Key trends are highlighted in the Global Waste Management Outlook 2024, which was co-published by UNEP and ISWA. By 2050, it is predicted that the amount of municipal solid waste will increase from 2.3 to 3.8 billion tonnes. Without prompt action, the projected USD 252 billion global waste management cost in 2020 is expected to nearly double by 2050. Obstacles include gendered aspects, the devaluation of the informal sector, a lack of urgency recognition, incomplete data, and an underestimation of the impact of climate change.
