NOT EVERYTHING �IS BAD NEWS �

13


American and European cities have demonstrated that raising disposal costs has a direct impact on waste generation.

14


Japan produces approximately 30% less waste per capita than the United States, despite having roughly, the same GDP per capita.

CITIES TAKING ACTION �•  1,039 actions in the waste

management sector.�•  65% of climate actions are

transformative.�•  50% on treatment, 40% on waste

reduction and 10% on waste collection.�

•  30% of organics management actions focus on source separation. �

•  86% of C40 cities intend to expand their waste management �

16

SOLID WASTE INITIATIVE �

There is a significant opportunity for C40 cities to reduce emissions from integrated waste management actions, as cities have the powers to enact change and there is the opportunity for still more actions in this area. Sustainable Waste Systems must be planned, developed, and operated within the framework of local resource availability, economics, and environmental factors. The Sustainable Solid Waste Systems Network aims to transform C40 cities’ holistic approach to waste management through reduction, improved collection and transportation, resource and energy recovery, recycling, organics utilisation, landfill diversion and alternative disposal.

Sustainable Solid Waste Systems Network

Climate and Clean Air CoalitionMunicipal Solid Waste Initiative The Climate and Clean Air Coalition is a global partnership of countries, international organizations, NGOs, and the private sector, seeking to rapidly reduce short-lived climate pollutants like black carbon, methane, and HFCs. The CCAC launched its Municipal Solid Waste Initiative with C40 at the Rio+20 conference. The Initiative seeks to foster partnerships, political will, and technical capacity that enable cities to undertake lasting action to mitigate short lived climate pollutants from the Municipal Solid Waste sector.
