Overview
As part of the activities of the project on Enhancing countries’ capacities for measuring progress on the transition towards a circular economy, the 2025 International Workshop Series on E-waste Statistics is being implemented by UNEP in partnership with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Sustainable Cycles (SCYCLE) Programme. The objective is to support relevant authorities at the national level in developing the technical knowledge and capacities to regularly produce datasets on electronic waste (e-waste). Better data and statistics have a critical role to play in tackling the escalating challenges related to e-waste. This includes through helping to identify opportunities to turn waste into a resource, setting and monitoring progress against public sector targets, and evaluating best practices in policymaking.
