​Global Launch of Waste Wise Cities Tool
In our rapidly urbanizing world that features mostly unsustainable consumption and production patterns, addressing solid waste management and plastic pollution is becoming more pressing than ever before. However, reliable data and information on municipal solid waste generation and management is lacking globally, especially in cities in low- and middle-income countries. This lack of data hinders the development of sustainable solid waste management strategies and constrains investment in infrastructure and service expansion, leading in many countries to insufficient or absent municipal solid waste management services.

Initiated by Urban Pathway team the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, will assist Lima, Peru, under the Waste Wise Cities Initiative (initiated by UN-Habitat) to improve the waste management system. Representatives of both cities participated in the Waste Wise Cities Tool Training on 22 October, and Lima will apply the Tool in early 2021.
