Description
Description | This initiative aims to reduce methane and air pollution across the municipal solid waste sector by securing city and country commitments to undertake a variety of best practice policies and strategies for waste. |
---|---|
Objectives | By December 2015, 50 cities globally will commit to develop and implement quantifiable
plans of action to reduce SLCPs from the waste sector by 2020, with support from national and partner city governments; By December 2020, expand the global city network to reach an additional 100 cities to build capacity and utilize the network’s tools and resources to mainstream SLCP-considerations in waste management practices; The initial 150 cities that join the initiative by 2020 will motivate and lead to up to 1,000 cities undertaking action by communicating, sharing, disseminating, mentoring, and scaling around the world their own successful best practices, supported by partners. |
Activities | Cities are currently piloting innovative waste practices through a pipeline of activities that begin by collecting reliable waste data (often unavailable in developing cities) and utilizing this data to design integrated waste management systems that address municipal waste priorities, including creating jobs and improving human health and sanitation, while reducing SLCPs.
Cities will be trained to design integrative systems that are financially sustainable and to mobilize public and private financing to implement projects. Cities and national governments are and will continue to work closely to replicate pilot city programs nationally, regionally and globally. The network will develop a set of tools to build the capacity of local governments to financially, socially and ecologically manage their municipal solid waste, and to measure progress, including quantifying their baseline emissions and emission reductions (projected and actual). |
