The document outlines the comprehensive Solid Waste Management Strategy for the Sahiwal Division, focusing on transforming local waste practices into a modern, circular, and resource-efficient system across its districts (Sahiwal, Okara, and Pakpattan) over a fifteen-year period (2026–2040). Sahiwal generates increasing volumes of municipal solid...

The open burning of municipal solid waste (MSW) remains a prevalent yet underreported source of greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions, particularly in developing and transition economies. This study updates the 2006 IPCC activity inventory methods and subsequent refinements to quantify emissions from open waste burning (OWB) in Asian...

A growing economy, increasing population and changing lifestyles are driving the demand for goods and services, such as materials, energy, and food. However, the current systems for producing and consuming these resources are unsustainable. They are shaped by poor governance structures and policies, particularly in the areas of economics and...

This report provides a baseline assessment of Cambodia’s informal waste sector, with a focus on Phnom Penh and Battambang. Informal waste workers, including street pickers, door-to-door collectors, pickers at landfills and junkshop operators, play a critical yet undervalued role in the country’s waste management system. They are responsible for a...

This report evaluates a pilot project in Padang, Indonesia, that introduced the digital application to modernise community-based waste banks. The study explores how digital transformation can improve operational efficiency, data accuracy, and transparency within a circular economy framework. While the initiative successfully digitised thousands of...

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) has launched its first Methane Reduction Roadmap, reinforcing its leadership as a Global Methane Pledge Champion. Methane is a potent short-lived climate pollutant, more than 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Reducing methane emissions offers rapid climate benefits, improved...

Lifestyle changes are an essential, complementary measure for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and, therefore, also an important ingredient to climate policy. Computational models of lifestyle changes and their contribution to climate change mitigation can provide valuable insights in support of decision-making by individuals and policymaking. In...
