Abstract: In recent centuries,the earth has experienced major changes due to human-biosphere interactions leading to alterations in ecosystem dynamics with a number of local and regional tipping points. Indicators of global environmental degradation include climate change,habitat loss,and plastics pollution,which singly or collectively lead to loss of biodiversity and nature’s contributions to humankind. Discussing regime shifts at local and regional scales due to human drivers is a big task. This article therefore focuses on plastics waste and specifically on the challenges and opportunities through its governance in the Kenyan context.
