Thematic Cities Cluster
Waste Management, Green Cities & Renewable Energy


During the process of facilitating exchanges and pilot projects, the Cities Project has perceived substantial needs for developing cities in improving their waste management. Therefore, the Cities Project will continue facilitating the exchanges and knowledge transfer between city partners and organizations and hopes to broker more partnerships between partners.
The Cities Project welcomes city partners interested in participating in this Cities Cluster on Waste Management, Green City and Renewable Energy and hopes the knowledge exchanged here leads to more South-South cooperation and a swift post-pandemic social and economic recovery.
