3 INECC s Sustainable Cities Project 1. Assessment of environmental performance (set of indicators) for medium-sized cities: initial phase completed for two cities (Aguascalientes and Querétaro) 2. Public policy recommendation to address main environmental problems in Querétaro (including SWM) INDICATORS FOR WASTE 1. Waste final disposal (%) 2. Separation of recyclables (%) 3. Waste recycling (%) Environmental governability Air quality Climate Change Environmental sustainability WASTE Urban Mobility NEXT STEPS FOR SLCP REASEARCH 1. Integrate new indicators to assess black carbon and methane from MSW, wastewater treatment plants and diesel transport in Queretaro. Water Ottawa, Canada - January 23rd 2013 Land use Chemicals 2. Creation of a policy alternatives toolkit to reduce black carbon and methane emissions in Queretaro

7 Local challenges of the MSW sector in Queretaro Fulfill waste regulation requirements for landfills and controlled tipping sites in peri-urban areas. Federal funding to improve management in peri-urban areas Perform an assessment of the final disposal sites. Finance the process to fulfill waste regulation requirements. Thorough implementation of the Integral Waste Prevention and Management Programme Viability of establishing a tariff for waste collection services. Waste assessment in Queretaro City: Designing a recycling strategy (which technologies?)and identification of opportunities for the creation of markets for recycled waste. Exploration of public policy tools that include the private sector as an option for waste management in the city.

8 Success stories in managing SLCPs from MSW: Bioenergy and separation of waste NUEVO LEÓN: Bioenergy QUERÉTARO: Recycling First project in Latin America that recovers biogas from a landfill Since 2003 Installed generation capacity of MW Energy is used for public lightning and the subway It has prevented 85,000 tonnes of methane emissions (1,800,000 tonnes of CO 2 eq) Future Expansion 120,000 MWh per year to cover 90% of the public lightning of the city. Since 2005, Won the National Recycling Prize in 2008 Recovers 50 tonnes /day of recyclables 60% of the city participates as well as public schools Reduction by 27% of final landfill deposits Mexico State Mexico City Nuevo León Querétaro Selective collection in Querétaro Hidalgo Jalisco 8% 15% 18% 30% 40% 57% 0% 50% 100% Selective Collection Mixed Collection

11 Guide for preparing presentation: Each presentation is 10 minutes, with 5 minutes afterwards for questions from the audience. We will be keeping very strict time in order to allow everyone the opportunity to present and ask questions. The objective is to introduce yourselves to the Municipal Solid Waste Initiative. We would like to know: What are your current waste management operations like? Can you describe the responsibilities for waste management in your country? Are there local or regional challenges in the waste sector that you would like to overcome? Do you have success stories in managing SLCPs from your waste sector? Please limit your presentation to 6 slides total (excluding the title slide). Feel free to use photos and examples!
