About WasteMAP
The Waste Methane Assessment Platform, or WasteMAP, was created by RMI and Clean Air Task Force, with funding from the Global Methane Hub, to improve waste methane emissions transparency, and to highlight mitigation opportunities and best practices to reduce solid waste methane emissions.
By locating and quantifying sources of waste methane emissions, integrating data into a powerful and easy to use model for comparing different mitigation options, and providing resources for implementing mitigation strategies, WasteMAP gives policy makers and waste managers a unique tool to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets like the Global Methane Pledge.
Data & Methodology
WasteMAP consolidates modeled and reported waste data and methane emissions data from Carbon Mapper, Climate TRACE, EDGAR, RMI, SRON, UNFCCC, UN-Habitat, and the World Bank. You can learn more on the data and methodologies page.
