Plastic waste management poses a significant challenge in Libya. The lack of adequate waste management systems adversely affects public health and the environment. In response, UNOPS and UN-Habitat, with funding from the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, are working with communities to reduce plastic waste in three municipalities in Tripoli.
To mark World Cities Day, UNOPS organized a cleanup day in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government, the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation and the Italian Embassy to Libya.
