Documentation of IFAT 2016 Side Event Climate-friendly Waste Management through NAMAs in Emerging Economies and Developing Countries

Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) allow emerging economies and developing countries to design waste management strategies and systems that lead to effective greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. On a side event at IFAT / Munich in June 2016 international experts from climate policy and waste management exchanged their experiences on key features of Waste-NAMAs, such as funding and financing, participatory processes and informed decision-making across all levels and involvement the private sector.  The example of monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of Peruvian Waste-NAMA demonstrated the workload involved and the demands for standardized methods.
