The document discusses the social benefits of moving towards a circular economy. It notes that a circular economy could address social challenges like jobs, poverty, and inequality by creating new employment opportunities through labor-intensive reuse, repair, recycling, and services. Studies show a circular economy could reduce carbon emissions by 2/3 and create many local, decentralized jobs while boosting local economies and improving standards of living through increased disposable income and wealth creation. A circular economy also promotes social cohesion through sharing economies and improved environmental quality. While some new jobs may be in waste management, a focus on both human and artificial intelligence could help ensure high quality employment.
The OECD Blue Cities Project aims to build a sustainable blue economy in cities through an integrated risk-informed and climate-smart (RISC-proof) approach. Coastal cities face risks from sea level rise and water pollution that threaten jobs and economic growth reliant on ocean resources. The traditional approach to the blue economy lacks a local perspective. The project will take a systemic, territorial approach linking water management to local economic development and climate change adaptation through good water governance, sharing knowledge between cities, and measuring project outcomes over multiple phases of research, implementation and result sharing by 2023.

This document discusses land use policies for green growth. It notes that land and property make up the largest share of capital in most countries. There are significant differences in the amount of developed land per capita across urban areas in OECD countries. While developed land is growing everywhere, land use per capita is declining in many places. Restrictive land use policies can contribute to rising housing costs if insufficient land is available for new construction. Examples of land use policies from Amsterdam aim to increase density, transform mono-functional areas, and prepare for a low-carbon future. Fiscal and tax systems also influence land use decisions and need better alignment with land use objectives.
In April 2016, Haïti Priorise held its eleventh sector expert roundtable to discuss the best solutions for fiscal management and resource mobilization. Roundtable participants were asked to identify the strengths and weaknesses of current policy efforts and to propose actions they think should be prioritized as a means to improve fiscal management and resource mobilization in Haiti.
The document discusses enabling more sustainable cities through promoting sharing economies and one planet lifestyles. It provides examples of how cities can integrate sharing initiatives in areas like transportation, food, goods, housing and working. Partnerships between cities, businesses, and citizens are important to enhance sharing opportunities. A pathway is outlined that involves assessing status quo, mapping opportunities, visioning a one planet city, setting targets, stakeholder involvement, and evaluating impacts. The goal is to catalyze sustainable lifestyles and systems through city-level initiatives that create value rather than just mitigate risks.

The document summarizes key points from an OECD survey on circular economies in cities and regions. It finds that while most cities and regions have emerging or in-progress circular economy initiatives, fully adopting circular economies requires a holistic and systemic approach across all sectors of cities. Common tools used by cities include pilots and experimentations, capacity building, sustainable public procurement, and dedicated budgets. Top priorities for cities include overcoming obstacles to transitioning and further developing circular economy plans and policies over the long term through the OECD's circular economy program.
International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI)OECD CFE
This document discusses the circular economy in cities and regions. It notes that a circular economy can benefit society through better resource use, businesses through new markets and cost savings, and the public sector through meeting policy goals and cost efficiency. A circular economy involves activities across the whole value chain from collection and separation to reuse, repair, reprocessing, extraction, and disposal. It notes that national approaches often lack pilots and specific initiatives. Barriers include awareness, resources, and competing demands on cities. The document recommends starting small, finding champions, piloting projects, working with the private sector, and monitoring progress to embed circular approaches over the long term.

This document discusses water issues and policy in Europe. It notes that water is an essential but unevenly distributed resource that is managed locally. The EU has developed a legal framework for water management through various directives since the 1970s, culminating in the 2000 Water Framework Directive which established an integrated approach. However, implementation of the directive's goals has faced challenges. The 2012 review concluded that partnership between sectors is needed to make progress on water management issues which require innovation in governance, infrastructure, and knowledge. Open questions remain about balancing economic and environmental needs around water resources.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
1. Empowering local authorities to build up a response
Enabel gives a high priority to support African secondary cities with municipal
waste issues and partners with them to design and implement waste
management models in response to their needs. In this context, emphasis is
placed on the following aspects:
•
Allocate responsibilities and tasks: Enabel believes that municipal waste is
a very complex matter that requires strong organisational capacities from
local actors to create and operate municipal waste management systems.
Enabel holds valuable experience in coaching local authorities in building
their own system according to the specific situation and engaging their
stakeholders in the process. Enabel can also assist local authorities to
implement a monitoring system and elaborate indicators.
•
Facilitate decision-making on infrastructure: Enabel has gained experience
in designing, building and operating waste infrastructures (transfer stations,
sorting facilities and landfills) in several cities both in Africa and Southeast
Asia. Enabel can also mobilise the expertise of public partners who operate
municipal waste systems (collection, sorting, composting, incineration) in
Belgium. These partners can intervene in projects by organising technical
visits of waste installations in Belgium or hosting trainees. They can also
carry out expert missions on site to coach local counterparts, enhance
professional capacities and offer professional network opportunities.
•
Provide professional tools: Waste actors must be able to rely on professional
tools (information systems, geo-tracking, audit schemes, sorting equipment,
etc.). Enabel is committed to work in the field with local partners in order to
better understand the needs for assistance and together elaborate solutions
adapted to local needs and constraints. Training is delivered on site in real
conditions and planned on the long term until the tools are fully mastered.
•
Promote inclusiveness: Waste management is an important component of
the green economy and can lead to economic development and job creation.
Special attention is given to the informal sector which plays a key role in
the collection and sorting of recoverable waste. In this context, Enabel can
mobilise the expertise of local civil society via grant agreements to develop
community initiatives for the green economy.
Solid waste management
in African cities
Municipal waste: an
emerging challenge
for African cities
Even if the volume of solid
waste produced in Africa is still
low in comparison to European
countries, fast-growing African
cities are facing a municipal
waste crisis because of
uncontrolled urban expansion,
changes in consumption patterns
and lack of budget and capacities.
This situation leads to alarming
impacts on public health and the
environment. In this respect,
the growing role of secondary
cities in the national economy
and the general trend toward
decentralisation will not help
them lowering waste impacts,
unless they reorganise their
municipal services as a public
utility with a single focus on
municipal waste. Establishing
such utilities can be an
opportunity for local authorities
and private partners to join forces
and build stronger capacities
to address the municipal waste
challenge. The utility should
be able to take up operational
responsibilities, coordinate with
partners (civil society, informal
workers, private contractors,
regulators, etc.) and optimise the
costs related to waste operations.
Collecting, sorting and grouping
recoverable waste in large
quantity and homogeneous lots
is the goal for these utilities in
order to guarantee regular supply
to downstream actors. From
there, recycling activities will be
able to develop, innovation will
be made easier and new markets
will be created in which a circular
economy can take root.
2. Building blocks for waste management
Building a consistent waste management system requires
the following blocks:
•
A legal framework: Waste management is to
be supported by a comprehensive framework that
determines objectives and guiding principles, organises
the processes for integrated planning, empowers local
authorities, provides rules for taxation, and lays down
the obligations of waste producers and operators.
• Participation: Waste management in cities is a
matter of concern for a wide range of actors and the
population. All of them need to be involved in the
planning process in order to hammer out a robust
consensus amongst all the parties on the waste
management objectives, strategies and operations. This
will result not only in an organisational optimum, but
also in an equitable and well balanced partnership.
•
Information: Policy, planning, monitoring must
be supported by a reliable information system about
the different waste streams at the different stages
(collection, sorting, recycling, landfilling). Data must be
collected, processed and shared amongst all the actors
via an information system that makes proper use of
digital visualisation and data mining tools.
Solid waste management in African cities
•
Waste collection: Waste collection schemes (areas
served, deposit points, type of containers) must be
organised via a master plan and must be updated in
line with the city’s development. Key questions are: Is
the entire territory covered? Is it possible to introduce
separate waste collection? Is waste collection frequent
enough and well organised? Is it adapted to local needs
and culture? Is it affordable for the poor?
•
Financial balance: Waste management costs
(operations, investments) and incomes (fees, taxes,
sorted waste sales) need to be clearly identified and
balanced all over the chain of activities in a long-term
perspective.
•
Green jobs: Setting up new routes for waste recovery
(bio-waste, plastics, cardboard, etc.) creates opportunities
for entrepreneurship and social franchises. This offers
an opportunity for informal workers (especially women
and children) to get access to formal decent jobs.
•
Infrastructure: Optimise the landfill operations in
order to extend the life span and reduce the negative
impacts (leachate, smell, flying plastic, etc.). Anticipate
the need for future infrastructure and make sure that it
is integrated into the land use plans.
Lessons learned
Building on twenty years of experience, Enabel has
identified a set of key success factors for project design
and implementation:
•
Awareness-raising: Most inhabitants in
African cities are unhappy by the fact that waste
is contaminating their surrounding environment
while perceiving the situation as a fatality without
understanding that they have a key role in the process.
They can do so by participating in waste collection
(time and places of deposit, payment of fees) and
sorting system (when it exists). This leads to much
better working conditions for the utility, which can in
turn concentrate its efforts on a better service. Keeping
the streets clean can be a win-win situation but it
requires significant communication, educational and
social engineering investment over a long period.
• Integrated planning: Integrated planning is aimed
at ensuring that all the waste produced on a given
territory can be collected, transported and treated
by the proper infrastructures. All functions must be
fulfilled. In cities, there are several streams of waste,
which vary according to the origin, nature and recovery
patterns. If recovery is to be promoted, integrated
planning must pave the way for the separation of waste
at source and make sure that, downstream, there is
enough treatment capacity and demand for recycled
materials. The entire system must be driven by clear
objectives on the long term and be transposed into
3. Link with climate change
Waste management in cities has an indirect but strong
significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions:
•
Waste collection in cities requires important
transportation in difficult traffic conditions. It can be
even more demanding if separate waste collection
schemes are implemented. Optimising waste collection
according to the volume and nature of waste can
generate significant fuel savings.
•
Waste to energy is an option that makes sense for waste
that is too much soiled or cannot be sorted by available
means. In this case, waste can be used as an alternative
fuel to produce electricity and/or heat. This must be
strictly controlled to guarantee minimal environment
impacts and ensure that it does prevent more valuable
recovery options to occur.
•
Methane from landfills represents 3 to 4% to the
annual global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions
(IPPC 2001). It can be captured and burned. In large
installations, it can also be used as an alternative fuel
that can be brought at the same quality level as fossil
fuels. However, it is only possible with significant
investment and sophisticated know-how.
other planning systems (land use, infrastructure,
human resources).
•
Pooling resources: Since waste management
requires costly infrastructure and specific equipment, it
generally proves to be advantageous for municipalities
to join forces and establish a syndicate even if the
operations are delegated to a private partner. This is
expected to generate economies of scale and significant
accounting improvements.
•
Cost recovery: The collection and sorting of
municipal waste is expensive. These costs can only be
partly compensated by selling products to the recycling
industry. This fact must be clearly acknowledged by
the local authorities. They must secure funding for the
waste utility on the long term. Otherwise operations
may become chaotic and agreements with partners will
be disrupted. On this basis, costs recovery mechanisms
can be elaborated together with the concerned
stakeholders according to the polluter-pays principle.
•
Recycling: Waste recycling is an industrial activity
whether it is labour intensive or not. In addition to
developing a profitable market for the recovered
materials, it is of critical importance for the recycling
industry that a regular and consistent quality supply
of waste is guaranteed on the long term. The informal
sector should also be given a role in this context and,
this way, can be brought back into the formal economy.

Urban Development and Sanitation Programme
in Guinea - SANITA
•
Location: Conakry and Kindia
•
Duration: 2018-2024
• Budget: EU / FED 35.150.000 € (63% for waste)
The project is divided in two parts: road rehabilitation and
municipal waste. Regarding the waste component, the project
feeds in the decentralisation process and supports municipalities
with the organisation of the waste precollection. It provides for
the construction of 30 transit and sorting stations in Conakry and
supporting activities aimed at building stakeholder engagement,
managerial and institutional capacities.
Routes for waste recovery (compost, plastic) are also to be
developed. In parallel, the project also provides support to
the national waste agency which has taken up a new role. It is
now in charge of supervising and regulating the entire system
(precollection, sorting facilities, waste transfer, recovery routes,
landfilling). Special attention is given to elaborate a master plan
for waste management in the Conakry area (eight municipalities)
that will pave the way for the entry into service of new
infrastructures (landfill, transfer stations). All this responds to
the strategy adopted by the Government to enhance waste service
levels during the 2018-2022 period.

Support for integrated waste management - AGID
•
Location: Wilaya (i.e. province) of Mascara, Mostaganem
and Sidi Bel Abbès
•
Duration: 2016-2019
• Budget:
Belgium 11.000.000 €
National counterpart 8.500.000 €
The project was aimed at supporting the transition to a new
waste management scheme that promotes recovery thanks to
industrial facilities for waste sorting and composting. The project
was jointly implemented with the National Waste Agency (NWA),
regional authorities and local actors. It had six priorities:
•
Traceability of waste flows (mainly household) via an
information system shared by the NWA and local services;
•
Diagnostic and organisation of household waste collection
through a geolocation system;
•
Waste sorting facility (20 tons/hour) in each wilaya (based on
one-year waste characterisation campaign);
•
Composting platform (5.000 m²) in each wilaya (including
pilot project and agronomic tests);
•
Support to landfilling operation (volumes estimate, degassing,
leachate control and treatment);
•
Building a network of associations which have developed and
are using a common set of awareness raising tools.

Strengthening and upgrading of the waste
management system of Sikasso - CONFIDES
•
Location: Sikasso
•
Duration: 2002-2017
• Budget:
Belgium 4.900.000 €
National counterpart 865.000 €
Over fifteen years, three projects have supported the local
authorities to develop an integrated waste management system
for the city of Sikasso. A landfill was constructed to ensure safe
waste disposal. Starting from there, a technical department on
waste within the city services was set up and trained. Partnerships
for waste precollection were agreed with private actors. Extensive
consultation was organised in all neighbourhoods to explain
the “in” and “out” of waste management and led to elaborate a
combination of several mechanism for costs recovery. In parallel,
sorting activities were implemented upstream to the landfill. It
has unlocked opportunities to create jobs for informal workers
and to develop routes for waste recovery (the most prominent is
compost that can be used by local farmers).
Vietnam
Improvement of Sanitation in Vietnam
•
Location: Tuy Hoa City, Phu Yen Province
•
Duration: 2006-2010
• Budget:
Belgium 3.464.106 €
National counterpart 660.000 €
Both projects aimed at setting up better and more selective
solid waste collection and processing systems, at increasing
awareness-raising amongst the inhabitants within these fields
and in strengthening the capacities of the local authorities in
both planning and managing solid waste collection systems
and the related infrastructures. To achieve this, a solid waste
management plan was drafted, collection system was improved
and modern landfill constructed in both provinces. At the same
time the projects raised public awareness and asked the public
to share responsibility regarding the use of collection points and
keeping the streets, alleys, and beaches clear from rubbish.
