Member Muse
The Air & Waste Management Association has official observer status for the UN Conference of the Parties on Climate Change, the supreme decision making body for the United Nations Framework on Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC). The COP is tasked with reviewing communications and emission inventories and assessing the effects of the measures taken and the progress made in achieving the ultimate objective of the Convention.
COP runs from October 31 through November 12 and two of our members will be attending and providing updates and insights on this international event. Mike DeBusschere will be attending virtually the first week to view the available content online and Brian Bunger, A&WMA Past-president, will be traveling to Glasgow, Scotland to attend the second week of sessions, events, and exhibits at COP 26. They will be providing updates and insights to the membership through blog posts, pictures, and videos. Blog entries can be found in the Industry Insight section, or on the COP web page.
