Zero waste is real climate action! Community-led solutions like composting reduce methane emissions, protect livelihoods, and restore ecosystems. COP31 must invest in waste pickers and community-driven solutions—not waste incineration. #ZeroWaste #ClimateJustice
GAIA -Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives @GAIAnoburn📢 NEW PUBLICATION ON ZERO WASTE AND CLIMATE ACTION As we move toward COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, GAIA is spotlighting community-led solutions that show how zero waste delivers real climate action. 📍 Valparaíso, Chile: Methane Emission Mitigation by Waste Pickers Organic waste makes up 72% of municipal waste in Valparaíso, while the El Molle landfill is approaching the end of its life. ANARCH and the El Molle Workers’ Cooperative are developing a separate collection and composting system for organic waste from the El Cardonal wholesale market. Starting small and scaling up, this model shows how waste pickers can lead climate solutions, strengthen their role as essential service providers, and create compost for agriculture, parks, and other uses. 🌍 From Bandung to Durban to Valparaíso, community-led zero waste solutions are already delivering climate action. With the right policies, financing, infrastructure, and recognition, these proven approaches can be scaled up to deliver climate and social benefits together. 📖 Explore the publications and bring these solutions into the COP31 conversation. #ZeroWaste #COP31 #ZeroWasteForClimate
