A key driver for innovation in safer, more sustainable chemicals is the impacts of toxic chemicals on the world’s oceans. Water sustainability is a primary issue for investors, and it is important for companies to know both the impacts of toxic chemicals in water, the risks of being connected to ocean contamination, and the benefits of green chemistry investments to solve the ocean’s toxic problem.
This webinar features Charles Goddard, Editorial Director for The Economist Group and Dr. Elsie Sunderland, Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering at Harvard University discussing the global impact of chemical contamination in our oceans, the far-reaching impacts, and potential solutions.

We invite UN and government agencies, universities, scientific bodies, NGOs, private sector representatives, investors and individuals to share their views. We will publish, with your permission, selected submissions on our website. In 2023 we plan to publish a position paper which incorporates the views and suggestions contained in these submissions, and use these submissions to form the basis of a draft roadmap towards an inclusive and collaborative global solution to ocean pollution monitoring and data governance.
Your submission can contain any information that you think this relevant, however we particularly draw your attention to the following questions:
Is there a genuine need for a global effort to address marine pollution data gaps? Why or why not?
What would it take to support and build upon existing global data collection and governance bodies and frameworks to develop a comprehensive picture of marine pollution?
Which organisations need to be involved to ensure success?
How could existing bodies and frameworks be expanded to not just warehouse data but to usefully communicate it to the public and decision-makers in a way that drives meaningful change?
