This insightful event designed to help urban leaders, experts and policymakers to make the right sustainable development decisions, is organised by the TheMayor.EU and the European Investment Bank (EIB) in partnership with ICLEI Europe. The event will be especially beneficial to anyone involved in solving challenges of urban development. More specifically – those seeking ways to implement better waste management practices that lead to more fitting utilisation of resources.

The interactive webinar called “Efficient Waste Management in Cities: From Trash to Treasure” will take place on 5 September from 10:00 to 11:00 CEST. Access is free, but registration is required via this link.

It will be packed with helpful knowledge, such as tried and tested practices from European cities, a moderated discussion and a Q&A session. The latter will be local representatives from European administrations with a proven track record in sustainable waste management. A European Investment Bank representative will also outline the funding opportunities for climate-friendly projects, which are available to local governments and businesses.

The debate will be moderated by Nikolai Jacobi, Senior Officer for Energy, Material & Built Infrastructure at ICLEI Europe. Confirmed speakers include Tanya Hristova, Mayor of Gabrovo, Bulgaria and President of Bulgaria's delegation to the European Committee of the Regions; Sonja Witte, Head of Strategy of the Berlin City Sanitation Department; and Krištof Mlakar, Director of JAVNI HOLDING Ljubljana, Slovenia.
