Summer School 2024
Welcome to our Summer School on Sustainable Waste Management, where we will explore the various aspects of managing waste in an integrated, sustainable manner. The course will cover a wide range of topics including: Solid Waste Management, Formal and Informal Sector, Data Generation and Analysis, role of SDG’s, and New Developments.
We will introduce the assessment of waste management systems, considering the policy, institutional, financial, technological, and stakeholder perspectives. This will involve life cycle assessment methods and sustainability indicators with reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Supervised group works will take place to apply the knowledge acquired in the lectures and to bring a practical aspect to the summer school.
The summer school starts with a stakeholder workshop that brings together stakeholders, local authorities and students to learn about the current waste management situation in Accra. During the following days students will be involved in lectures, practical classes and excursions to deepen their knowledge in the aforemetioned topics in an interdisciplinary and multicultural environment.
We are looking forward to an exciting and informative summer school that will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective and sustainable waste management.
