Description: Decreasing and properly managing solid wastes are priorities for many countries. These priorities are also reflected in the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which call for substantially reducing waste generation through preventionreductionrecycling and reuseas well as for proper management of all kinds of waste. Solid wastes can have a negative impact on well-being. Data on solid waste generation and management by different actors in the economy are necessary to inform policies not only for the management of wastebut also policies related to circular economyresource use and ecosystems. This short course focuses on solid waste statistics and accounts. The solid waste accounts are based on the System for Environmental-Economic Accounting-Central Framework (SEEA-CF).

Description: The course will enhance the theoretical and practical knowledge of waste statistics validation approaches. The main focus will be on validation routines, looking at strengths and weaknesses in the chosen approaches and possibilities for shared responsibilities between countries and Eurostat. The course will explore possible ways of avoiding duplication of validation routines and in waste statistics and means of obtaining more effective statistics.
Target Audience: Staff members involved in the production of official waste statistics, advanced level.
Description: Solid waste management is an important aspect of sustainable development of tourism at destination level. Inappropriate and inefficient use of resources, contamination problems are only some of the aspects that cause much larger negative impacts in destinations and underline the need for timely and regular monitoring of solid waste management. While waste audits show how much and what kind of waste there is, where it is generated and where it ends up (e.g., in landfills, composting plants, incinerators, etc.) they also allow to assess tourism's share in solid waste production. It also helps to stimulate circular economy processes by identifying where waste reduction at the source is most practicable and effective. There are several indicators that allow destinations to monitor, inter alia, trends in solid waste production and recycling, the development of waste services and the perception of the cleanliness of a destination. This sixth INSTO Insights webinar will discuss the experiences of selected experts and INSTO Members in measuring solid waste management at the destination level. Solid waste management is one of the 11 key issue areas INSTO Members have to monitor and manage. Experiences will be shared on used indicators and various methodologies in this regard. The implications of these monitoring efforts in terms of informing policies and strategies will also be discussed.
