2024 Webinar on climate change mitigation through policies on waste

Date: 14 May 2024

The waste sector in Europe is response for 3% of total greenhouse gas emissions. While this is a small share, policies and measures addressing waste sector emissions have in many cases links to other sectors such as energy production, industrial processes or broader environmental and socio-economic concerns. In this webinar, we will look into the varied nature of national waste policies and how this has impacted quantification and greenhouse gas emission trends.
