On 23 April 2020 at 09:00 (CEST), Urban Pathways is hosting a webinar series on 'Adapting our municipal solid waste systems'.
While the current COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly spreading in some countries, thus intensifying its impact upon the world’s healthcare systems and economy, it starts to slowly decrease in other countries. During this time, ensuring reliable and safe municipal solid waste management (MSWM) services provision is a must for all local governments to protect public health and contain the spread of the virus. Therefore, UN-Habitat (Waste Wise Cities Campaign) and the Wuppertal Institute are organizing webinars, under the Urban Pathways Project, to support local governments and work together in combatting COVID-19. This webinar is part of a series of webinars under the title of 'How to continue waste management services under the COVID-19 pandemic'.
The full webinar series includes:
- Adapting municipal solid waste systems: 23 April 2020, 09:00 (CEST)
- Workers' Safety: 30 April 2020, 09:00 (CEST)
- Medical and special wastes: 7 May 2020, 09:00 (CEST)
