The UNEP-DHI Centre is supporting the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in its efforts to curb plastic pollution by developing digital solutions to estimate plastic pollution in rivers and freshwater ecosystems, as well as in facilitating data sharing on plastics across organisations and nations.
This report contains the findings of the 2023 global reporting and monitoring exercise on SDG indicator 6.3.2 – Proportion of bodies of water with good ambient water quality.
A new video gives you the opportunity to explore the tool developed by UNEP-DHI and learn more about forecasting macroplastic loads in rivers.
The GPML risk and warning system for macroplastic litter in rivers provides insights on the problem of plastic litter in freshwater ecosystems. The system can help identify and map where the problem is, how it may change in the upcoming 9 months, where it originates, and how best to intervene.
In the midst of a global water pollution crisis, Sierra Leone has taken an important step forward by publishing an assessment on the water quality of one of its most important river catchments.
