Rose-Liza Eisma-Osorio, Legal and Policy Director at the NGO Oceana, is taking on the Philippine government. A decades-old solid waste management law has not been enforced, contributing to massive piles of plastic….where waste pickers make their livelihood. Will the courts require the government to start banning single use plastic? And can a UN plastic treaty reinforce southeast nation's waste management and data collection laws… to finally make a dent in the plastic waste crisis in Asia?
This new three episode season is co-produced by the China Environment Forum with support from The Japan Foundation’s Center for Global Partnership.
Guests:
Rose-Liza Eisma-Osorio, Legal and Policy Director, Oceana, The Philippines
Dr. Simachaya, President, Thailand Environment Institute
