Launch of the #CleanSeas campaign to fight marine litter in Bali

At the Economist World Ocean Summit Conference in Bali, UN Environment Head Erik Solheim is launching the #CleanSeas campaign.

This 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. UN Environment 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.
