Collaboration between ISWA and COP

September 25, 2024

The International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) has been active in the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP) Climate Change Conference. ISWA seeks to engage and influence key decision-makers worldwide to make it clear that sustainable waste management is an essential investment for reducing emissions.

ISWA has secured a pavilion in the Green Zone at COP29 which will take place November 11-22, 2024. This space will feature:

  • Daily awareness-raising sessions linking waste/resource management and climate change
  • Bilateral meetings with delegates and partner organizations
  • Receptions focused on waste and resources
  • Presentation sessions featuring inspiring case studies, innovative technical solutions, and successful policy interventions

Leading up to COP 29, ISWA will partner with organizations to execute a joint communication strategy, reaching a vast network of global stakeholders through ISWA social media and digital channels, Waste Management World magazine, communication channels of partner organizations, press releases opportunities, and media interviews.  

In addition, the campaign will be supported with engagement activities at important events leading up to the conference such as IFAT India (10,000 audience reach), ISWA World Congress (1,200 audience reach), Ecomondo (100,000 audience reach) and ISWA Beacon Conference (300 audience reach). A post COP communication campaign will also disseminate the messages and results in different regions of the world through ISWA partners and regional chapters.
