dc.descriptionThis summary for policy-makers provides a regional overview of waste management trends and challenges, serving as a guide for designing policies and programmes across Latin America and the Caribbean. Prepared in response to ministerial and United Nations mandates, the document analyses regional governance, financing, and data limitations. The methodology involved compiling and analysing information provided by regional countries alongside specific case studies. Key findings reveal steadily increasing municipal waste generation alongside weak institutional operations and inadequate recycling rates, meaning most waste is not utilised. en
