We’re proud to launch the Roadmap to End Open Burning of Waste in Africa by 2040 — endorsed by all 54 African environment ministers.

Open burning is one of Africa’s the most dangerous pollution sources, especially in informal settlements. Up to 90% of waste is either dumped or openly burned in sub-Saharan Africa.

The Roadmap sets a clear goal to end open burning of waste by 2040, with a 60% reduction target by 2030. It provides practical guidance for national and local governments to take immediate action and create cleaner, more inclusive urban environments.
