Book synopsis

When people hear about environmental management, most§of them think of planting trees, monitoring§endangered species, global warming issues or§analysing water quality. Indeed, environmental§management has more than that. It includes factors§such as consumption of resources, creation of wastes§and knowledge of properly handling the systems. It is§believed that cities only occupy about 2% of the§worlds land, but there are major consumers of§resources and produce more wastes that return to§nature in the form of pollution. §§Improper Solid Waste Management (SWM) is one aspect§that contributes to pollute the environment; hence§contribute in diseases and the death to the millions§of people. Cities in Africa are rapidly urbanising as§a result have not been able to cope with the rapid§increase of solid wastes. To improve the situation;§municipalities have engaged the private sector as a§partner on SWM. This book therefore, provides skills§for the sustainability of the private sector in SWM,§sheds some light and exciting approach and should be§especially useful to professionals in environmental§management, practitioners, governments, local§authorities, private sector and academicians.
