Nutrient Pollution -Global Action Network

Welcome to the NP-GAN side event as part of the Ocean Decade Conference. NP-GAN aims to catalyse action to address nutrient and wastewater pollution impacts on ocean ecosystems and human health focusing on (but not limited too) agrochemical run-off of fertilizers and sewage/domestic wastewater. Register here.

On behalf of Cefas, Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, Wildlife Conservation Society, Cartagena Convention and Commonwealth Secretariat, this event will bring together multiple projects that all have aligned priorities to eliminate nutrient pollution under our endorsed Decade Action – Nutrient Pollution – Global Action Network (NP-GAN) with partners from across the world. Our first ambition is to identify steps to standardise approaches and exploring the interactions between science and policy to improve, mitigate, reduce, marine pollution to deliver on the ambitions of the UN Decade. We will share best practices and celebrate achievements where positive outcomes have been achieved for the reduction of nutrient pollution. We will discuss options on the acceleration of holistic approaches to managing our land to seascape for restoration and protection of our ocean systems.

This satellite event is organised by NP-GAN partners: Cefas, Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, Commonwealth Secretariat, Wildlife Conservation Society, Cartagena Convention
