The COP31 Presidency launched an Action Platform Against Marine Litter. The initiative aims to mobilize global efforts to address the growing problem of ocean pollution.

The platform's main objective will be the creation of a knowledge-sharing network among participating countries. This network will enable the exchange of experiences, best practices, and solutions developed to combat litter in the seas.

The action is part of the commitments made during COP31, the United Nations conference on climate change that brings together representatives from various countries to discuss urgent environmental issues.
