Practical guide for improved organic waste management: climate benefits through the 3Rs in developing Asian countries [1]

In this policy report the authors have compiled and analysed the most recent data on waste generation and the national policies related with waste management and climate change in ten countries in Asia. The study found that many countries in the region are now paying more attention to solid waste management from the perspective of climate change. Some countries are seeking to improve their waste management by employing the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) as a climate change mitigation measure.
