项目摘要
The presence of plastic leaking into the environment is a system failure of monumental proportion that threatens the marine ecosystem and causes physical and chemical contamination at a global scale. It is estimated that 12 million tonnes of plastic enters the oceans each year and this has rapidly become a global concern. The economic damage of this plastic pollution amounts to around USD13 billion per annum due to degraded environments, loss of revenue from tourism, and costs of clean up and repair. This is a particular issue in the Eastern Pacific rim countries of Ecuador and Peru which host seas of great ecological, economic and conservation importance with high levels of endemic species, including fish, reptiles, birds and mammals, found nowhere else on earth. The health of this unique biodiversity is important to one of the world's key fishing areas and a growing tourism industry, supporting a variety of livelihoods and food security for the coastal people, many very poor. The total amount of plastic produced and used in Latin America represents 4% of the plastic produced globally. It has been estimated that 45% of this is inadequately managed, generating around 1 million tonnes of mismanaged plastic waste annually, and predicted to double by 2025 if no action is taken. This challenge requires a regional scale approach that allows environmental, economic, technical and social disciplines to come together to build understanding of the many factors contributing to the problem, its impacts and how it can be solved. Over the last three years we have established an enthusiastic and engaged network across the region committed to designing and implementing solutions for lasting change in Ecuador, Peru and Chile. Our network has strong relationships with Research Institutions, National Park managers and Environment Ministries in each country. Our vision is to reduce plastic leakage in the Eastern Pacific region, supporting development of a sustainable, circular economic system for plastics. We propose an integrated, multidisciplinary project with three core aims. We will establish the sources and drivers of plastic pollution including the mapping of waste flows across the region and life cycle assessments of materials used in key industries. Secondly, we will identify the key economic, ecological and health and wellbeing impacts of the current plastic pollution that pervades this region. Thirdly, we will implement and test interventions to mitigate and reduce plastic pollution and help progress the region to circular approaches to plastic. As we are already working with stakeholders in the region, we have some co-designed interventions ready to test immediately. These innovations range from helping streamlining the monitoring of novel-technology based clean-up operations to trialling an innovative community-based scheme to recycle fishing nets. As part of an exciting region-wide educational campaign to develop targeted awareness-raising for inland and coastal schools and communities, students will be invited to design interventions to minimise urban plastic leakage. We will test the scalability and effectiveness of these ideas. The evaluation of these, in addition to data generated in Theme 1 and Theme 2 will support the design and testing of further social, environmental and technical innovations. To ensure the research achieves the maximum impact, the consortium partners include South American government agencies and departments, NGOs and business with extensive experience of engaging coastal communities in the region and equal partnerships between UK and South American universities to develop local research capacity through collaboration and training.
塑料泄漏到环境中是一种严重的系统故障,威胁着海洋生态系统,并在全球范围内造成物理和化学污染。据估计,每年有 1200 万吨塑料进入海洋,这已迅速成为全球关注的问题。由于环境退化、旅游业收入损失以及清理和修复成本,塑料污染每年造成的经济损失约为 130 亿美元。这是东太平洋沿岸国家厄瓜多尔和秘鲁面临的一个特殊问题,这些国家的海洋具有重要的生态、经济和保护重要性,拥有大量特有物种,包括地球上其他地方没有的鱼类、爬行动物、鸟类和哺乳动物。这种独特的生物多样性的健康对于世界主要渔业区之一和不断发展的旅游业非常重要,支持沿海人民(其中许多人非常贫困)的各种生计和粮食安全。拉丁美洲生产和使用的塑料总量占全球塑料生产量的 4%。据估计,其中 45% 的管理不善,每年产生约 100 万吨管理不善的塑料废物,如果不采取行动,预计到 2025 年这一数字将增加一倍。这一挑战需要采取区域范围的方法,将环境、经济、技术和社会学科结合在一起,以加深对造成问题的众多因素、其影响以及解决方法的理解。在过去的三年里,我们在整个地区建立了一个充满热情和参与的网络,致力于设计和实施解决方案,以实现厄瓜多尔、秘鲁和智利的持久变革。我们的网络与每个国家的研究机构、国家公园管理者和环境部都有着密切的关系。我们的愿景是减少东太平洋地区的塑料泄漏,支持可持续的塑料循环经济体系的发展。我们提出了一个综合的、多学科的项目,具有三个核心目标。我们将确定塑料污染的来源和驱动因素,包括绘制整个地区的废物流图以及关键行业所用材料的生命周期评估。其次,我们将确定当前遍及该地区的塑料污染对经济、生态以及健康和福祉的主要影响。第三,我们将实施和测试干预措施,以减轻和减少塑料污染,并帮助该地区推进塑料循环利用。由于我们已经与该地区的利益相关者合作,因此我们有一些共同设计的干预措施可供立即测试。这些创新包括帮助简化对基于新技术的清理作业的监测,以及试验基于社区的创新渔网回收计划。作为一项激动人心的全地区教育活动的一部分,该活动旨在提高内陆和沿海学校和社区的针对性认识,将邀请学生设计干预措施,以尽量减少城市塑料泄漏。我们将测试这些想法的可扩展性和有效性。除了主题 1 和主题 2 中生成的数据之外,对这些内容的评估将支持进一步的社会、环境和技术创新的设计和测试。为了确保研究取得最大影响,联盟合作伙伴包括南美政府机构和部门、非政府组织和在该地区沿海社区参与方面拥有丰富经验的企业,以及英国和南美大学之间的平等伙伴关系,通过合作和培训发展当地的研究能力。
