Date Time “Plastic Action Day” in World Man and Biosphere Reserve Cu Lao Cham – Hoi An Soon after being recognised as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 2009, Cu Lao Cham – Hoi An has become a pioneer in eliminating plastic bags and other single-use plastic movements. Despite this success, a massive amount of waste, the lack of awareness and inefficient trash management continue to present a plastic challenge for the Reserve. In this regard, UNESCO launched the programme of Youth Initiative for an Ocean without Plastic under the support of Coca-Cola Foundation to contribute to the efforts of fighting plastic pollution in Hoi An. The “Plastic Action Day” held in December 2020 in Hoi An was one of the interventions under the Youth Initiative for an Ocean without Plastic Programme. The participation of top leaders of the city and province illustrated high commitments for a greener Cu Lao Cham – Hoi An, the World Man and Biosphere Reserve.
