In this issue: new IWWG Task Group on Construction and Demolition (C&D), announcement of the 2nd EurAsia Waste Management Symposium, and list of future IWWG events. The IWWG is proud to announce the foundation of the new C&D Task Group, which aims to provide an international platform for C&D waste information exchange and dissemination, research and innovation and practical applications for members and those engaged with the planning, procurement, design, construction, refurbishment and demolition activities in the built environment. Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste production equates to a large amount of carbon emissions that require all sectors of the economy, to a greater or lesser extent, to contribute to its reduction. The development and implementation of innovative and effective C&D waste management solutions will affect the contribution that waste management as a whole makes to climate change.
