Leaders and cities call on COP31 to stop funding waste incineration

Original: Regional Leaders, Waste Workers, and Cities Urge COP31 Negotiators to Defund Incineration and Finance Community-Led Meth

Regional leaders, waste workers and city representatives are urging negotiators at COP31 to redirect climate finance away from waste incineration and instead fund community-led methane reduction solutions. The coalition argues that burning waste undermines emissions goals and that decentralised, locally managed methane projects offer a more effective and equitable path, calling on governments to reflect this in the summit's finance decisions.

Why now: Climate finance and methane commitments are central issues being negotiated at COP31.
