Opportunities in prevention, reuse, recycling, and energy recovery can achieve significant mitigation by reducing landfill emissions, reducing emissions linked to resource extraction and production using </span></span><span style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 14px;">virgin materials</span><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">, and providing an alternative energy source that substitutes fossil fuels.</span></span></span></p> <p class="rtejustify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 14px;">Trends in governmental interventions and business activity indicate that globally, governments and businesses recognise the economic and environmental value of better waste management. To transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy, these stakeholders require significant capital to invest in innovative, effective technologies and infrastructure that transform the waste sector and turn waste into resources.</span></span></p> <p class="rtejustify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 14px;">The Climate Bonds Initiative seeks to mobilise the global debt capital market in addressing the huge funding needs of the global waste sector, estimated to be hundreds of billions of dollars. To this end, the Climate Bonds Initiative has assembled a <a href="#Technical Working Group">Waste Management Technical Working Group (TWG)</a> that consists of 19 experts across 16 organisations including universities, NGOs, consultancies, and industry associations. </span></span></p> <p class="rtejustify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 14px;">Enabling the transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy will require more than slight improvements to business as usual. With the expertise of the Waste Management TWG, the Climate Bonds Initiative aims to develop mitigation & adaptation criteria for the waste management sector to facilitate ambitious emissions reduction and improvement in climate resilience. These will be aligned with the Paris climate change agreement seeking to limit global average temperature increase to 1.5°C. On top of climate change impacts, the Waste Management TWG will also consider other environmental and social impacts, where they are regarded to be significant.</span></span></p> <p class="rtejustify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 14px;">Launched in <a href="https://www.climatebonds.net/resources/press-releases/2017/01/climate-bonds-launches-waste-management-technical-working-group">January 2017</a>, the Waste Management TWG considered the types of waste and the technologies to be in scope and the priorities for criteria development. Waste types that got considered include municipal solid waste, commercial & industrial waste, and construction & demolition waste. Technologies considered include refurbishment and remanufacture, recycling, anaerobic digestion, composting, and energy recovery from waste. Meetings were monthly over 6-12 months. The Waste Management TWG developed mitigation & adaptation criteria for waste management activities and infrastructure, which incorporated feedback from an Industry Working Group (IWG). </span></span></p> <p class="rtejustify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 14px;">The new Criteria has now been <a href="https://www.climatebonds.net/2019/12/climate-bonds-launches-green-criteria-waste-management-investment-new-industry-sector-under">launched</a> as at December 11th 2019 and investment is open for certification.
