Why we are recruiting

GPAP has been established in collaboration with the governments of Canada and United Kingdom, the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, the World Resources Institute, as well as businesses along the plastics value chain. GPAP harnesses the convening power of the World Economic Forum to bring together governments, businesses and civil society to collaboratively identify and scale solutions to the issue of plastics waste pollution.
The GPAP platform is designed to bring together a diverse and committed group of stakeholders and decision-makers, providing an opportunity to coordinate action, amplify efforts and catalyse impact to address the plastic waste and pollution crisis. At the global level, GPAP and the Forum have served as leading conveners of multistakeholder conversations related to the global plastic treaty process underway. At the country level, GPAP supports multistakeholder platforms in 16 countries, with additional partnerships expected in the months ahead. As part of its global work, GPAP is expanding its role in supporting multistakeholder conversations on financing solutions in support of implementing a global treaty and realising its objectives.
