Global Waste Initiative 50 by 2050

In this year’s CoP27 Presidency, the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt will launch, a global initiative on waste management during the event and leverage 180+ countries to take voluntary engagements at the international level for Africa. The holistic coalition sets the ambition to treat and recycle at least 50% of the solid waste produced in Africa by 2050.

To achieve the 50 by 2050 target, a 28-year roadmap will be provided to endorsing stakeholders as well as a consolidated pipeline of projects for the five working groups. Upon achieving these two milestones, a detailed assessment of the investment amount required will be provided to address the relevant areas such as infrastructure, capacity building, setting up a regulatory framework, digitalization and automation of processes, etc.
