| Title: | Reducing Global Solid Waste Emissions |
| URL: | http://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg3177 |
| Summary: | Rapidly reducing methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide emissions is necessary to maximize short-term climate benefits and stop the ongoing temperature rise. |
| Highlights: | With our estimated global solid waste generation of 2.56 to 3.33 billion tonnes by 2050, implementing abrupt technical and behavioral changes could result in a net-zero warming solid waste system relative to 2020, leading to 11 to 27 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide warming - equivalent emissions under the temperature limits. |
