G20 Implementation Framework for Actions
on Marine Plastic Litter
We, the G20 members, recognize the increasing urgency to tackle the issue of marine litter,
especially marine plastic litter and microplastics, on a global scale, further building on existing
efforts. In this regard, we acknowledge the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA)
resolutions 4/7 on Marine plastic litter and microplastics and 4/10 on Addressing single-use
plastic products pollution, and note the decision at the 14th meeting of the Conference of theParties to the Basel Convention to include plastic waste under the convention.
As the ”G20 Action Plan on Marine Litter” adopted at the G20 Hamburg Summit in 2017 laid
the foundation for the G20 members to address marine litter, this “G20 Implementation
Framework for Actions on Marine Plastics Litter” is to facilitate further concrete actions onmarine litter, especially marine plastic litter and microplastics, in line with the G20 Action Plan
on Marine Litter, while taking into account our own appropriate policies, approaches, andnational circumstances, on a voluntary basis. This framework is expected to complement thework of the UNEP.

I. Facilitation of Effective Implementation of the Action Plan
We will facilitate effective implementation of the G20 Action Plan on Marine Litter throughencouraging voluntary actions by the G20 members in accordance with national policies,approaches, and circumstances, and their information sharing and continued updating asfollows:

1. Implementation of actions-Facilitate the implementation of the G20 members’ actions in line with the G20 Action
Plan on Marine Litter, based on respective national policies, approaches andcircumstances, and in collaboration with Regional Seas Conventions and otherrelevant organizations and instruments.

1-Promote a comprehensive life-cycle approach to urgently and effectively prevent andreduce plastic litter discharge to the oceans, in particular from land-based sources,
through measures, inter alia, environmentally sound waste management,
environmentally sound clean-up of marine plastic litter, deployment of innovative
solutions, and international cooperation to enhance national capacities, as well as
prevention and reduction of plastic waste generation and littering, promotion ofsustainable consumption and production, including but not limited to promoting
resource efficiency, circular economy, sustainable materials management, waste tovalue approach, and measures to address sea-based sources.

2. Information sharing and continued updating-Share and update information on relevant policies, plans, and measures taken/to betaken in line with the G20 Action Plan on Marine Litter on a voluntary basis, andpromote policies and measures by peer learning from best practices, utilizing
opportunities to co-organize with relevant meetings, inter alia, the G20 Resource
Efficiency Dialogue and the multi-stakeholder platform to be established under theUNEP, which will be decided by G20 presidencies.

-The information to be shared may include effective measures to prevent and reduce
plastic litter discharge to the oceans, and their achievements and challenges1 whereapplicable and available.

-Utilize the opportunity of the G20 Resource Efficiency Dialogue during the JapanesePresidency for the first information sharing, and make a portal site available with thesupport of the Government of Japan for efficient information sharing and updating, andpossible outreach.

II. Collaborative Actions and Outreach of Implementation of the Action Plan

In addition to Section I, we will engage in collaborative actions among the G20 members
and outreach activities beyond the G20, cooperating with and supported by relevant

1 Relevant indicators, data or other numerical information can be also included at the discretion of each G20
member, for example: the amount of waste generated, reused, collected, recycled, and properly disposed of; theamount of marine litter cleaned up; the scale of use of innovative technologies and materials including R&D
investment; the scale and/or effect of assistance for countries that need technical capacity development including
the increased amount of waste properly disposed of (encouraged to indicate the proportion/elements of plastic
waste and/or microplastics, if available)2international and regional organizations and initiatives, while maximizing synergies andavoiding duplication of work, particularly with the work of the UNEP, as follows:

1. Promotion of international cooperation-Engage in international and regional cooperation and share best practices throughrelevant instruments, initiatives, and programs. Emphasis should be placed on regional
cooperation in collaboration with relevant Regional Seas Programs, Regional Fisheries
Management Organizations and other regional initiatives, as appropriate.

-Promote cooperation among the G20 members and with other partners to empower
governments, communities, and the private sector to advance measures mentioned inSection I. 1 including through technical assistance for those who need technicalcapacity development.

-

Invite relevant international organizations to develop policy tools/options such as bestpractice guidance for capacity development and infrastructure investment through,inter-alia, public-private partnership to remove barriers to private financing, incooperation with the G20 members.

2. Promotion of innovative solutions-Enhance collaboration internationally to advance innovative solutions such as forproduct design, resource efficient and circular approaches, waste management
practice and technologies, waste water treatment technologies, and environmentallysound products, taking into account their contribution to marine pollution and full lifecycle environmental impact, in cooperation with existing international fora andinitiatives, including but not limited to the World Circular Economy Forum, the Platform
for Accelerating the Circular Economy, the G20 Resource Efficiency Dialogue, and theG7 Innovation Challenge to Address Marine Plastic Litter. Encourage relevant actorsto take a life-cycle approach in the development and market penetration of innovativesolutions to reduce the negative environmental, economic and social impacts.

-

Encourage voluntary activities by the private sector internationally on the advancementof innovative solutions including environmentally sound product design, resourceefficient business models, and value retention practices. Explore ways to support andfurther facilitate such activities, including through holding relevant workshops incollaboration with business communities.
33. Sharing scientific information and knowledge-Encourage the ongoing work of GESAMP (Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific
Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection) to strengthen scientific foundations andbuild scientific capacity including by promoting and piloting harmonized/comparable
monitoring and analytical methodologies for measuring and monitoring marine litter,
especially marine plastic litter and microplastics and their impact.

-Encourage the development of global-scale monitoring of marine litter, especiallymarine plastic litter and microplastics, using harmonized methodologies in cooperation
with Regional Seas Conventions and Programmes, the IOC-UNESCO, the UNEP andother relevant organizations and initiatives.

-

Encourage scientific communities and relevant experts to explore ways to identify andestimate the sources, pathways and fate of plastic waste leakage toward thedevelopment of global land and sea-based source inventories, including by holding
relevant workshops, and contribute to the scientific and technological work of the UNEP,
while noting that single-use plastics and fishing gears are reported to constitutesignificant sources.

-

Encourage international coordination on scientific research, including socio-economic
research and research on microplastics including nanoplastics, and the sharing of
scientific knowledge such as the impacts of plastic pollution on human health, andmarine biodiversity and ecosystems.

4. Multi-stakeholder involvement and awareness raising-Collaborate and cooperate with, and empower non-G20 countries, local governments,
the private sector, civil society organizations, NGOs, and academia to work in a multisector manner and invite them to take actions in line with this framework, including incollaboration with partnerships or networks focused on global marine litter issues.

-Raise awareness globally on the importance of, among others, urgent and effective
actions at all levels to prevent and reduce plastic litter discharge to the oceans, as wellas sustainable consumption and production, including but not limited to promoting
resource efficiency, circular economy, sustainable materials management, and waste
to value, by utilizing opportunities such as “World Environmental Day”, “World OceansDay”, and related national awareness days.
