Roadmap for Transformative Action on the Open Burning of Waste in Africa - Prepared as a guide for the implementation of AMCEN Resolution 18/1(b) on eliminating open waste burning from Africa

The unchecked open burning of waste in Africa is harming health, causing premature deaths and accelerating climate change. In 2022, the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) passed a landmark resolution to end the open burning of waste in Africa by 2040 and reduce it by 60% by 2030. To turn this resolution into action, the Africa Roadmap outlines key steps for stakeholders to eliminate the open burning of waste.
