In the COP27 Presidency, the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt will launch, a global initiative on waste management during the event and leverage over 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.
