ANNOUNCEMENTS
Carbon footprints are being utilised as a strategic policy instrument at the national, regional, and municipal levels to combat climate change. In today's metropolitan areas, the management and disposal of solid waste has become an increasingly pressing issue, especially in developing nations. A city is a microcosm of the world: a stage for business, politics, people, culture, and the environment. Therefore, It is a must to assess Carbon foot print of Municipal Solid Waste which is helpful in climate mitigation measure. Without proper treatment, solid waste disposal has detrimental effects on the climate, general wellbeing, and the worth of the surrounding area. Nagpur, the biggest city in central India, is chosen as a case study since it is the third-largest city in the state of Maharashtra after Mumbai and Pune. The current research makes use of a variety of statutory documents (Acts and Regulations) that specify responsibilities and requirements for the management of India's municipal solid waste. The impact of municipal solid waste's carbon footprint on this project is analyzed by estimating the carbon footprint level and its prevention/recovery plan to reduce carbon foot print has been prepared along with suggestions on improvements to the system for managing solid waste to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and their role in climate change.
