Programme

International Conference of the African Marine Waste Network (AMWN) programme of Sustainable Seas Trust (SST), titled Towards Zero Plastics to the Seas of Africa, represents the premier event in SST’s calendar. The conference will focus on the actions and interventions that need to take place at every step of the value chain – including measurements of progress, social and economic considerations, municipal actions, capacity building and education, research, policy and legislation, collaboration, and networking – to move Africa towards the vision of no plastics entering the environment and, ultimately, the seas.

HERE’S HOW OUR LAST CONFERENCE WENT’

THE WORKSHOP SERIES

The preparatory workshop series, completed on the 12th of April 2022, was designed to ensure that key sections of what should be included in the Guidebook are inclusively discussed and transcribed into chapters. Each of these preparatory webinars have resulted in a detailed report which represents the first draft of each chapter of the Guidebook.

A draft of the Guidebook will be ready for inclusive discussion at the conference.
