One of the celebratory moments for civil society organizations is the COP29 Presidency declaration on reducing methane from organic waste. While the Declaration shows goodwill, whether and how it will be put into practice is yet to be seen. Thus, we can’t help but ask, is it a boon or a bane?
Join the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives as civil society and frontline communities respond to the Declaration, share a set of environmental justice criteria to ensure waste methane reduction delivers truly transformative action, and call for a higher ambition on national action plan implementations.
