“Poor solid waste management is a pressing challenge worldwide as it contributes to each element of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss while also endangering human health. Chemonics believes that access to essential services – waste management included – is a human right and that strengthening waste management is climate action. Progress requires concerted effort and strategic mobilization of cross-sector resources, making a platform like ISWA critical for meaningful change.”
