The Union minister highlighted that Myanmar has developed a green economy policy framework to promote low-carbon and responsible investments that prioritize the efficient use of natural resources, implemented the Myanmar National Waste Management Strategy and Master Plan (2018–2030) and the Myanmar National Plastics Management Action Plan (2026–2035) to address plastic pollution, and stands ready to further accelerate its environmental conservation efforts in collaboration with regional and international partners to address shared environmental challenges.
