On 5 February 2021, the Viet Nam Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) issued the Decision 687/QD-BNN-TCTS to approve the action plan on marine plastic waste management in the fisheries sector (2020 – 2030). The Decision has received high appreciation from relevant stakeholders as the fisheries sector is a pioneer in developing their first action plan to reduce plastic waste pollution. This movement has been seen as one of important milestones for the fisheries sector to take vigorous and consistent measures to reduce plastic waste pollution in the country.
The action plan aims to reduce plastic waste in fisheries production by gradually managing marine plastic waste from source to the sea, implementing a circular economy approach, developing a green economy, and raising awareness and social responsibility of farming and fishing communities, fishermen and business sector. The plan will also contribute to the successful implementation of the Decision No. 1746 / QD-TTg dated December 4, 2019 of the Prime Minister on the National Action Plan for marine plastic waste management until 2030.
The kNOwWaste Knowledge Platform was developed through a Project Cooperation Agreement funding by UNEP on 2016. The platform provides data and information on holistic waste management to stakeholders in Asia and the Pacific region. The platform was developed with the following aims: generate and consolidate data or information on holistic waste management, transform data into easily comprehensible outputs for use by key stakeholders, map out and disseminate information on international waste management projects under the GPWM and UNEP projects as well as other international partners, and provide capacity building support through dissemination of data or information support for relevant stakeholders on holistic waste and waste management system.
