Description: This workshop, held in partnership with International Solid Waste Association, will bring together multi sector stakeholders who are working in various ways to tackle the open burning of waste globally which has catastrophic effects on human health and the environment. It will convene these key partners to ask the question: how has the needle moved towards ending open burning of waste over the past 5 years?
This workshop builds on existing political momentum, seen through the African Ministerial Conference on Environment resolution to end open burning in Africa by 2040, as well commitment to develop regional roadmaps in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It provides an opportunity for the community to come together in person to discuss changes seen in the sector and inform the levers that still need to be leveraged.
