A good solid waste management system is like good health: if you are lucky to have it, you don’t notice it; it is just how things are, and you take it for granted. On the other hand, if things go wrong, it is a big and urgent problem and every- thing else seems less important. Managing solid waste well and affordably is one of the key challenges of the 21st century, and one of the key responsibilities of a city government. It may not be the biggest vote-winner, but it has the capacity to become a full-scale crisis, and a definite vote-loser, if things go wrong. This note to decision-makers introduces UN-Habitat’s Third Global Report on Water and Sanitation in the World’s Cities: Solid Waste Management in the World’s Cities. A unique feature of the book is that it is based on new information, collected in a standardized format, from 20 reference cities around the world.
