Improving measurement, policy and partnerships all contribute to accelerating practical solutions for circular solutions to marine plastic pollution ♻️🌊

This is one of the messages at the center of discussion at our recent session on Circular Solutions to Marine Plastic Pollution, as part of the World Circular Economy Forum 2026 (WCEF 2026), held in Gandhinagar, India.

On Thursday 17th September, Team Norway consisting of The Royal Norwegian Embassy in New Delhi, Royal Norwegian Consulate General Mumbai and Innovation Norway Asia and the Middle East, hosted a session co-organised with GRID-Arendal, inviting government, academia, business and civil society partners from India and Norway to discuss plastic pollution and circularity.

समावेशी कार्यस्थल (Inclusive Workplace) भनेको वास्तवमा कस्तो हुन्छ?

कहिलेकाहीँ, यो कुनै ठूलो परिभाषाभन्दा पनि काम गर्ने ठाउँमा पाइने एउटा न्यानो आत्मीयता मात्र हो।
फोहोरमैला व्यवस्थापन क्षेत्रमा १० वर्षभन्दा बढी काम गरिसकेपछि, उनले आफूले बनाएको जीवनलाई फर्केर हेर्दै भनिन्: "हाम्रो त सबै ठीकै छ, चलिरहेको छ।"

सहकर्मीहरूसँगै वर्षौंसम्म फोहोर छुट्याउने काम गर्दै गर्दा, उनले यहाँ स्थिरता, गहिरो मित्रता र सम्मान कमाएकी छिन्। उनको यो सरल कथाले हामीलाई एउटा गहिरो कुरा याद दिलाउँछ - समावेशीकरण भनेको कागजमा लेखिएका नीति र तथ्यांकहरू मात्र होइन।

यो त यस्तो वातावरणको निर्माण गर्नु हो, जहाँ महिलाहरूले आफूलाई सुरक्षित महसुस गर्न सकुन्, उनीहरूको काम र अनुभवको कदर होस्, अनि जहाँ उनीहरूले आफ्नो दैनिक काममै खुसी र सन्तुष्टि भेट्टाउन सकुन्।

What does an inclusive workplace actually look like?

Sometimes, it sounds like a quiet sense of belonging.
After more than 10 years working in waste management, she looks back at the life she has built and says: “हाम्रो त सबै ठीकै छ, चलिरहेको छ।”

Through years of sorting waste alongside her colleagues, she has found stability, friendship, and respect. Her story is a brilliant reminder that inclusion goes beyond policies and numbers. It is about creating environments where women feel secure, where their experiences are recognized, and where they can find joy in their daily work.

We’re so excited to support and collaborate with the new LANDFUTURES Centre!

This week, our staff Rob Barnes and Guendalina De Luigi traveled to Hurdal where 60+ people from across disciplines came together to kick off an 8-year project focused on sustainable land use and planning in Norway.

LANDFUTURES brings local and regional land use planners, landowners, policymakers, industry, civil society, and indigenous voices to the table to facilitate sustainable land use through transformative research and practices.

We look forward to working together with LANDFUTURES Centre Leader Irmelin Gram-Hanssen at , cCHANGE , and the LANDFUTURES consortium to support the communication of this project.

What can a wall reveal about climate finance, trust and community power?

Why this matters
Blue carbon projects can protect mangroves and support local priorities—but only when communities understand how they work and can scrutinise how benefits are shared.

In Vanga, Kenya, a mural is doing far more than decorating a building. Co-created by residents, scientists, artists and project partners, it turns a complex carbon-finance model into something public, visual and open to discussion.

The process also revealed a bigger lesson: communication should not come at the end of an environmental project. It can be part of governance itself—helping communities challenge assumptions, strengthen accountability and shape decisions.

Discover how GRID-Arendal and partners helped turn one wall into a shared tool for transparency and transformative change.
