The objective of this Roadmap is to serve as a guidance on the considerations and steps to be followed for the progressive closure of dumpsites in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. It is addressed to national and sub-national governments in the region, who shall adapt and implement the Roadmap according to their specific baseline situation, conditions and circumstances. While the targets, milestones and specific timelines shall be tailored in each country, the adoption of this Roadmap as a reference document intends to contribute to an overall goal of phasing-out the dumpsites by 2030 in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the baseline analysis and already existing goals in LAC countries.
