A Global Ocean Free From the Harmful Impacts of Pollution: Roadmap for Action

Ocean pollution is a complex problem. It threatens ecosystems, human health and economies, but a lack of data about its impact means relatively little is being done to prevent and address it.

Over two years, Back to Blue brought together hundreds of stakeholders from across the UN system, science, industry, policy, business and finance to understand ocean pollution and how to tackle it. The roadmap is a synthesis of this work.

The roadmap sets out an ambitious, strategic framework for a global group of stakeholder organisations to build a comprehensive evidence base about the impact of ocean pollution. It is designed to spark action to achieve the vision of a global ocean free from the harmful impacts of pollution by 2050.
