VIRGIN ISLANDS REPRESENTED AT PROMAR:
Green VI attended the Prevention of Marine Litter in the Caribbean Sea Conference (PROMAR) in Medellin, Colombia this past week. 🇻🇬
Made possible by the UN Environment Programme and the German Government, the Virgin Islands is now collaborating with the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Colombia, St. Kitts & Nevis, Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana and Suriname to create Caribbean-specific solutions.
PROMAR targets the reduction of plastic packaging and single-use plastics waste for the protection of the Caribbean Sea, while promoting circular economy and innovation.
