Marine litter a global challenge – EU Ambassador

October 1, 2019 at 8:26 AM

Mrs Diana Acconcia, the European Union (EU) Ambassador to Ghana, has said marine plastic littering remains a major challenge in the fight against plastic waste worldwide.

This, she noted, was a major threat to biodiversity, and exposed the world to bad effects of climate change.

The Ambassador made these remarks at the EU Beach Cleanup exercise at James Town in Accra.

It was held in partnership Plastic Punch, a non-governmental organisation, the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, and the Environmental Protection Agency.
