14 Nov 2022 --- The Egyptian government is launching a global waste initiative dubbed “50 by 2050” that aims to ensure at least half of all African waste is treated and recycled before 2050. Announced at the COP27 climate summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, proponents say the ambitious targets could reduce the “waste colonialism” plaguing African countries. The Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA) held a press conference with Friends of the Earth Nigeria to provide civil society’s perspective on the goals.
