Local governments have an important role of providing on-the-ground services to control waste and prevent ocean plastic pollution, but often lack data-driven, up-to-date Solid Waste Management Plans to guide their implementation. Having a robust local Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan is central to being able to effectively manage waste to reduce ocean plastic pollution and advance a local circular economy.

This training will share information on how local governments can develop effective Solid Waste Management Plans and will discuss the critical components of robust plans that can reduce ocean plastics, advance local circular economies, and promote gender equity.

This training is designed to benefit a range of audiences—including but not limited to national and local government staff, waste management services and facility operators, and non-governmental organizations. Certification is available for attendees who complete this course. 

This training will be delivered in English, with closed captioning available in Bahasa Indonesian, Filipino, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
