Improving Waste Management In MENA Region Through Better Data: Lessons From Iraq and Jordan.

 





This webinar will showcase insights from two country-led initiatives in Iraq and Jordan aimed at strengthening data systems to support waste sector management strategies and climate goals, including reporting.


Iraq developed an action plan for organic waste management to reduce short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) and align with the country’s updated NDC and zero-waste ambitions implemented by Mile Organization for Environmental Protection.


Jordan enhanced national capacity to account for greenhouse gases and SLCPs in the waste sector, supporting integrated assessments and informing policy development to guide climate-responsive waste management implemented by The Waste and Resources Action Programme.


Both initiatives were developed in response to requests reflecting national priorities of national governments. Outcomes offer practical examples of how improved data and institutional capacity can accelerate low-emission waste management strategies and systems in the region.


Participants will hear directly from the organizations that led the implementation in each country, gain insights into key findings and challenges, and can engage with project teams and technical experts during a live Q&A session.

Moderated by: 
  •  Camille Tahon and Donovan Storey (CCAC)
  • Isam Ghareeb and Rawaa Fahim (MILE) for Iraq
  • Billy Harris (WRAP) for Jordan
