Waste and Circular Economy

20% of human-caused methane emissions come from organic waste. Estimates indicate that to implement all methane reduction requirements to reach a global net-zero scenario by 2030, we need $20.4B in the waste sector annually.

Grantee Spotlights

WasteMAP (RMI & Clean Air Task Force)

Global

An open platform on methane emissions and best practices in the waste sector including a heat map of emissions, a strategy playbook, case studies, and tools and resources globally available.

“With GMH’s support, CATF has been able to directly engage with governments across Latin America and empower them with data, tools, and resources in their waste systems through WasteMAP.”

Global FoodBanking Network

Global

Methodology and technologies to improve data traceability for measuring methane mitigation achieved by food banks + analysis of policy opportunities to foster food redistribution and an economic assessment of food banks’ financial models. Pilot: Ecuador and Mexico (next countries: Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Vietnam and Thailand)

“Special thanks to GMH for their commitment to a holistic approach to addressing climate change and food insecurity.”

Global Green Growth Institute

Africa

Methane reduction initiatives in north and west Africa including the development of enabling policies and regulations for methane reduction (Morocco), developing tools for the tracking of methane emissions from waste (Cote d’Ivoire), and identifying methane reduction investment projects (Senegal).

“With support from the Global Methane Hub, the Global Green Growth Institute is developing interventions in north and west Africa in 3 key areas: policy, data, and investment.”

Reciclo Organicos (The Center for Clean Air Policy & Implementa Sur) & Instituto Polis

Latin America

A project preparation facility to provide technical and financial support to accelerate the implementation of projects, advance policy frameworks, and increase capacities and knowledge exchange in Latin America and the Caribbean.

“GMH was essential to expanding our work, helping municipal organic waste recycling and reduction to become mainstream in Brazil.”
