National planning is emerging as a critical tool to translate global commitments on plastic pollution into concrete, country-led action. This insight report explores how well-designed national plans can support cross-sector coordination, align with international and regional frameworks, and unlock the financing and technical support needed to scale impact.

As negotiations toward a Global Plastics Treaty progress, national planning will play a central role in ensuring effective implementation and systemic change.

This report is led by a multi-stakeholder Working Group comprising Common Seas, the Global Plastic Action Partnership at the World Economic Forum, the Global Plastics Policy Centre of the Revolution Plastics Institute, IUCN, the World Bank Group, WRAP, Eunomia Research & Consulting, and the Plastics Pact Network.
