In discussion: Voluntary Contributions or Crowd-Funding for Waste Projects?

Degradation of organic waste in landfills turns the waste sector the third largest anthropogenic emitter of methane. Methane abatement can help to achieve the climate goals of the Paris Agreement and has positive near-term effects. Measures for mitigation by waste management are state-of-the-art and readily implementable. Yet, access to funding remains an issue. Hugh Salway, Head of Environmental Markets, joins a discussion on what are the possibilities and/or barriers of using voluntary compensations or crowd-funding to help finance methane mitigation or waste projects. Moderation by Anja Schwetje, German Environment Agency
