Ensuring environmentally sound waste processing
Description
Ensuring environmentally sound waste processing involves implementing systems and technologies that safely manage, treat, and dispose of waste to minimize environmental harm. This strategy prioritizes reducing pollution, preventing hazardous releases, and promoting resource recovery through recycling and safe disposal methods. Key actions include enforcing regulations, adopting best practices, and investing in infrastructure to address issues such as toxic contamination, landfill overflow, and improper waste handling, thereby protecting ecosystems and public health.
Implementation
This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
