Our first thematic webinar will centre on the results collected through Bio4HUMAN Humanitarian Needs Assessment Report. The report was led by People in Need, with significant collaboration from Polish Humanitarian Action.The Humanitarian Needs Assessment Report compiles qualitative and quantitative data collected from humanitarian stakeholders who responded to our surveys. Its findings focus on the types of waste present in humanitarian settings, solid waste management (SWM) standards and sustainable models, and the current state of SWM in these settings. The report also presents the main challenges related to SWM in humanitarian settings and opportunities, including the potential use of bio-based solutions, the identification of which is the ultimate goal of our project.
