In recent years, plastic pollution has emerged as a growing threat around the globe. To avoid further negative impacts from plastic pollution, it is imperative for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Member States, with the support of ASEAN, to overcome these challenges. In response to this need, the ASEAN Conference on Combating Plastic Pollution was held in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 17 October 2023, providing stakeholders across ASEAN with a platform for knowledge sharing, discussion, and strategic planning. This report serves as a follow-up to the conference, condensing the discussions and resulting recommendations into concrete and actionable strategies in four areas: (i) technical strategies, (ii) stakeholder engagement, (iii) finance and investments, and (iv) ASEAN participation in the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution.
