Present at the meeting were ISWA National Members from around the world, in a session jointly chaired by ISWA President Carlos Silva Filho and Philip Heylen, Chair of ISWA’s Sustainable Cities Initiative, and a representative from UN Habitat, introducing the Waste Wise Partnership to ISWA’s National Members.
The Waste Wise Partnership is a unique global platform that connects cities with the objective of implementing Sustainable Development Goals particularly related to solid waste management.
The letter of intent signed on Thursday by Carlos Silva Filho, further strengthens the cooperation between ISWA and UN-Habitat with the shared goal of improving sustainable municipal waste management in the world’s cities.
The partnership will focus on activities in three core areas: funds mobilisation, capacity building and advocacy.
