Description:
The main objectives of the program are:
-Development of appropriate tools that will allow, to Solid Waste Management Bodies and other stakeholders, the substantial reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions resulting from their Solid Waste Management activities
- Development of appropriate evaluation, monitoring, control, and reporting procedures related to different waste management options and corresponding reductions in GHG emissions
-Evaluation of the possibilities and opportunities of European policy (waste prevention and recycling, energy policy, etc.) and legislation (Waste Framework Directive), to reduce GHG emissions using alternative waste management practices
- Awareness raising, education and dissemination of information on the different options of the EMS and tackling climate change
- Reduction of GHG emissions at local (Eastern Macedonia / Thrace, Western Macedonia, and Chania) and sectoral (waste management) level.
DIADYMA’s role:
DIADYMA developed the Local Action Plan, and contributed to the design and the development of a decision software tool for reducing the GHG emmissions, based on the technlogy and the waste management systems of the region.
