22. 《巴塞尔公约塑料废物修正案》2021 年 1 月 1 日生效以来，巴塞尔公约秘书处支持制定塑料废物识别和无害环境管理技术指南，并建立了塑料废物伙伴关系，以促进全球、区域和国家采取行动。在此背景下，联合国大学开展以产品周期和价值链的过程、做法和治理为重点的可持续消费和生产研究。联合国大学通过大韩民国个案研究，确定大流行后有效管理塑料废物的战略和指南，并制定塑料税收指南，对该国的塑料管理立法进行更可持续的设计。在可持续水、能源和粮食体系领域，联合国大学正在实施研究发展项目，建立一个基于光伏太阳能技术的农业光伏可持续能源系统，在提高马里和冈比亚农业部门应对气候变化的复原力的同时，为当地居民提供粮食和水电。
22. The Plastic Waste Amendments to the Basel Convention came into force on 1 January 2021. Since then, the secretariat of the Basel Convention has been supporting the development of technical guidelines for the identification and environmentally sound management of plastic waste, and has set up a Plastic Waste Partnership to promote action at the global, regional and national level. Against this background, research by United Nations University (UNU) related to sustainable consumption and production focuses on the processes, practices and governance of product cycles and value chains. Using the Republic of Korea as a case study, the research of UNU is aimed at identifying strategies and guidelines for effective post-pandemic plastic waste management, as well as at developing plastic taxation guidelines for a more sustainable design of the country’s legislation on plastic management. In the area of sustainable water, energy and food systems, UNU is undertaking a research development project that aims at establishing an agrophotovoltaic sustainable energy system based on photovoltaic solar technology that provides food, water and electricity to the local populations of Mali and the Gambia, while increasing the resilience of the agricultural sector against climate change.
