Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Pakistan''s waste sector are expected to increase substantially in the coming years given rapid population growth and urbanization. Yet, no related mitigation actions have so far been suggested in the country’s NDC. More accurate emissions estimates and prompt mitigation actions for the sector are urgently needed. The brief gives an overview of waste management in Pakistan, the data currently available for the compilation of emissions estimates, and proposed ways forward.
