In fact, the
Nairobi-based United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on February 23
launched an unprecedented global campaign to eliminate major sources of
marine litter: micro-plastics in cosmetics and the excessive, wasteful
usage of single-use plastic by the year 2022.
Launched at the
Economist World Ocean Summit in Bali, the #CleanSeas campaign urges
governments to pass plastic reduction policies; targeting industry to
minimize plastic packaging and redesign products; and calling on
consumers to change their throwaway habits - before irreversible damage
is done to the seas.
Erik Solheim,
UNEP's Executive Director, said, "It is past time that we tackle the
plastic problem that blights our oceans. Plastic pollution is surfing
onto Indonesian beaches, settling onto the ocean floor at the North
Pole, and rising through the food chain onto our dinner tables. We've
stood by too long as the problem has gotten worse. It must stop."
Throughout the
year, the #CleanSeas campaign will be announcing ambitious measures by
countries and businesses to eliminate micro-plastics from personal care
products, ban or tax single-use bags, and dramatically reduce other
disposable plastic items.
The #CleanSeas
campaign is a global movement targeting governments, industry and
consumers to urgently reduce the production and excessive use of plastic
that is polluting the earth's oceans, damaging marine life and
threatening human health.
"We don't need to
invent or negotiate something new, we just need to have action to
implement what we already agreed upon." - Isabella Lovin, Deputy Prime
Minister of Sweden.
The UN environment
body aims to transform all spheres of change -habits, practices,
standards and policies around the globe to dramatically reduce marine
litter and the harm it causes.
So far, ten
countries have already joined the campaign with far-reaching pledges to
turn the plastic tide: Belgium, Costa Rica, France, Grenada, Indonesia,
Norway, Panama, Saint Lucia, Sierra Leone and Uruguay.
Pledges to Turn the Plastic Tide
Indonesia has
committed to slash its marine litter by a massive 70 per cent by 2025;
Uruguay will tax single-use plastic bags later this year. Costa Rica
will take measures to dramatically reduce single-use plastic through
better waste management and education.
And Vidar Helgesen,
Minister of Climate and the Environment of Norway, said: "Keeping our
seas clean and our marine life safe from plastic is a matter of urgency
for Norway. Marine plastic litter is a rapidly increasing threat to
marine life, seafood safety and negatively affects the lives of people
in coastal areas all around the world. Our oceans cannot wait any
longer."
Eneida de León,
Minister of Housing, Territorial Planning and Environment of Uruguay,
underlined: "Our goal is to discourage the use of plastic bags through
regulations, give an alternative for workers in the waste sector, and
develop education plans regarding the impact of the use of plastic bags
on our environment... "
According to
estimates, at the rate we are dumping items such as plastic bottles,
bags and cups after a single use, by 2050 oceans will carry more plastic
than fish and an estimated 99 per cent of seabirds will have ingested
plastic.
Major announcements
are expected during The Ocean Conference in New York at the UN
Headquarters 5 - 9 June, and the December UN Environment Assembly in
Nairobi, Kenya.
In addition to the 8
million tons of plastic dumped each ears in the waters, oceans are also
victims of overfishing, acidification and increasing global water
temperatures linked to climate change.
The United Nations
on 15 February held a two-day meeting in its headquarters in New York,
to prepare for an Ocean Conference in June this year, which will aim "to
help safeguard the planet's oceans and help them recover from
human-induced problems."
On this, the deputy
prime minister and climate minister of Sweden, Isabella Lövin, said in a
video log on Twitter that the Conference could be a "chance of a
lifetime" to save the oceans under enormous stress.
Most likely
reflecting the general feeling of most scientists, environmentalists and
civil society organisations, Lövin said "We don't need to invent or
negotiate something new, we just need to have action to implement what
we already agreed upon."
Lövin was referring
to the expected 'Call to Action' that will result from the Conference
in connection with stopping illegal fishing, stopping marine pollution
and addressing the special circumstances of small island developing
States.
"The World Going in the Totally Wrong Direction"
In an interview to
IPS UN Bureau, Lövin said the world is going "in the totally wrong
direction," when it comes to achieving the goal of sustainable oceans
and life below water.
"If you look at the
trends right now, you see more and more overfishing, we are seeing more
and more pollution, plastic litter coming into our oceans, and we're
also seeing all the stress that the ocean is under due to climate
change, acidification of the water, but also the warming and sea level
rises and all of this is putting a tremendous, tremendous pressure on
our oceans," Lövin explained.
During the New York
meeting, the UN has called for voluntary commitments to implement Goal
14 and on February 15 launched an online commitment registry, which has
its first three commitments - the Swedish Government, the UN Environment
Programme, and Peaceboat, a non-governmental organisation.
The site will be up
through the end of the Conference, which starts on World Environment
Day, marked annually on 5 June, and includes 8 June, celebrated as World
Oceans Day.
The voluntary
commitments "underscore the urgency for action and for solutions," said
Under-Secretary-General Wu Hongbo, who heads the UN Department for
Economic and Social Affairs and serves as the Secretary-General of the
Conference.
