Copenhagen, Friday, December 5, 2009 – The second largest
delegation to attend
the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP 15) United Nations Climate
Summit in
Copenhagen is the city and local government
delegation.
The LG Action project (‘Networking action to involve Local Governments in the EU and international energy and climate debate’), in which ACR+ is a partner, helped to gather input from local governments in Europe, to identify their needs, challenges and interests in terms of energy and climate action.
From 21st to 29th November, a great variety of actions organised by public administrations, businesses, associations, schools, etc., took place across Europe in order to raise awareness about waste prevention.
A great success for this first edition of the European Week for Waste Reduction, which is being organized in the framework of a project co-funded by the European Commission.

After several years of studies and data gathering, ACR+ has just published an analysis of European waste prevention and recycling issues. The study includes, in particular, data on the various waste management models in the 27 European capitals. The book, published by Victoires Editions with the support of ACR+ Member SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT/SITA, brings together Europe’s waste management policies and outlines the challenges which public authorities need to address.
