The threat of Plastic pollution to marine ecosystems and sustainable use of the ocean continues to grow steadily.
A strong scientific understanding of the nature, scale, and impact of the plastic crisis is essential for developing sustainable solutions. Tackling plastic pollution effectively and preventing its entry into marine environments from both land- and sea-based sources requires coordination and collaboration among nations, local authorities, academics, as well as private-sector and public stakeholders.
For these reasons, the Government of Iceland will host the Third International Symposium on Plastics in the Atlantic at Harpa, Reykjavík Concert Hall and Conference Center, on 20-22 October 2026.
