Introducing ISWA's Initiative for Mayors and Municipalities (Philip Heylen)
Channel: be Waste Wise
Date: 11/09/2018

This is the third webinar in the strategic partnership between the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) and be Waste Wise. As part of this partnership, we will broadcast a series of webinars and online training sessions which will address today’s most pressing global waste challenges. 

Why is ISWA specifically targeting mayors and municipalities? ISWA's mission is to promote and develop sustainable waste management worldwide, to create a cleaner-healthier planet. To achieve this, ISWA's know-how and best practices need to be accessible to decision makers and those who influence policy on regional and national levels.

Over the coming years, ISWA will organise events and workshops specifically aimed at mayors and municipalities and will tailor it's knowledge and projects into accessible, executive summaries for decision makers.

The overall objective is to raise the profile of ISWA and sustainable waste management to the highest level by engaging mayors and municipal leaders.

Philip Heylen is the Co-Chair of the ISWA's Initiative for Mayors and Municipalities and the honorary Vice Mayor of the city of Antwerp, Belgium.
