Title:

A Just Transition Outlook for the Waste Sector in Nigeria

Category:

Environment

The report "a Just Transition Outlook for the Waste Sector in Nigeria " is  a landmark policy-support document that offers a comprehensive and inclusive roadmap toward sustainable waste management in Nigeria.

At the heart of this publication lies the principle of justice and equity that ensures that Nigeria’s transition to a zero-waste, toxic-free circular economy leaves no one behind. In a nation generating over 32 million tonnes of solid waste annually, the urgency for systemic reform is clear. With plastics making up a significant share of this waste, and with informal waste pickers collecting nearly 60% of municipal waste, this Outlook amplifies grassroots voices and offers solutions rooted in local realities, informed by global best practices.
