Joint Survey on E-Waste - Call for Action

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEPⁱ)/ Secretariat of the Basel Conventionⁱ and the United Nations University (UNU), in collaboration with Solving the E-wasteⁱ Initiative (StEP) and the Center for Environment and Development for the Arab Region and Europe (CEDARE), have launched a joint survey to collect detailed data on e-wasteⁱ management, policies and standards, which can help construct a comprehensive overview of the current e-waste landscape and identify future challenges in this realm.

Such a mapping of the e-waste issue will establish a base upon which the exchange of e-waste information and best practices can occur, and will form a valuable tool in promoting collaborative work in the future.

Fill in the joint survey (Available until 29 February 2012).
