Global Programme of Action

The Global Programme of Action (GPA) is an international framework established to address the widespread issue of marine and land-based sources of pollution affecting the oceans. It promotes global cooperation to prevent and reduce pollution, protect marine environments, and ensure sustainable use of ocean resources. The GPA encourages countries to develop policies, share knowledge, and implement strategies to manage waste, chemicals, and other pollutants that threaten ocean health. By fostering collaboration among nations, the program aims to improve the sustainability of marine ecosystems and support the livelihoods dependent on healthy oceans.
