Hoja de Ruta de Financiamiento para la Circularidad de los Plásticos en la Ciudad de México - Resumen ejecutivo
This report is one of nine assessments examining the interlinkages between plastic pollution and biodiversity loss. The assessments map where plastic pollution has the greatest ecological impact, explore the economic and social interdependencies driving both pressures, and identify solutions across the plastics value chain. Each report reviews existing policy frameworks and provides actionable recommendations to address both biodiversity loss and plastic pollution while advancing circular economy approaches. The assessments were developed with contributions from a wide range of stakeholders, including government, industry, recyclers, academia and civil society.

Plastic Pollution and Biodiversity in Peru: Pathways for Environmental and Economic Resilience
Este informe es una de las nueve evaluaciones que examinan las interrelaciones entre la contaminación por plásticos y la pérdida de biodiversidad. Las evaluaciones identifican dónde la contaminación por plásticos tiene el mayor impacto ecológico, exploran las interdependencias económicas y sociales que impulsan ambas presiones, e identifican soluciones a lo largo de la cadena de valor de los plásticos. Cada informe revisa los marcos normativos existentes y ofrece recomendaciones prácticas para abordar tanto la pérdida de biodiversidad como la contaminación por plásticos, al tiempo que promueve enfoques de economía circular.Las evaluaciones se elaboraron con aportaciones de una amplia variedad de partes interesadas, incluidos gobiernos, la industria, recicladores, el ámbito académico y la sociedad civil.

Plastic Pollution and Biodiversity in Indonesia: Pathways for Environmental and Economic Resilience
This report examines the aspects of gender equity and social inclusion (GESI) in Cambodia's plastic value chain, highlighting the disproportionate impact of plastic pollution on select groups, including women, informal waste workers, and rural communities. It reveals systemic inequities in waste management and proposes a set of recommendations to support the livelihoods of these communities.

Cambodia Gender Equity and Social Inclusion Analysis
The Cambodia Plastic Action Roadmap assesses the country's plastic ecosystem through a baseline analysis and evaluates through a systems-change-analysis how upstream and downstream interventions in the plastics value chain could lead to a more circular model by 2040. The systems-change scenario is accompanied with a business-as-usual scenario which predicts a continues rise in plastic pollution up to 2040. The baseline analysis enables the modelling of future scenarios on plastic consumption up to 2040. The report was developed with contributions from a wide range of stakeholders, including government, industry, recyclers, academia, and civil society.

The Executive Summary of the Cambodia Plastic Action Roadmap provides a high-level overview of the country's plastic waste ecosystem through a brief exploration of the report's main findings. It includes an overview of the baseline analysis and projections of plastic waste consumption to 2040 under a business-as-usual approach, wherein no changes are made to the plastics value chain, and under a systems-change scenario, wherein the positive impact of upstream and downstream interventions along the plastics value chain are assessed. The report and its summary were developed with contributions from a wide range of stakeholders, including government, industry, recyclers, academia, and civil society.

This report examines the aspects of gender equity and social inclusion (GESI) in Colombia's plastic value chain, highlighting the disproportionate impact of plastic pollution on select groups, including women, informal waste workers, and rural communities. It reveals systemic inequities in waste management and proposes a set of recommendations to support the livelihoods of these communities. This includes interventions such as formalizing the employment of waste workers, expanding inclusive waste management programs, integrating gender-sensitive policies, and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration for an inclusive transition of the plastics economy in Colombia.

Despite recent headlines suggesting the climate transition is stalling, overall growth in green investments has not wavered. Worth over $5 trillion per year – the green economy is the world’s most dynamic growth sector after technology. Green revenues are growing twice as fast as conventional revenues on average and companies operating in these markets typically gain access to cheaper capital and often enjoy premium valuations on capital markets.
