Food and waste systems are among the most significant contributors to climate change and climate action plans generally omit the cross-sectoral benefits of composting. This guide outlines how to incorporate community composting into Priority Climate Action Plans. It recommends incorporating compost into enhancing local soils and food production, funding and partnering with local composting operators, and launching outreach campaigns to inform the community about resource conservation.
