The international exchange platform Connective Cities and its initiators, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the German Association of Cities and Engagement Global
gGmbH / Service Agency Communities in One World, invites municipal practitioners to the Dialogue Event
on Climate protection through circular waste management, to be held in Hamburg, Germany from 27th to 29th November 2017.

The event is geared towards both German and international municipal actors with an interest in and first-hand experience in effective waste management and its positive resulting climate impact. Municipal actors include representatives of municipalities, municipal companies as well as representatives from civil society, academia and business, active in municipal projects in this thematic area.

All participants are expected to engage proactively in the international dialogue by presenting their experience, showcasing examples of good practices in their municipality and/or identifying concrete challenges and needs they face. Connective Cities is organising the event in collaboration with Hamburg’s municipal waste company, Stadtreinigung Hamburg, which plans to share its own experiences on this topic.

The aim of the exchange is to show the possibilities of planning for and implementing contributions to a
more sustainable solid waste management in thematic working groups, to check the regional
applicability of the presented solutions and to discuss the respective challenges. The event in Hamburg
will foster learning among participants through presentation of good practices and project ideas that can
be further communicated and implemented in the respective home communities.
