New tool to help cities quantify greenhouse gas emissions from food waste
WRI India has launched a new tool designed to help cities and businesses quantify greenhouse gas emissions from food waste management. The tool tracks emissions across the entire waste chain, from collection to disposal, to help identify reduction opportunities.
Why it matters
As India's municipal solid waste is projected to grow significantly by 2050, this tool provides a necessary framework for tracking climate impacts in a sector that currently lacks standardized emission reporting.
As India grapples with rising food waste and the subsequent increase in greenhouse gas emissions, WRI India (World Resources Institute India) has developed a tool that enables cities, businesses, and residential communities to estimate emissions generated across the food waste management chain and identify opportunities to reduce them.
The article provides a factual report on a technical tool release without political or ideological framing.
