High Level Sub-regional Consultation on Advancing Action on Short Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP) in Southeast and Northeast Asia
19 August 2014, Bangkok, Thailand
Dr. Mushtaq Ahmed MEMONFacilitator
SLCPs from the solid waste management sector
Black Carbon (fine particles in aerosol form)• Most strongly light-absorbing component of particulate matter• Formed by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels,
and biomass• Emissions patterns and trends vary significantly across regions,
countries and sources• An aerosol (not a greenhouse gas)• Remains in the atmosphere for as little as a few days to a week
before falling to the surface
Methane (gas)• Landfill gas comprises ~50% methane and ~50% CO2
• Global warming potential of 25 (100-year time horizon), relative to CO2
• Anthropogenic – formed as a result of management of waste from humans
• Black carbon and methane are the second and third largest contributors to global warming after carbon dioxide
• Because of their short lifetimes (e.g. days to weeks for black carbon), reducing emissions now can result in near-term climate benefits
1. Reduce waste generation2. Address open burning3. Promote organic diversion
programs: composting and anaerobic digestion
4. Use landfills as final disposal options and enhance landfill operations - promote methane recovery
5. Institute recycling programs6. Improve waste collection7. Implement sustainable
financing systems
How do we reduce SLCPs in the solid waste management sector?
Municipal Solid Waste Initiative
Long-term goalReduce emissions in participating cities and
replicate and scale up through national policies
Joining the Initiative
Aim: bolster cities’ capacities to reduce SLCPs across the municipal solid waste sector - three main activities : • Assessing & Implementing • Capacity Building • Convening
The CCAC MSW Initiative
Identify and quantify SLCP emissions reduction opportunities
Around 25 cities are implementing actions and more are joining
Mentoring partnerships established Knowledge platform launched Emissions quantification tool under
development Financing models under development
First Successes
The Road Ahead
- City Assessments Develop Work Plans Implement Work Plans
- Regional Training + Knowledge Platform
- Emissions Quantification Tool
- Pilot RB/OB Financing- Increase city-to-city
collaboration and networking / City Exchanges
- Increase national links and replication of best practices to scale up impact

1.Challenges
2.Lessons learned
3.Best practices
Key areas for discussions!
1. Suggestions on co-benefits of waste management for reducing SLPCs, health, environment and resources for growth and jobs
2. Suggestions on political profile raising at national and city level
3. Suggestions on stakeholder engagement from inception to implementation
4. Suggestions on cross-linkages with other CCAC initiatives such as diesel engines (waste collection and landfill operations), household cooking and domestic heating (waste to energy), national planning for actions (national waste management strategies), financing mitigation of SLCPs (financing for waste management), agriculture (waste agricultural biomass), and regional assessments
Ideas from the Group!
1. National governments (name of the countries) sees as waste management as a high priority agenda – thus requesting CCAC for support
2. National and local governments recommend the following cities to develop waste management plans assisted by CCAC-MSWIName of the cities
3. National and local governments recommend the following cities as collaborative citiesName of the cities
4. All the stakeholders recommend interactive multi-stakeholder mechanism to develop and implement the work plans aiming to reduce SLCPs
Suggestions from the Group!
Partnerships, Partnerships and Partnerships!
