About the event
Waste management is an essential pillar in the action against climate change and environmental degradation. Unsustainable waste practices contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, while poorly managed waste systems exacerbate public health risks and damage natural ecosystems. For Latin America and other developing regions, waste challenges are compounded by growing populations, urbanization, and limited infrastructure, underscoring the need for integrated and sustainable waste management solutions.
As the world prepared for COP30 in Belem, this “Road to COP30” event provides a platform to highlight strategies, policies, and collaborative efforts that can transform waste management systems globally. By exploring innovative approaches and sharing best practices, this session aims to inspire action and showcase how sustainable waste management contributes to climate resilience and environmental justice, particularly in vulnerable communities.
