ABSTRACT

This Global Report was written in a cyclical manner. UN-Habitat required an early output, and asked the authors to prepare a prepublication version of the book, summarizing the key messages for decision-makers responsible for a city’s solid waste management system. That document was prepared before the results of our research in the 20 cities were available. So, in this final chapter of the report, the editors have taken the opportunity to take a step back and to reflect on what we have learned from the cities, and how that has changed or refocused our key messages. Leachate treatment systems form one of the key elements for upgrading landfill practices, Ghorahi, Nepal https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781849774871/3b574a06-830e-4e65-9935-94140120732c/content/pg203_C.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> © Bhushan Tuladhar
