The public event will convene leaders from government, academia, civil society, and international organizations to share best practices, key findings, and explore collaboration opportunities for sustainable reduction of plastic waste in ASEAN. The event will feature keynote addresses by environmental leaders and presentations from pilot teams representing six ASEAN countries. Discussions will focus on how Behavioural Insights can drive long-term changes in plastic consumption habits.

Phase I successfully tested innovative approaches to reduce plastic waste in ASEAN countries by `nudging` people not to use single-use plastics. Examples include no free plastic bags, no free plastic straws, separate garbage boxes with display of segregated items, and awareness raising campaigns In Phase II, the project will further explore how behavioural changes can complement existing policies, such as bans and taxes. A new measurement framework will also be introduced to evaluate the effectiveness of ‘the Behavioural Insights interventions. This phase will produce practical tools and case studies to guide policymakers, businesses, and civil society in implementing behaviour-centred solutions.

A capacity-building workshop on 16-17 October 2024 will prepare selected partner organizations to implement local projects from January to August 2025. The implementing partners for Phase II include:
