The Climate & Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) has launched proposals to Increase mitigation in the Maldives’s waste sector.
This project responds to a request by the Maldives’ Ministry of Environment to overcome the existing data limitations in the waste sector for informed decision-making and to assess the SLCP emissions from the waste sector.
Funding Information
Estimated project cost: USD 70,000
Expected Outcomes
The government of Maldives has methodologies and standards to collect data from the waste sector that will lead to better GHG inventory from the waste sector.
The government of Maldives has local GHG emissions factors from the waste sector that would improve the GHG emissions for future reporting under the UNFCCC on Maldives’ NDC implementation.
The government of Maldives has improved data to understand the waste sector SLCP emissions and to implement the recommended mitigation measures
Outputs
The project should deliver at a minimum:
Development of data collection methodologies and standards.
Development of emission factors in the local context regarding waste GHG emissions in the Maldives.
SLCP emission analysis for the waste sector, with a specific interest in island communities’ waste management to inform tailored mitigation measures, including assessment of methane emissions from waste treatment and disposal facilities in the Maldives
