This episode was recorded during the virtual Meeting titled “Reducing Methane Emissions: A Legislative Agenda” organized by the ParlAmericas Green Economy Caucus and the Andean Parliament.
During the session, Federico Parra, Social and Solidarity Economy Specialist at Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing & Organizing (WIEGO), discusses the valuable role waste pickers play in reducing methane emissions by diverting waste from landfills and outlines WIEGO’s initiatives to support their work.
In particular, Federico introduces the GHG calculator developed by WIEGO, which quantifies the emissions reductions achieved by waste pickers at various stages of waste management. He also shares recommendations on how parliaments can support the recognition and formalization of these workers, fostering collaborations to improve their working conditions and compensation for a mutually beneficial outcome.
