IMO, as one of the co-leads for sea-based litter in the Global Partnership on Marine Litter, has contributed to the development of the first so-called Massive Open Online Course on marine litter. The course is being launched by the United Nations Environment programme (UNEP), in collaboration with The Open Universiteit in the Netherlands, on 26 October. This free course (either a two-week or eight-week track) provides lectures, examples and case studies that will inspire leadership at all levels, thereby increasing awareness of and stimulating creative solutions to the challenge of reducing marine litter.
