CCET Waste Management Strategy Development: Consultation and Formulation Process

1. CCET Waste Management Strategy Development: Consultation and Formulation Process Matthew Hengesbaugh, Policy Researcher IGESSustainable Consumption and Production Area Mainstreaming Disaster Waste Management Symposium Osaka City Government/UNEP-IETC 14 February 2017

2. Presentation Outline Background: WM Challenges IGES-UNEP Collaborating Centre on Environmental Technologies (CCET) Strategy Formulation in Myanmar and Cambodia

3. Institute of Global Environmental Strategies • Founded in 1998under the initiative of Japanese government and with the support of Kanagawa Prefecture. • Purpose: To conduct innovative policy development and strategic research for environmental measures, reflecting the results of research into political decisions for realizing sustainable development both in the Asia-Pacific region and globally. • HQ：Hayama, Kanagawa Pref. • Employees: 175> Researchers 100 • > Foreign Researchers 42% • Rankedas 38th out of 6,500 • research institutions across the globe. • (2014, Univ. Pennsylvania) • 15/210 in Climate Change Research（2013）

4. UNEP International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) • IETC is a branch of UNEP / Division of Technology, Industry and Economy (DTIE), and is responsible for works relevant to waste management. • Its main function is to promote the application of Environmentally Sound Technologies (ESTs) in developing countries and countries in transition, with a focus on waste management related issues. • It is located in Tsurumi Park, Osaka

5. IETC’s Approach to Waste Management • Holistic Approach to Waste Management • Waste-to-Resource: • From Linear Flow to Closed-loop of Resource Circulation • Promotion of Preventive Policy and 3R Sustainability Waste to Resource Knowledge, Expertise, Technology, Policies

6. Experience of IETC: Integrated Waste Management • Wuxi City, China– 2008 • Pune City, India – 2008 • Maseru City, Lesotho– 2009 • Matale City, Sri Lanka– 2009 • Novo Humburgo City, Brazil – 2009 • Nairobi City, Kenya – 2010 • Bahir Dar City, Ethiopia – 2010 • PathumThani Province, Thailand– 2011 • Addis Ababa City, Ethiopia– 2011 • Da Nang City, Vietnam - 2012 • Kampot City, Cambodia- 2012 • Bangkok City, Thailand - 2012 • Honduras - 2013

7. Challenge: Increasing Waste Generation Currently, world cities generate about 1.3 billion tonnes of solid waste per year. This volume is expected to increase to 2.2 billion tonnes by 2025. “Lower income cities in Asia and Africa will double their municipal solid waste generation within next 15-20 years”

8. Resource Challenges for Asia & the Pacific • UNEP’s GEO-6 Report: Regional Assessment for Asia & the Pacific (2016) indicated that the region’s material consumption accountedfor more than 50 percent of global consumption in 2015. • Further, UNEP’s REEO report (2011) confirmed that material resource consumption would increase 3 times in 2050 compared to 2005 in Asia-Pacific region. • Even if resource and energy efficiency increase by 50%, resource consumption continues to expand with supply demands. • Therefore, developing economies need to increase its resource efficiencyon the one hand; developed economies need to shift policy and investment for systems innovation towards decreasing resource consumption.

9. Paradigm shift from Waste Management to Resource Management 20th CENTURY WASTEMANAGEMENT “How do we get rid of our waste efficiently with minimum damage to public health and the environment?” 21st CENTURY RESOURCEMANAGEMENT “How do we handle our discarded resources in ways which do not deprive future generations of some, if not all,of their value?”

10. What needs to be done at the local and national levels

11. IGES-UNEP Collaborating Centre on Environmental Technologies (CCET)

12. IGES Centre Collaborating with UNEP on Environmental Technologies (CCET) • Founded in March 2014based on the Agreement between UNEP and IGES for the Establishment of the Centre Collaborating with UNEP on Environmental Technologies. • Purpose: To support UNEP-IETC (International Environmental Technology Centre) • 1) By assisting the provision of additional scientific, technological and policy relevant • knowledge and information through existing resources • 2) By enabling additional networking and collaboration with other domestic / international • partners. • Location：IGES HQ (Hayama, Kanagawa Pref.) • Employees: • Director, 2 IGES researchers Sustainable Consumption and Production Research 3R and Resource Efficiency Policy Research CCET

13. Collaborating Centre: Work Plan (1) Data Collection Assessment of current solid waste management system Strategy and Action Plan 1st National / City Level Workshop 2nd National / City Level Workshop Pilot Project 1. Supporting Development / Implementation of National, City & Regional Level Waste Management Strategies and Action Plans • Supporting Myanmar, Cambodia and their target cities (Mandalay/Phnom Penh) for the development of national as well as city-level Holistic Waste Management Strategies and Action Plans, and for implementation of pilot projects. • Providing technical assistance to Maldives towards the development of regional waste management plan in line with existing national strategy (1st Workshop scheduled May 2017). • Additional target countries to be considered in future upon requests from stakeholders. Outreach activities for other cities in the selected countries and expansion of the project to other countries will also be explored.

14. Collaborating Centre: Work Plan (2) ２．Contribution to development of Knowledge-hub and Curriculum for Waste Management Collected data, policy information and technical knowledge gained through above activities will be provided to IETC as the contribution to its Waste Management Knowledge-hub.Centre will provide case study materials for the curriculum IETC plans to develop in collaboration with Kyoto University, Asian Institute of Technology (Thailand), Tongji University (China), TERI University (India), and University of New South Wales (Australia). The Centre will also conduct workshops.

15. Collaborating Centre: Work Plan (3) ３．Supporting IETC’s Outreach In order to support IETC’s outreach effort to relevant stakeholders in Japan, the Centre will provide assistance through organizing its own event(s) in Japan, setting-up exhibition booth in relevant events, engage in publicity, organizing websites, and providing Japanese contents. The Agreement between UNEPand IGES stipulates that CCET can also engage in projects partly or entirely financed by external funding, in addition to the projects mandated by the above Project Cooperation Agreement (PCA). The Center will also seek the possibility of conducting projects financed by government agencies, development assistance institutions, international organizations and private parties.
