What about waste?
More and more waste becomes a burning topic in countries of the South.
Although the waste topic has partly disappeared from the media in the last few years due to more spectacular environmental topics - just think of Al Gore, who went heavenward on a hoisting platform during his presentations to demonstrate the rapid increase in the CO2 concentration in our atmosphere - it has lost none of its explosiveness.
In our topic we try to examine the problems of the growing amounts of waste in developing countries from various angles. For the first time we therefore highlight a project financed by the KEF within a forum topic. The goal of the KEF project P177 is the development of a user-focused knowledge base for communal waste management in Busia (Uganda). Detailed information about the project can be found in a short description and an interview with Jakob Lederer (Vienna University of Technology). Roland Linzner (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna) also presents a project financed by the KEF, which deals with composting in Guinea, and Antony McMichael presents the influences of the urban environment on people's health.
