《从污染到解决方案:全球海洋垃圾和塑料污染评估》揭示了海洋垃圾和塑料污染对环境的影响及其对生态系统、野生动物和人类健康的影响。
塑料制品是海洋垃圾中占比最大、最有害和最持久的部分,至少占海洋垃圾总量的85%。
该评估检查了海洋垃圾和塑料污染的严重程度,并审查了现有的解决方案和行动。评估表明,从源头到海洋的所有生态系统都面临着日益严重的威胁。评估在当前研究(和知识差距)的基础上,就污染对海洋生物的直接影响、对生态系统和人类健康构成的风险,以及社会和经济成本进行了全面更新。
总体而言,这份报告旨在为各级循证行动提供信息。报告强调了全球采取紧急行动的必要性。报告表明,虽然我们拥有专业知识,但我们仍需要政治意愿和紧急行动来应对这场日益严重的危机。该报告将为2022年联合国环境大会(UNEA 5.2)的相关讨论提供信息和参考,届时各国将共同决定全球合作的前行方向。

This video highlights the critical need to monitor and assess the quality of water in the world's rivers, lakes and aquifers for their management and protection. It also underscores that for many water bodies that sustain our lives and livelihoods there are significant data gaps, mainly in poorer countries.
Pressures on water resources are increasing unsustainably. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) brings people from all sectors together to ensure that water resources are managed sustainably, fairly and efficiently. If we are to have any chance of achieving a world in balance by 2030, we need to double the rate at which we are putting IWRM into practice.
