As the new chair of ASEAN in 2020, Viet Nam is committed to leading the way for the broader South-East Asia region in developing and implementing meaningful policies to address plastic waste and pollution. Under the National Action Plan on Marine Plastic Debris Management, the country has pledged to reduce the flow of plastics into the ocean by 75% by 2030, and to boost the sustainable growth of its marine economy.
On 23 December 2020, GPAP partnered with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Viet Nam and WWF-Viet Nam to officially launch a national collaboration platform for plastic pollution action.
