In this systems change project, Searious Business involved business, finance, policy-makers, and civil society to make economic systems truly sustainable. Goal: catalyse good disruptions in economic systems that will speed the achievement of the UN Global Goals, specifically related to plastics in and around the Baltic Sea.

IUCN asked Searious Business to perform research on:

  • Analysis of existing laws and the resulting suggestions for legislation and regulation to curb the effects of plastics in the Baltic;

  • Inside analysis of businesses' levels of awareness, activism, responses, and incentives to the growing problems of plastics.

IUCN bundled our research with in a compilation of five different reports with the common base of the Baltic Sea.
