The National Awareness and Training Workshop on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), held in Maseru, Lesotho on 17 June 2026, brought together government agencies, municipalities, producers, academia, civil society, development partners, and informal-sector representatives to explore pathways for developing an inclusive and nationally...

The Capacity Building and Technical Training Programme on Waste Characterisation Survey Methodology, held in Lesotho on 15–16 June 2026, aimed to strengthen national capacity for evidence-based waste governance and planning. Organized by UNEP-IETC, IGES-CCET, UNDP, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and the National University of Lesotho...

Urban heat in rapidly growing megacities is spatially uneven, yet the relative influence of built form, socioeconomic activity and blue-green spatial configuration remains insufficiently resolved in cities of the Global South. This study examines neighbourhood-scale controls on land surface temperature (LST) in Delhi, India, using a single clear...

Bhutan faces mounting pressure on its municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems. Its capital city, Thimphu, generates approximately 50 tonnes of MSW per day, of which roughly 30 tonnes per day is organic (wet) waste that is currently deposited at the Memelakha landfill — an ageing open-dumpsite already well beyond its intended lifespan.

This study presents a grid-based machine-learning framework for neighbour hood-scale typhoon risk mapping integrating geophysical...
