As part of regional efforts to move towards achieving a zero-waste Caribbean while coming up with solutions to drive the circular economy, Caribbean ministers of government and senior officials in the sector, wrapped up their 8th High-Level Forum (HLF) held under the theme, “Strengthening Regional Action Toward a Zero Waste Caribbean.”
A release yesterday from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) explained that the forum served as a platform for critical discussions on financing circular economy solutions, regional collaboration, and private sector engagement in waste management. Key sessions addressed sustainable financing, private sector involvement, and innovative solutions to drive the circular economy and reduce waste generation across the region.
The event was organised by the Caribbean Water and Wastewater Association (CWWA), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Ministry of Public Utilities of Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the World Bank.
