Clean energy and the recovery of energy from waste are essential to building a more sustainable, resource-efficient and resilient future. Renewable energy can reduce dependence on fossil fuels, cut greenhouse gas emissions and support healthier communities, while responsible waste-to-energy solutions can recover value from materials that would otherwise be lost to landfill. Together, these approaches support the circular economy, strengthen energy security and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by advancing climate action, responsible consumption and production, and sustainable communities.
