The International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) recently organized a workshop on Disaster Waste Management, which assembled experts and representatives from various municipalities and institutions. The workshop aimed to share knowledge and experiences, as well as to discuss strategies for improving disaster waste management. It was led by Dr. Sophia Ghanimeh, Chair of the Scientific and Technical Committee of ISWA Lebanon. The workshop follows previous work done on disaster waste, including a workshop co-organized with UNEP and ISWA on disaster waste management held in Beirut in November 2023 – for which a handbook is being written and will be published soon.
