Waste Management Flagship Framework
GOAL 1: catalyse
transition to a lower-carbon economy &
society
GOAL 2: promote proper
waste management
practices
GOAL 3: promote optimal
contribution of the waste sector to green economy:
green jobs, green energy
PREMISE: GHG emissions in the waste sector mostly arise from landfilled organic waste, hence diverting or minimizing landfilled waste by implementing waste hierarchy is the long-term key to mitigating waste sector GHG emissions

Long-term mitigation options
• Scaling up: increasing the uptake of currently on-going projects & increasing impact of these types of projects in cc mitigation
• Mixing measures: – Promoting implementation of the waste hierarchy – Going beyond waste-to-energy in waste mngt – Moving from flagship to implementing overall
mitigation mix of measures

Key messages from the Framework
• Waste-to-energy, especially landfill gas utilization, is the lowest hanging mitigation programmes in the short-term
• Diversion of organic waste away from landfills is the long-term approach to mitigating climate change in the waste sector
• Proper implementation of the waste hierarchy supports climate change response, waste management and sustainable development simultaneously
• There is need to scale up existing response programmes but also to systematically combine various mixtures (e.g Mechanical biological treatment approach)
