# Tools

The Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP), alongside other partners, has co-developed a series of bespoke tools to help countries tackle the plastic waste pollution crisis. As we work towards a binding and inclusive treaty on plastic pollution, these tools address both upstream and downstream capacity gaps across behaviour change, actions roadmaps, recommendations and delivery frameworks.

## National Analysis and Modelling Tool

GPAP's National Analysis and Modeling (NAM) Tool allows countries to establish a science-based roadmap to accelerate their transition to a circular, low carbon emissions plastics system. What the tool does:


## The rigorous, data-based approach serves as a critical foundation for aligning and rallying diverse stakeholders behind a national action plan to address plastic pollution.

1. Assess a country’s plastic pollution situation.2. Simulate a multitude of solution scenarios and their environmental, economic and social implications.3. Confirm the most effective and realistic System Change Scenario and outlines steps to achieve it. The rigorous, data-based approach serves as a critical foundation for aligning and rallying diverse stakeholders behind a national action plan to address plastic pollution. The tool is based on the Breaking the Plastic Wave methodology and compatible with UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP)and IUCN’s hot-spotting analysis.

## National Plastic Action Roadmaps

Developed through a multi-stakeholder process, these roadmaps use data, modelling, and local expertise to identify priorities and guide action to reduce plastic pollution. By comparing current trends with systems-change scenarios, they show how coordinated action across the plastics value chain can deliver environmental, economic, and social benefits.

## Financing Roadmaps

Financing Roadmaps identify the investment needed to reduce plastic pollution and advance a circular plastics economy. They highlight financing needs and gaps across the plastics value chain, and outline mechanisms, policy levers, and investment pathways to mobilize capital and support national targets.

## Gender Equity and Social Inclusion Analysis

These analyses examine how plastic pollution and waste management affect different groups across the plastics value chain. They highlight social inequities and the experiences of women, informal waste workers, rural communities, and other vulnerable groups, providing recommendations to inform more inclusive policies, action plans, and livelihoods.

## Biodiversity Assessments

Developed in collaboration with government, industry, academia and civil society, this assessment series examines how plastic pollution threatens biodiversity across 9 countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa, analyzes the systemic drivers behind the challenge, and presents practical, evidence-based actions to reduce plastic pollution, halt biodiversity loss and accelerate circular economy solutions.
