Description
Countries in the Asia-Pacific region are still struggling to reduce their plastic debris in the ocean. The main sources of marine plastic debris are land-based, from urban and storm runoff, sewer overflows, beach visitors, inadequate waste disposal management, industrial activities, construction and illegal dumping. Ocean-based plastic originates mainly from the fishing industry, nautical activities, and aquaculture. There is an urgent need for countries in the Asia-Pacific region to learn best practices and challenges from each other in combating marine plastic debris in the area.
The purpose of this online workshop is to explore how, why, when, and what forms of measures should be adopted to counter marine plastic debris in the Asia-Pacific region.
———————-
The Online Workshop on Marine Plastic Debris is part of a continuing event series on Marine Plastic Debris. Papers presented in the Online Workshop will be considered for publication in the KLRI Journal of Law and Legislation (KJLL), the journal of the Korea Legislation Research Institute. The authors of the selected papers will be invited for a virtual meeting in January 2021.
The final version of the papers then will go through KJLL’s rigorous peer review process. Up to 4 of the selected articles will be published in KJLL by May 2021. All of the articles will be published in a book on Marine Plastic Debris Rule of Law in Asia, supported by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung.
