INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ZERO WASTE 2024 - UNEP Food Waste Index Report 2024 launch.
To mark the second annual International Day of Zero Waste, UNEP will launch its Food Waste Index Report 2024 on 27 March 2024. The report provides the latest global estimates on food waste, occurring at retail and consumer level. Addressing food waste is an important facet of embracing zero waste and tackling the climate crisis.
Objective: UNEP, as custodian of the SDG 12.3 food waste indicator, publishes a triennial report tracking country-level progress to halve food waste by 2030. First published in 2021, the initial report demonstrated that household food waste is a global challenge, not limited to high-income countries. UNEP and report authors WRAP will highlight the report’s findings and recommendations and the panel discussion will explore G20 action to deliver Sustainable Development Goal 12.3.
Date: Wednesday, 27 March 2024 Time: 8:30-9:30 Washington DC / 9:30-10:30 Brasilia / 12:30-13:30 London / 13:30-14:30 Paris / 14:30-15:30 P

Humanity generates an estimated 2.24 billion tons of municipal solid waste annually, of which only 55 per cent is managed in controlled facilities. By 2050, this could rise to 3.88 billion tons per year. The waste sector is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in urban settings and biodiversity loss. Around 931 million tons of food is wasted each year, and up to 37 million tons of plastic waste is expected to enter the ocean annually by 2040.
