Poor waste management practices in the Global South is leading to open burning of waste, having dire consequences for human health and the environment globally. In this panel, we discuss how better waste management practices can be delivered in developing countries, explore the true impact open burning is having on climate change, and what changes need to be made - by both government and the private sector - to reduce plastic waste globally.
