Community-Led Zero Waste Systems for Just Methane Mitigation

These cities show that community-rooted zero waste systems—when supported by public waste management programs— can bring about a holistic and effective waste management system that yields both environmental and social benefits. They turn climate ambition into tangible results: recovered resources, dignified work, just transition, resilient food systems, reduced waste disposal, community ownerships and measurable methane mitigation that begins at the community level.
