Decision Support on Waste Methane Mitigation

Model the waste methane mitigation potential of improved waste management practices at the city level. To explore methane mitigation potential at a specific site, use the Site Decision Support Tool.

To begin, select a country and city from the available options, or use the "custom city" option to model any city. We will pre-populate activity data for the cities if we have them in the database. Learn more on how to use WasteMAP. Details about underlying data, models, and assumptions can be found on the data and methodology page.
