Location: UNIDO at the UN Campus in Bonn, Platz der Vereinten Nationen 1, 53113 Bonn
Organized by: ISWA-Germany (RETech and DGAW)
This year’s UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) will be held in Belém, Brazil, in November. Germany is in a unique position to contribute: the UNFCCC Secretariat, which supports the preparation of COP30, is based in Bonn. Ahead of the conference, the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies for Implementation (SBI) and for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) will meet in Bonn from 16 to 26 June 2025, bringing together delegates from around the world.
Against this backdrop, RETech and DGAW, as the national member of ISWA, invite you to a dedicated info session focused on international climate protection activities – and the essential role of waste and circular economy systems in achieving climate goals.
Programm Highlight:
Keynote by Anja Schwetje (German Environment Agency)
As Co-Lead of the Waste Hub of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and Vice-Chair of ISWA’s Working Group on Climate Change and Waste Management, Anja Schwetje will share key insights into Germany’s climate achievements in the waste and circular economy sector. She will also highlight current priorities and international cooperation efforts, offering a global perspective on how waste management can actively contribute to climate protection.
Following the keynote, participants will have the opportunity to connect with one another and with delegates from other continents – and discuss which topics ISWA-Germany could bring forward at COP30.
Note: The event will be held primarily in English, with some contributions in German.
As the venue is located on extraterritorial UN grounds, all participants must register in advance and present a valid ID at the entrance gate.
