Draft National Solid Waste Management Strategy (Kiribati)

Abstract

Waste management is both a threat and an opportunity. Poor waste management can degrade our environment and erode our economy. Just as importantly, it can reduce the communities’ desire to be involved in creating a better Kiribati for our next generation. As we have seen from our recycling program, good waste management can also generate employment and economic activity while cleaning up the islands. Waste is truly a sustainable development issue involving environment, economy and social issues.
