Country Data and Interactive Map
In every Commonwealth nation and territory, plastic clean-ups will take place as part of the Commonwealth Clean Oceans Plastics Campaign to prevent 1 million pieces of plastic from entering Commonwealth waterways and oceans.
The Caribbean will be the first Commonwealth region destination for The King’s Baton Relay, with Trinidad and Tobago. The Caribbean part of the Baton Relay will culminate in St Vincent and the Grenadines on Saturday 14 June, before the Relay moves to Africa (15 June to 24 October), then Asia (25 October to 21 December), Oceania (2 January to 26 March 2026), Americas (27 March to 6 May 2026), and Europe (8 May to 23 July 2026).
The King’s Baton Relay will culminate at the Opening Ceremony of Glasgow 2026 on 23 July 2026, a traditional and fundamental part of the Commonwealth Games. As part of the reimagined Relay, all 74 batons will be reunited, and His Majesty's call to the athletes of the Commonwealth to come together in friendly competition will be read aloud by The King to mark the official start of the Commonwealth Games.
Use this interactive map to view how much plastic your country has cleaned up so far, how your neighbours are doing, and how close everyone is to preventing one million items of plastic from entering Commonwealth waterways.
