Global waste generation can climb up to 3.40 billion tonnes by 2050 – a drastic jump from today’s 2.5 billion tonnes.
In the face of this public health emergency, are Waste Management systems in West African countries positioned to effectively respond?
This edition of the program assesses the effectiveness of Waste Management systems in countries of West Africa on the occasion of this year’s International Day of Zero Waste, themed “Zero Waste Starts on Your Plate.
The theme encourages a shift toward circular food systems—redesigning how we produce, distribute, and consume food to ensure nothing is wasted.
