Delineation of greenhouse gas emission reduction targets from Philippine waste sector legislation to support Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA)

The mitigation of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from waste management can contribute to combat climate change where national and local governments play major roles.The adoption of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) as anchor program may stimulate the development of relevant action plans. In the Philippines, as in other developing countries, many municipalities struggle to upgrade their solid waste management (SWM) system due to limited budgets and lack of expertise in operating efficient technologies.

Uncontrolled or poorly managed dumpsites remain as the primary means of waste disposal, whereas segregation, recovery and processing of materials out of the waste stream remain low especially for organic waste. With mixed waste disposal sites as a primary source of methane emissions, the waste sector has a huge potential to reduce GHG emissions considering the inevitable future increase in waste generation from urbanization. A NAMA system is thus being considered to facilitate capacity building, technology transfer and innovative financing measures to re-vitalize sectoral initiatives. The Philippines has not agreed upon voluntary mitigation targets so far, but it is anticipated that the country’s national contributions will emanate from a collective analysis of the priorities of each sector. The authors propose to delineate 'proxy�-mitigation targets based on the legal prescriptions of the waste management sector and as a basis to develop a sectoral NAMA. The paper presents approaches on how to translate sectoral objectives and related national development goals into GHG mitigation targets based on existing legal prescriptions. The results of this study may be useful in the Philippines but could also serve as an input for the development of waste related NAMAs in other developing countries.
