Background

The world is facing climate related disasters more frequently than ever.

In other words, we must ensure resilience in our waste management systems for sustainable development. This is related to capacity to reduce disaster wastes, to deal with generated disaster wastes, to ensure continuity of waste management services after disasters, to seek for transformation of waste management systems after disasters, and more.
