and global theory of waste and development. It builds on the Integrated Sustainable Waste Management (ISWM) analytical framework to help characterise Waste and Resources Management (WaRM) systems in cities and countries.\u00a0<br \/>The early DBs reflect stepwise improvement towards the new baseline of meeting the SDG 11.6.1 indicators of universal collection and management in controlled facilities (DB5); while later DBs represent two prevailing routes to move towards environmentally sound management and the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). An aspirational DB Zero sits above all 9 DBs, accessible via multiple pathways, posing an ultimate challenge for development practice.\u00a0<br \/>The 9DBs contextualise the challenge of meeting the waste-related SDGs, in particular for developing countries striving towards SDG 11.6.1 but also for all countries aspiring to a circular economy.\u00a0<br \/>Whether you are a practitioner, decision-maker, service provider, or sector activist, the 9DBs will help you to identify the key pressure points for catalysing change, and focus your time and resources on achieving maximum impact.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element
