55% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from raw material extraction and processing, while millions of workers remain in vulnerable and informal waste systems.

A just circular economy must ensure inclusion, decent work, and resilient communities.

At Zero Waste Forum, we come together to turn these challenges into practical climate action and circular solutions.

Global waste generation is projected to rise from 2.3 to 3.8 billion tonnes by 2050, with food waste and plastics already driving significant global emissions.

Responding to the waste and climate crisis requires stronger collaboration across governments, cities, businesses, finance, academia, and civil society to scale circular and zero waste solutions.

At Zero Waste Forum, we come together to turn ambition into practical climate action and systemic change.
