| Summary: | Marine plastic pollution is
threatening the potential of the blue economy in the Middle
East and North Africa (MENA) region. Recognizing the urgent
need to address this problem, the governments of Morocco and
Tunisia decided to partner with the World Bank to address
marine plastic pollution by taking circular economy
approaches. Reducing marine plastic pollution makes
socioeconomic sense. This report summarizes the experiences
of Morocco and Tunisia to address marine plastic pollution
and liberate their coastlines from plastics (Littoral Sans
Plastique (LISP)) with the first phase of technical
assistance by the Bank. |
