REPORT LAUNCH: “From waste to resolution: Assessing the impact of armed conflict on the solid waste sector in Yemen”
02/09/2025
Join the European Institute of Peace and PAX for the online launch of our joint report “From waste to resolution: Assessing the impact of armed conflict on the solid waste sector in Yemen,” which provides insight into Yemen’s waste management crisis and its impact on public health, ecosystems, and long-term stability.
The webinar will present the findings from an extensive assessment of Yemen’s solid waste sector amid the conflict, drawing from geospatial mapping and policy analysis. It will explore the drivers and consequences of uncontrolled dumping and waste accumulation, as well as entry points to address them as a contribution to peacemaking, conflict prevention, and stabilisation.
The launch will take place in an online webinar on Wednesday, 10 September, from 15:00 to 16:30. The full report will be available online immediately after the event.
