[Invitation Only] ERIA’s Regional Knowledge Centre for Marine Plastic Debris organized DECIDE (Data and Evidence to Catalyse Informed Decision making and Engagement), a capacity-building initiative designed to strengthen regional expertise in monitoring marine plastic pollution and translating scientific evidence into effective policy.
The workshop gathered participants from Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, and Thailand – each bringing unique perspectives from coastal management, environmental science, monitoring technology, policymaking, and research. They also brought the real-world challenges: data gaps, limited harmonisation of monitoring methods, and difficulties translating science into policy.
This second of our capacity-building series was conducted in Bali, Indonesia on 2-3 December 2025.
