1.Introduction

Background

The Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries, and Food Security (CTI-CFF) Regional Plan of Action 2.0 (2021-2030) emphasizes the necessity of strategies to combat ocean waste. Following the plan's launch, WWF CTP has been tasked with co-developing a plastic strategy for coastal areas in the Coral Triangle. The thousands of islands in the region face a unique waste management challenge, dealing with their waste and receiving waste from other islands and countries. The islands face the urgent need for scalable waste management solutions to preserve their ecosystems and protect local communities.

WWF CTP aims to establish a network of Plastic Smart Islands, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange to address waste management challenges in coastal and island communities. Aligned with the CTI-CFF's Capacity Building Roadmap, this initiative, in partnership with existing community learning hubs, seeks to inspire scalable waste and restoration solutions throughout the diverse archipelago of Asia.
