Advancing Climate Change Mitigation Goals through Improved Solid Waste Management

Tue, 11/28/2023 – 18:52

In recognition of the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Clean Cities, Blue Ocean program—the Agency’s flagship program to address ocean plastic pollution under the Save our Seas Initiative—invites you to learn more about sustainable, climate-smart waste management practices being implemented by the program and its partners, such as disposal site remediation, improved waste collection and routing, and advancing the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle).
COP28 is a pivotal moment for global efforts to address challenges around climate change. The increasing manufacture, distribution, use—and often improper disposal—of plastic products and other waste is simultaneously driving ocean plastic pollution and intensifying the climate crisis. However, improved waste management and recycling systems have the potential to significantly reduce GHG emissions and mitigate climate change.
USAID and its Clean Cities, Blue Ocean program are piloting new approaches to strengthen local solid waste management systems that also help cities reduce their waste-related GHG emissions.

Fleshy Gills and Spotted Caps Sprout from Ann Wood’s Lifelike Paper Mushrooms

by Grace Ebert | Nov 30, 2023
