These are our 5 takeaways from the #IPCC report on #mitigation, looking at what it means for the #waste sector. Spoiler: we need to cut emissions as fast and furious as we can, and reducing #waste, #plastic and being more materials efficient can help lots

As the report points out, the #waste sector remains the largest contributor to urban emissions after the energy sector, even in low-carbon #cities. Urban areas themselves represent the lion’s share of global emissions, and it's increasing: from 60% in 2000 to 67% in 2015. 
So, the @IPCC_CH #ClimateReport recognises that cities can significantly reduce emissions, but this requires systemic transformation: #circulareconomy, #inclusion, #equity, innovative technologies can make a huge contribution towards low carbon urban devel'mnt

This Wednesday is another #IZWCC2021 day as @PPLH_Bali takes us to Denpasar 🇮🇩 to see how households are making a HUGE impact in diverting waste from landfills and keeping incinerators out! Link to video: #Go4ZeroWaste #breakfreefromplastic [1/7]

Zero Waste system in Denpasar is the sustainable solution rather than costly and harmful incineration that would just create new problems. #BurnNot #IZWCC2021 [2/7]

In Denpasar, managing household waste can help ensure organic discards, which comprise 70% of waste, aren't buried in landfills. This will help the government focus on the remaining 30% - inorganic & residual waste - through waste reduction programs & policies. #IZWCC2021 [3/7]
Hi! Archie here from @GAIAnoburn for #IZWCC2021 to deliver inspiring quotes from Mark Lloyd Mesina of Malabon City on their Zero Waste Cities implementation in partnership with @motherearthph. Link to YT video: #Go4ZeroWaste #breakfreefromplastic [1/9]
Malabon is a highly-urbanized city that’s prone to floods due to its flat terrain & proximity to heavily-silted river systems. The city has invested in drainage systems & pumping stations but waste clogging these facilities have negated flood mitigation efforts. #IZWCC2021 [2/9]
Malabon started its #ZeroWasteCities program 6 years ago in Potrero, the most populous barangay with 54,000 residents. The city has since expanded the program to all 27 barangays. #IZWCC2021 [3/9]
