@General_Oluchi There are a lot of indigenous waste management solutions that date back centuries in Africa. Take, for instance, the use of leafs as plates or packaging. Albeit technology has to evolve, but sustainably. I believe mainstreaming the #circulareconomy is a great way to start.

Water is not an infinite resource.

We need to stop taking it for granted.

Let’s use this resource sustainably!

Higher temperatures are making it harder to produce food.

Also, for vulnerable rural communities, failed harvest seasons can mean meagre earnings and empty plates.

If we don't support them and #ActOnClimate today, we let hunger win.

Waste aggravates:

-the climate crisis
-nature and biodiversity loss
-pollution

Waste comes in all forms but solutions and technology exist to put a stop to it.

Waste crime is a major threat to the environment and human health, while also undermining economic development.

Joint report from @UNEP and @UNODC sheds light on how criminals exploit legal loopholes to financially benefit from illicit waste shipments. https://t.co/u9tow7TQX3
