ยุโรปตะวันออก, คอเคซัส และเอเชียกลาง

IPEN supports the region with valuable information and data on pollution that would otherwise not be available. IPEN also provides technical expertise and recommendations for addressing pollution that are adapted to the needs of the region. Lack of public access to information and data on toxic chemicals and plastics and plastic waste are significant problems in the region.

The EECCA region is geographically defined by the broad Eurasian Steppe, mountainous terrains in the Caucasus, and significant natural resources. Culturally, they represent a crossroads between Europe and Asia, with a complex history influenced by trade routes and post-Soviet political shifts, with a wide and diverse mix of languages, religions, and traditions. Despite political challenges, the region stands united in its work to address pollution. Approaches on how to solve toxic health and environmental problems are well communicated among IPEN POs, who work together to openly discuss challenges and ways forward.
