The World Bank's approval of a $250M program to enhance Morocco’s municipal solid waste management system offers several climate-related benefits.
1. Improved waste management systems can significantly reduce methane emissions from poorly managed landfills, a potent greenhouse gas contributing to global warming.
2. By enhancing recycling and waste recovery efforts, the program supports resource efficiency, reducing the need for raw material extraction and its associated environmental impacts.
3. Properly managed solid waste systems reduce the risk of waste blockages that can exacerbate flooding during extreme weather events, a growing concern with climate change.
4. Enhanced waste management reduces open burning of waste, a practice that emits harmful pollutants and contributes to climate change.
By addressing the critical issue of solid waste, this program not only tackles immediate environmental challenges but also positions Morocco as a leader in integrating waste management with climate resilience strategies.

Hi, Grace Njeri. Thanks for posting a climate review on our platform. However, this review should not be directed to World Health Organization, but to a company or an organization that needs to be aware of this, like the World Bank. The idea behind our climate reviews is to make companies and organizations aware that they could (and should) do better. If enough people agree to your review, we will contact the company and ask them to join the climate dialogue. Read more here: https://www.wedonthavetime.org/our-community#guide

This is a good approach of being able to control emissions. I hope the money will go into developing new wastage control systems rather than being directed to other things.
