The talks in Bonn are meant to pave the way to the key climate conference in Paris in December 2015. At a side event to the Bonn Climate Conference, the Zurich-based South Pole Group presented a paper that they prepared together with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the Bangladesh-based social business enterprise Waste Concern and the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The paper explores the socio-economic benefits of recovering organic waste from municipal waste and using it as a fertiliser. It focuses on three pilot cases in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal in terms of tonnes of CO2 saved, writes South Pole Group in a news release.
One of the aims of the side event was to draw recommendations for the design of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), including the role of government.
