This 48-hour workshop will bring together 20 international scientists to lay the groundwork for a scientific report on “Plastics and Global Health”, which aims to increase the understanding of scientists, policy makers and civil society on how the uncontrolled production of plastics and the unregulated disposal of chemically-laden plastic waste is harming the planet, fouling the oceans, damaging the ecosystems that support all life on earth, and ultimately causing human illness, disability and premature death in countries around the world.

The future ocean – what will it look like? Appreciation of our global ocean today is expanding, yet also revealing diverse views around trajectories of exploration and exploitation, requiring leadership at all scales and hearing many stories. This event will highlight leadership journeys from a global community of ocean leaders, who are making a difference where they live and work, and provide an opportunity for participants to share their stories as well.

The theme of this inaugural summit is: Fostering global collaboration to accelerate plastics recycling and redesign.
The plastics pollution crisis is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. While plastic pollution is a global problem, research and innovation in this area is not yet globally connected. However, the steps to ultimately tackle this problem will necessitate collaboration and perspective on a global scale.To that end, the first annual World Plastics Summit is being organized to assemble international research leaders in plastics recycling and redesign in Monaco. This meeting will be held on March 24-26 at the Novotel Monte Carlo Hotelas part of the prestigiousMonaco Ocean Week 2022.

Recent scientific breakthroughs have revealed the extreme resilience of Red Sea corals to global warming, a reality that represents humanity’s best chance of preserving a major coral ecosystem beyond the end of this century. This discovery led to the creation of the Transnational Red Sea Center, in 2019 at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, with the official support of the Swiss government. An independent, non-profit organization, the Center capitalizes on Switzerland’s neutrality, its long tradition of promoting dialogue, and EPFL’s reputation for scientific excellence to bridge science and diplomacy in the name of saving coral reefs – in the Red Sea and beyond.
The Transnational Red Sea Center aims to be a prime example of science diplomacy and to become a key player in future global environmental protection efforts.
