Maldives - Increase mitigation in the Maldives's waste sector

Future

started:

2023

This project responds to a request by the Maldives’ Ministry of Environment to overcome the existing data limitations in the waste sector for informed decision-making and to assess the SLCP emissions from the waste sector.

Project reference: Maldives - Increase mitigation in the Maldives's waste sector [MV-22-003]

Objectives

This project will achieve by its completion:

The government of Maldives has methodologies and standards to collect data from the waste sector that will lead to better GHG inventory from the waste sector.
The government of Maldives has local GHG emissions factors from the waste sector that would improve the GHG emissions for future reporting under the UNFCCC on Maldives’ NDC implementation.
The government of Maldives has improved data to understand the waste sector SLCP emissions and to implement the recommended mitigation measures

What we're doing

This project will deliver at a minimum:

Development of data collection methodologies and standards.
Development of emission factors in the local context regarding waste GHG emissions in the Maldives.
SLCP emission analysis for the waste sector, with a specific interest in island communities’ waste management to inform tailored mitigation measures, including assessment of methane emissions from waste treatment and disposal facilities in the Maldives
