Global Online Training: Dumpsite Remediation and Landfill Management
Only for the Participants from Africa and Asia (except India)
The countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are expected to witness a major economic transition over the coming century as their populations explode, their rural-to-urban migration increases, and their consumption patterns change. All this will contribute to an exponential rise in waste generation, and put a huge strain on natural resources and the already stretched public and private sector services and infrastructure for managing solid waste.
Presently, open dumping is the predominant waste disposal method adopted by SSA countries. The region has 19 of the world’s 50 biggest dumpsites which are leading to enormous environmental and health problems.
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), which has been working on policy and implementation of municipal solid waste (MSW) management at the regional, national and global levels, invites applications for its latest global online course on landfill management and dumpsite remediation.
The objective of the course is to offer state-of-art knowledge in landfill design and operations, technological and policy interventions in dumpsite remediation, and the various challenges in landfill management in developing economies.

As the production of natural gas from shale fields has expanded, so have methane emissions. U.S. methane emissions grew 27 percent from 1990 to 2009, according to the Energy Information Administration. Methane contributes about 10 percent of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and is 25 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
