Title Life in the Urban Landscape (1): Waste as a source of energy to combat climate change Day / Time Monday, June 19th / 16:30 - 18:30 Room Oceanview 3/4 Event Description Waste as a aource of Energy to combat Climate Change will focus on the links between energy, waste management and climate change. We all know that, in theory, urban waste may be a source materials and energy. And recently, we have seen energy and materials increase in value. Still, urban waste is often littering, polluting, contaminating, and releasing greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Waste management is an economic as well as planning problem to most urban administrations. But some have managed to utilize waste. Some have been able to save valuable fossil fuels, reduce climate change and generate income. During this event I hope we can learn about the cultural, social, economic and technical conditions when waste is not only wasted.
