals of the Global Partnership on Marine Litter, a voluntary open-ended partnership hosted by UN Environment.

• Over the next five years, the campaign will address the root-cause of marine litter by targeting the production and consumption of non-recoverable and single-use plastic.

• The campaign focuses on awareness, engagement and activeness of citizens in addressing the problem of marine litter in their own lives and beyond. 

• The Campaign also giving a platform to hundreds of local organizations who are already doing important work on marine litter to highlight their efforts.
