Transforming waste into a livelihood source for climate change resilience. By Hope Mutesi.

Different human activities create waste, but it is the way in which this waste is managed disposed off that still  poses a risk to the environment and worsens already existing climate change impacts like flooding.  According to KCCA, the city is estimated to generate approximately 2,500 tonnes of garbage daily, yet only about 1,200 tonnes are collected by garbage trucks.  The uncollected waste often ends up in inappropriate locations, such as drainage channels, exacerbating the city’s sanitation issues.
