Abstract
This report evaluates the national climate commitments— known as Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs— made by signatory countries to the Paris Agreement on their goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the waste sector. It further enumerates the ways in which waste reduction and sustainable management are essential to countries' greenhouse gas reduction strategies to meet the global 1.5 degree target outlined in the Paris Agreement.
