• Horizon 2020 Conference on Municipal Waste Management
  (Marseille, 20 November 2007) - Conference Flyer (pdf, ~4,5 MB)

  Euro-Mediterranean governments aim to tackle the top sources of Mediterranean pollution by the year 2020 through the Horizon 2020 initiative that is built around 4 elements:

  • Projects to reduce the most significant pollution sources focussing on industrial emissions, municipal waste and urban waste water, responsible for up to 80% of pollution in the Mediterranean Sea
  • Capacity-building measures to help neighbouring countries create national environmental administrations that are able to develop and police environmental laws.
  • Using the Commission's Research budget to develop and share knowledge of environmental issues relevant to the Mediterranean.
  • Developing indicators to monitor the success of Horizon 2020.

Organised by the European Commission and taking the key sector of municipal waste and targeting local authorities from the Southern Mediterranean this seminar aims to give practical examples of solutions to tackling this common problem. The conference is organised as part of the "Semaine Economique de la Méditerranée" (http://www.semaine-eco-med.com).
