We must reduce the amount of waste we produce, and, at the same time, start seeing it as a valuable resource that can be re-used and recycled, including for energy,” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
UN-Habitat makes plain the need to plan urban communities so as to dodge the chaotic development of urban spreads and all the related issues that are made as a result.
