- 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.
