On the road to COP30: Climate Protection through Waste Management Stats - WCEF2025 Accelerator Session

The accelerator session will be part of an event series and the opening session for “On-the-road-to-COP30: Waste management and circular economy's role as contribution to environmental & climate protection”. Since the role of  proper waste management systems and recycling of secondary raw materials as part of an implemented circular economy are receiving more and more attention within the COP discussions, tangible numbers could catalyze these discussions while helping to quantify the source of emissions. 
Practical and local examples along the material stream of plastic will be given by the experiences and projects of adelphi and BlackForest Solutions for LAC countries to make levers for practical implementation visible.

Date and time: 15 May 2025 at 15:00-17:00 BRT (UTC-3)
Venue: online
Session language: English

What to expect from your session? 
How can we link waste management to climate change? Which role do proper waste management systems, including recycling of materials, play in CO2 mitigation? This session aims to dig deeper into carbon emissions and quantifications resulting from best practices in waste management. The session is the opening part of an event series “On the road to COP30”.
