OVERVIEW
Developing interventions to arrest waste is a priority in achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goals on Clean Energy, Environmental Sustainability and Responsible Consumption. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. The world’s oceans and seas continue to struggle against increased acidification, eutrophication and plastic pollution, which are endangering the planet’s largest ecosystem and the billions of livelihoods depending on them. The SDG 14 (Life below water) aims to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
