AGENDA 2030 - INTRODUCTION•

Over 150 Heads of State & Government are confirmed to attend the UN Sustainable
Development Summit in New York from 25-27 September 2015 for the adoption ofan ambitious, bold and universal sustainable development agenda that will end
poverty and promote prosperity by 2030, while addressing the environment.

•The summit outcome document, entitled “Transforming our World: The 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development,” was agreed on by the 193 Member States of
the United Nations, and includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

•This momentous agenda will serve as the launch pad for action by the international
community and by national governments to promote shared prosperity and wellbeing for all over the next 15 years.

•The agenda is unique in that it calls for action by all countries, poor, rich and middleincome. It recognizes that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with a plan thatbuilds economic growth and addresses a range of social needs.

•The new sustainable development agenda builds on the successful outcome of theThird International Conference on Financing for Development that recently
concluded in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

•There is a positive affect the negotiations on a new meaningful and universal climateagreement in Paris this December (21st Session of the Conference of Parties (COP).

AGENDA 2030 – SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALSAGENDA 2030 – KEY ELEMENTS
The Goals will stimulate action over the next 15 years in 5
areas of critical importance:People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace & Partnership.

TECHNOLOGY FACILITATION
Paragraph 123 of the Addis Ababa Agenda Action andParagraph 70 of the Post-2015 Development Agenda
Outcome Document called for establishing a technology
facilitation mechanism in order to support the sustainable
development goals.
The mechanism will comprise of :• a United Nations inter-agency task team on science,technology and innovation for the sustainable
development goals• a collaborative annual multi-stakeholder forum onscience, technology and innovation (STI) for thesustainable development goals• an online platform as a gateway for information onexisting STI initiatives, mechanisms and programs.

FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT• The Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA)
provides:• A comprehensive set of policy actions byMember States, with a package of over 100
concrete measures to finance sustainable
development, transform the global economy
and achieve the Sustainable Development
Goals.
• A new global framework for financing
sustainable development that aligns all
financing flows and policies with economic,
social and environmental priorities andensures that financing is stable andsustainable.

VISION FOR HOLISTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT
Benefits of waste management
Waste management has strong linkages to a range ofother global challenges: e.g.
climate changepoverty reduction
food and resource security
sustainable consumption and production.

Waste management is an integral part of theAgenda 2030

AGENDA 2030 AND WASTE MANAGEMENTMISSION
Waste management is an essential
utility service
Environmentalpriority

Public healthpriority

Achieve 100% controlled
disposal

Extend municipal solid
waste collection to100% of the urban
population

Eliminate open dumpingand burning

High Moon

COST OF INACTION

Environmental impacts
of open dumping andburning

Public health impactsof uncollected waste Gastrointestinal andrespiratory infections,particularly in children
 Blocked drains aggravate
floods and spread
infectious disease

Severe land pollution andfreshwater, groundwaterand sea pollution
High Moon Local air pollution andclimate change

ESTIMATING COSTS OF INACTION

Data are scarce
Costs to society exceed thefinancial costs per capita ofproper waste management bya factor of 5-10➢➢➢➢

Health care
Lost productivity
Flood damage
Damage to businesses andtourism

But evidence is clear
Need to act now,rather than waitingfor ever for perfect
information

High Moon

CIRCULAR ECONOMY CONCEPT
Ensure access for all
to basic waste services

Deal with the hazardous
substances in wastes

Stopuncontrolled
dumpingand burning

Bring
hazardous
wastesunder control

Focus
onwasteprevention

Focus
on the‘feedbackloops’

Tackle the problem
at the source

High Moon

We still have much to doto switch from a linear
Close a clean
to a circular economy
material cycle
