Urban October | Perceptions and Systems of Urban Waste

This webinar took place as part of the GIZ Urban October. 

Perceptions and systems of urban waste and its prevention through circular approaches were addressed on different levels - individual/ societal, municipal, economical/commercial and governmental, asking the questions: How can behavioral aspects support a circular economy transition beyond awareness campaigns? What are methods that work? How should responsibilities be defined?
