Accounting Systems for Short-lived Climate Pollutants and Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in the Waste Management Sector

The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) Municipal Solid Waste Initiative (MSW Initiative) is looking for an emission quantification tool focused on short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) to be used in participating cities. As a German contribution to the MSW Initiative, existing tools were screened and investigated more intensely with regard to their eligibility to be used for GHG accounting in the waste management sector including the possibility to integrate black carbon.
