21-22 November 2018 Meetings in Brussel
Plastic Free is the Way to be
On the 21st of November the Seas, Rivers, Islands and Coastal Areas Intergroup (Searica) met with MIO-ECSDE and the informal Circle of Mediterranean Parliamentarians for Sustainable Development (COMPSUD) at the European Parliament in Brussels.
This was a unique occasion where Members of the European Parliament and Members of Parliament of non-EU countries came together with marine litter experts, environmental NGOs, journalists and other key stakeholders to explore the next steps in achieving a litter-free Mediterranean Sea. The event was attended by some 65 participants from 20 or so countries. Read more at: https://bit.ly/2RaH2Gr
For a long time we have known that plastic in the ocean is a problem; we know the causes of it deleterious effects on the marine environment.
With the Plastic Strategy and its approach to phase out or ban certain plastic products, the EU has set a benchmark against plastic pollution. A lot is happening already at this crucial moment. We need to leave the plastics behind and rethink the future of plastics towards plastics free oceans and seas.
A second meeting organised by GWP/ Med was held on the 22nd in Brussels implementing NEXUS programme in MENA ( Middle East and North Africa) countries about Water, Energy, Food and biodiversity. How to avoid that the consumption of one of them may diminish or damage the others. We are aware, in fact, that when we take something out from our planet we’ll pay in some way, particularly in biodiversity.

21-22 Novembre 2018 Riunioni Ambientaliste
a Bruxelles
Mettiamo al Bando la Plastica
Il 21 Novembre l’Intergruppo Mari, Fiumi, Isole e Aree
Costiere (Searica) insieme al MIO-ECSDE (Ufficio Mediterraneo per l’Ambiente) e
al COMPSUD (Circolo informale dei Parlamentari Mediterranei per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile ) si
sono riuniti al Parlamento Europeo a Bruxelles. E’ stata un’occasione unica in
cui parlamentari europei e parlamentari di paesi mediterranei non europei si
sono incontrati con esperti di rifiuti marini, ONG ambientali, Giornalisti ed altri soggetti interessati, per esplorare i passi futuri per raggiungere l’obiettivo di un Mediterraneo
libero dai rifiuti. L’evento è stato seguito da 65 partecipanti da circa 20
paesi. Continua a leggere:

Da molto tempo sappiamo come la plastica nell’oceano costituisca un problema e ne conosciamo gli effetti
deleteri sull’ambiente marino.
Con la Direttiva “Strategia per
la Plastica” per l’eliminare o mettere al bando alcuni prodotti in plastica, la Commissione
Europea ha posto un limite all’inquinamento da plastica. Molto è già stato fatto, ma dobbiamo lasciarci
alle spalle la plastica e ripensare il futuro con oceani e mari senza
plastica.
Un secondo incontro
organizzato da GWP/Med (Partenariato Generale sull’Acqua per il Mediterraneo)
si è tenuto il 22 a Bruxelles per l’
attuazione del programma NEXUS nei paesi MENA (Medio Oriente e Nord Africa) sull’acqua,
l’energia, il cibo e la biodiversità. Come evitare che il consumo eccessivo di una
risorsa danneggi le altre: siamo consapevoli, infatti,
che quando prendiamo qualcosa dal pianeta lo paghiamo in qualche modo,
particolarmente in biodiversità.
