AQMx Webinar Series: #3 Open Waste Burning

The AQMx webinar series will highlight the key activities, recommendations, and supporting resources included in the AQMx Sectoral Guidance launched at UNEA-7, covering four priority policy interventions to achieve clean air:

• Agriculture: Promoting alternatives to crop residue burning 
   
• Household energy: Deploying e-cooking solutions 
   
• Road transport: Improving fuel quality 
   
• Waste management: Eradicating open waste burning 

This webinar will explore how the AQMx Waste Sectoral Guidance supports action through:

• Accessible waste collection and recycling systems 
   
• Community engagement and behavior change campaigns 
   
• Integration of informal waste workers 
   
• Low-cost, immediate steps like hotspot mapping and school and hospital waste protocols
  
   

It will also showcase success stories in each of these areas, and highlight how the AQMx Sectoral Guidance can support their replication and upscaling. Time allowed for Q&A will allow for further discussion, and suggestions for future AQMx Sectoral Guidance covering other sectors or policies.
