Recycle Organics Rallies Global Partners to Scale Methane Action

National and local representatives, technical experts and global partners came together in Brazil to chart the next phase of waste-sector climate action


Waste Management Brazil

As the new year begins, attention is shifting toward actions that can deliver near-term climate benefits. Reducing powerful greenhouse gases like methane offers a critical opportunity for quick and meaningful mitigation, particularly by moving beyond pledges to practical solutions in high-impact sectors like waste. 


While nearly 160 countries have signed the Global Methane Pledge, few have moved beyond commitments to implement sector-specific solutions. The message remains clear: with the world now on course to exceed the 1.5°C limit, underrepresented sectors such as waste must move higher on the climate agenda. Addressing waste is still one of the most overlooked opportunities to deliver rapid, cost-effective climate benefits, especially in countries across the Global South where organic waste makes up most of the municipal solid waste stream. 


Against this backdrop, Recycle Organics (RO) convened national and local representatives, technical experts and global partners in Florianópolis, Brazil, for a regional workshop focused on advancing methane mitigation in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) through organic waste solutions.



The event, co-led by CCAP and ImplementaSur with support from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), brought together leaders from the program’s current beneficiary island nations it supports, including Belize, Fiji, Grenada, Guyana, Saint Lucia and Samoa. The workshop served both as an opportunity to celebrate nearly four years of progress across these countries and as a forum to chart the path forward. 

Here are some examples of the Program’s impact so far: 

  • A total of nine policy and planning instruments for organic waste have been developed, including four designed for subnational governments in Belize. In Fiji, these instruments informed the development and quantification of methane-specific targets under the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 3.0, with support from the RO Program. 

  • The Program will provide 3,100 composting kits to individuals and schools by the end of 2026, further empowering communities. 

  • +3,000 people have already benefited from capacity-building events, attending international workshops, webinars and training sessions. 

  • Educational networks continue to foster valuable knowledge exchange by connecting a diverse range of stakeholders in each country. Examples include a hospitality-sector network with 22 hotels from 12 countries actively participating, and a municipal government network in Belize, where all towns and cities have joined and four have received direct support to develop local organic waste management plans.

One of the biggest advantages of geometry dash lite is its availability. It’s free to download on both Android and iOS platforms, making it accessible to a broad audience. Its lightweight design also means it runs smoothly on devices with limited hardware, without compromising the quality of gameplay.

It was interesting to read how Recycle Organics is rallying global partners to tackle methane emissions, especially the part about creating scalable solutions for different regions. It made me think about how much planning and coordination goes into implementing something that has real-world impact, which reminds me a bit of the problem-solving mindset you need when doing Civil Engineering Assignment Help Online. I wonder how they measure the effectiveness across such varied locations and if the strategies adapt over time as new data comes in. It’s fascinating to see environmental initiatives treated almost like complex projects that need careful design and continuous monitoring.

Geometry Dash Lite is an addictive rhythm-based platformer. The cube runs forward automatically through dangerous paths. Players must avoid spikes and traps by jumping. The fast pace leaves little room for error. Neon graphics make each level stand out. The soundtrack keeps energy levels high.

Snow Rider 3D is an exciting endless runner game where players ride a sled down a snowy track filled with obstacles and challenges. The goal is to travel as far as possible while collecting gifts and avoiding crashes. Although the game may seem simple at first, mastering it requires snowrider skill, focus, and smart strategies.
