The Zero Waste Learning Hub works with cities and countries to advance circular economy approaches and sustainable waste management systems. Our work focuses on supporting policy development and designing solutions that reduce waste generation, improve materials recovery, and promote more efficient resource use.
As part of the GEF-funded Shifting to Zero Waste Against Pollution (SWAP) initiative, the Hub is currently working with the five cities of Tianjin, China; Montevideo, Uruguay; Freetown, Sierra Leone; Kocaeli, Türkiye; and Tunis, Tunisia. In each location, activities focus on strengthening governance, supporting city strategies, and developing initiatives that demonstrate how circular approaches can be implemented in practice.
