## Twenty-five countries. One shared ambition: ending plastic pollution.

Plastic pollution is a global challenge that no single organization, sector or country can solve alone. It requires coordinated action across governments, businesses and civil society.Hosted by the World Economic Forum, the Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP) is the world's largest multistakeholder initiative dedicated to tackling plastic pollution. Through a global network of 25 National Plastic Action Partnerships, GPAP helps countries translate ambition into action — bringing together governments, businesses and civil society to accelerate the transition to a circular economy for plastics and deliver lasting environmental, social and economic impact.
