1 Municipal Solid Waste Initiative Partner Meeting Paris, France, 31 March, 2014 Gary Crawford International Solid Waste Association

2 The Climate and Clean Air Coalition to reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Political leadership to address Short-lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs) as a global and collective challenge to protect the environment and public health, promote food and energy security, and address near term climate change Voluntary, partner led - Coalition of the willing and working! Feb Partners Nov Partners: 34 States, IGOs, NGOs and private sector Science driven, action-oriented Building on and bringing together existing efforts Complementary to global efforts to reduce CO 2 in particular under UNFCCC

3 High Level Assembly High Level meeting of all the Partners (co-chairs Achim Steiner & host Minister Working Group All Partners (34 States, 8 IGOs, 33 NGOs) - Oversees the activities, main decision making body Steering Committee New composition Canada, Jordan, Mexico, Nigeria, Sweden, U.S, IGSD, WB. Oversight support and recommendations to the Working Group and High Level Assembly Scientific Advisory Panel Keep abreast of changes in knowledge, respond to targeted questions, and inform policy discussions Now 13 members Secretariat Head Helena Molin Valdès Oversee and coordinate overall action, supports Partners and supports development and monitoring of initiatives Hosted by UNEP in Paris, also manages the Coalition Trust Fund Initiatives, Lead Partners CCAC Structure Partner Driven Coordinate and oversee the development, implementation and reporting of their respective initiatives in accordance with WG and HLA decisions

4 CCAC Initiatives Catalysing Action: 10 Initiatives underway 2013 Heavy Duty Diesel Vehicles and Engines Municipal Solid Waste Sector Brick Production Promoting HFC Alternative Technology and Standards Oil And Natural Gas Production Household Cooking and Domestic Heating Financing Mitigation of SLCPs Supporting National Planning for Action on SLCPs (SNAP) SLCPs Regional Assessm ents Agriculture

5 Waste Sector actions to reduce GHG emissions Collection and transportation Rationalization of collection operations and improvement of fuel efficiency. Use of alternative fuels (biodiesel, bioethanol...) Development of alternative means of transportation (rail and waterway transport...) Implementation of driver training programs Recycling Increase of the material recovery rate to save energy. Recovery of substitute fuels (waste oil, refuse derived fuels...) Waste to energy Substitution of energy produced from fossil fuels by thermal energy and electricity from waste combustion. Recovery of metals and bottom ashes from incineration. Biological treatment Increase the compost production, low emitting treatment solution. Recovery of the methane from anaerobic digestion processes Landfill Installation of active landfill gas collection and treatment systems Use of landfill gas as a fuel to produce electricity or thermal energy

6 Waste Sector actions to reduce Black Carbon emissions Collection and transportation Rationalization of collection operations and improvement of fuel efficiency. Use of cleaner fuels and modern technologies Implementation of driver training programs Waste Handling Equipment Using cleaner fuels and modern technologies. Employing operator best practices Flare, boilers, and other combustion sources Maintain high combustion temperatures and clean combustion chambers Ensure best operating practices at plants Open fires Banning deliberate open burning Increasing security around waste areas to prevent incidental fires. Improving waste collection services to reduce household burning of waste Improving landfill management practices to prevent spontaneous fires

7 Municipal Solid Waste Initiative Long-term goal Reduce emissions in participating cities and replicate and scale up through national policies

8 Joining the Initiative

9 The CCAC MSW Initiative Aim: bolster cities capacities to reduce SLCPs across the municipal solid waste sector - three main activities : Assessing & Implementing Capacity Building Convening 1. Identify and quantify SLCP emissions reduction opportunities

10 First Success Around 20 cities are implementing actions and more are joining Mentoring partnerships established Knowledge platform launched Emissions quantification tool under development Financing models under development

11 Knowledge Platform

12 Next steps: - Assist on further city assessments, - Assist the current cities to take concrete action to reduce emissions by implementing their work plans, - Conduct regional training and benefit from the knowledge platform, - Develop an emissions quantification tool to measure and monitor progress in reducing SLCPs through new projects, - Pilot a results-based/output-based funding mechanism at two cities - Continue to work with individual cities in countries around the world to develop models of best practices for reducing SLCPs from waste. - Provide input to national governments on programs, policies and incentives that can help scale-up action from individual cities to countrywide approaches. - Develop comprehensive guidelines to help cities to understand how to finance SLCP-related MSW projects
