UNEP is clearly positioned to help catalyse enhanced action for climate change mitigation within the waste sector, collaborating with existing organisations to ensure more effective delivery of
initiatives across the globe. As the designated authority of the United Nations system in
environmental issues, UNEP has a key role to play in providing leadership and encouraging
partnerships in the fields of waste management and climate change. The development of a framework strategy to implement the proposed mechanism requires input from a range of stakeholders. To this end, the current report is intended as a further step in a global dialogue to engage the international waste community, identify the key issues, and create a strategy that will deliver significant climate benefit in the waste sector.
