On June 8, 2023, the concluding meeting of “Sino-Norwegian Cooperation Project on Capacity Building for Reducing Plastic and Microplastic Pollution" project (hereinafter referred to as the "Project") was successfully held in Beijing. The meeting was organized by the Basel Convention Regional Centre for Asia and the Pacific (hereinafter referred to as "BCRC China"), the implementation agency of the project, the Norwegian Embassy in China, the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Department of International Cooperation, the Department of Solid Waste and Chemicals and the Department of Marine Ecology and Environment, as well as project participants and project demonstration city representatives of nearly 40 people attended the meeting.
The meeting included opening ceremony, technical exchange and project comment. The opening session was presided over by Li Jinhui, Executive Director of BCRC China and Professor of Tsinghua University. Minister Tonkona of the Norwegian Embassy in China, Yang Xiaoming, Deputy Director General of the Department of International Cooperation and First Inspector of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Wen Xuefeng, Deputy Director General of the Department of Solid Waste and Chemicals of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and Erin Ekstadt, Director Expert of the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment delivered opening speeches. Mr. Ellipse Larsson, Deputy Director of the Norwegian Institute for Water Research, reviewed the history of cooperation between China and Norway in the field of environment.
In his speech, Minister Tonkana said that he had read many project evaluation reports in his career and found the project evaluation report to be pertinent and clear in its assessment of the results and benefits achieved, i.e. that the project had been a great success and had produced outstanding results and that the project's results had made an important contribution to the national policy on ‘Zero-Waste Cities’, plastics and microplastics, and to the Sino-Norwegian bilateral dialogue. The project generates broad social benefits by sharing the results with other countries, enriching the global knowledge and training of future professionals; and the project contributes to Norway's strategic goal of developing a strategy to fight against marine litter and microplastics, and is of great significance in improving the management capacity of the governments of both Norway and China.
Deputy Director Yang Xiaoling highly appreciated the hard work of the participating units in the implementation of the project, which has produced a lot of important results, facilitated the implementation of relevant policies in China, and contributed Chinese wisdom and experience to the global plastic pollution control.
Deputy Director Wen Xuefeng said that the project focuses on marine waste plastics and microplastics, attaches importance to capacity building, and meets the actual needs of China's plastic pollution control, and hoped to continue to strengthen cooperation, deepen friendship, and contribute to the cause of global environmental protection with practical actions, and actively promote the process of the new plastics convention.
The technical exchange session was chaired by Zhao Nana, Assistant director of BCRC China, and the project units reported their main research contents and achievements. Researcher Chen Yuan, Chief of the Regional Chemicals Management Branch of BCRC China, first introduced the overall implementation of the project and the international and domestic impact of the project output, and Anna Maios, Coordinator of the Waste and Plastic Pollution Team of the Norwegian Environment Agency, reported on the Norwegian and European policies on plastic pollution and the thinking after INC2. Lin Yan, Senior Researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Water Research, presented capacity building for monitoring and modeling plastics in the environment, and Tan Quanyin, Chief of General Office of BCRC China, reported on a case study of life cycle assessment of typical products. Liu Chunxin, a researcher from the Solid Waste and Chemical Management Technology Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, introduced the environmental harmless management of plastic waste in China and the exploration of express packaging plastic reduction in the construction of "Zero-waste city". Zhang Shoufeng, an engineer from the National Marine Environmental Monitoring Center, introduced the monitoring of Marine garbage and microplastics in China. Associate Professor Xu Jiayi from East China Normal University gave a report on the development and demonstration of microplastics monitoring methods.
In the comments session, Mr. Ellipse Larsen invited representatives of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and demonstration cities to comment on the project results, and all parties affirmed the project results, believing that the project, as China's first bilateral project to coordinate the prevention and control of plastic pollution on land and sea, will make positive contributions to China's ability to improve the management of Marine waste plastics and microplastics. They also agreed that the two sides should continue to cooperate to further enhance China's and the world's plastic pollution control capacity.
Finally, in his closing speech, Ms. Li Jinhui, Executive Director of BCRC China, once again thanked the Norwegian Ministry of Environment, the Embassy in China for their support in the implementation of the project and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment for their careful guidance, and thanked the project participants for their contributions and efforts. It is pointed out that there is a long way to go to control plastic pollution, and we look forward to continued cooperation to make greater contributions to global plastic pollution control.
The " Sino-Norwegian Cooperation Project on Capacity Building for Reducing Plastic and Microplastic Pollution" project was approved by the Ministry of Commerce and the Norwegian Embassy in China on December 29, 2019, through baseline research, environmental impact assessment, pollution monitoring technology and tool development, policy research, awareness raising and other activities to help China's Marine waste plastics and microplastics pollution control.
