About us Founded in 2018 by a coalition of public, private and international organizations, GPAP brings together governments, businesses and civil society to drive impact at national, regional and global levels. How we produce, use and manage plastics today will shape the future of our environment and our economies. Each year, more than 460 million tonnes of plastic are produced, with around 19 million tonnes leaking into the environment, contributing to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, harming biodiversity and affecting livelihoods and public health. If current trends continue, global plastic use could triple by 2060. But this is also a moment of unprecedent opportunity. Tackling plastic pollution is not only about dealing with waste; it is about building resilient economies, protecting ecosystems and unlocking sustainable growth. Circular solutions can create new markets and jobs, strengthen food security and protect the natural systems that underpin prosperity. Our approach Active in 25 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America, GPAP , the world’s largest multistakeholder initiative tackling plastic pollution, shows that progress is possible when all actors work together for sustainable, resilient and inclusive growth. GPAP’s unique approach is built on three core principles: 1. Stakeholder ownership: empowering national stakeholders – governments, businesses, civil society and local communities – to lead long- term, systemic change 2. Evidence-based decision-making: grounding action in robust data, analysis and alignment with national priorities 3. Inclusivity: engaging all voices to ensure a just and equitable transition to a circular plastics economyThe Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP) is the World Economic Forum’s multistakeholder platform turning commitments to end plastic pollution into collective action and shared opportunity.
