Waste Sector Inclusion in the Revised Nationally Determined Contributions of Pakistan KEY POINTS • Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the waste sector for Pakistan are expected to increase with the rapid population growth and urbanization. Updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) should provide particular focus on the waste sector by studying its quantity, composition, and disposal methods.• The waste sector has limited data in Pakistan and challenges in improving data management on waste generation and estimating GHG emissions are considerable.• Lessons learned and best practices from the private sector and related donor-funded initiatives highlight sound solid waste management and GHG mitigation strategies.• A streamlined institutional arrangement for the sector is required to bring information together into a sustainable and functional system with defined responsibilities and coordinated participation with stakeholders.
