The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is a voluntary partnership of governments, intergovernmental organizations, businesses, scientific institutions and civil society organizations committed to improving air quality and protecting the climate through actions to reduce short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). CCAC’s global network includes over 100 state and non-state partners, and hundreds of local actors carrying out activities across economic sectors. One of the non-state partners committed to mitigate SLCPs is The Energy Resources Institute (TERI) in India. TERI’s objective of working with the CCAC-Municipal Waste Initiative (MSWI) is to reduce SLCPs from the solid waste sector and to contribute to the CCAC (Waste Initiative) priorities by developing workplans for two cities in India, East Delhi and Coimbatore, and the creation of a regional city network for Indian cities. This workplan for East Delhi was developed in coordination with the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) with the objective of improving waste management practices in ways that address development priorities and reduce SLCP emissions. This document identifies some of EDMC’s current priorities for improving municipal waste management which also help combat climate change. EDMC is also a part of CCAC Indian city network (http://ccacindia.teriin.org/) and is committed to sharing its experiences with other cities in the network.
