ALL ACTIONS

Lead institution:

The University of Cadiz (UCA)

The Global Litter Observatory (GLO) aims to harmonize and compile information generated by numerous initiatives which characterize macro-litter around the world.

GLO relies (i) on citizenship as a major global force for litter monitoring, and (ii) on the adoption of the mass-based metric to allow comparability among datasets, an important weakness in the current system. The possibility of implementing such a mass-based measuring tool in mobile phones will give wide room for a more effective citizen participation in global monitoring as well as ease the flow and analysis of information through digital data sharing.

Start Date: 01/05/2021
End Date: 30/04/2026
