Uncontrolled littering, recycling, solid waste utilization such as compost from pruning, or household organics for methane and electricity generation are just a few of the common challenges.
Identification of major dumping sites within the buffer zone, removal of the waste and rehabilitation, searching for practical ways to prevent future dumping, research the existing fate of waste streams (household appliances, electronics equipment, plastics, metal, glass, paper etc.) are being promoted.
Let us work together to seize the opportunities of utilizing today's waste into new, innovative products for a cleaner and more sustainable future.
The development of a model that is sustainable for this and future generations offers the best way forward to create a better world, by ending poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Sustainable development and climate action are linked – and both are essential to the present and the future of the humankind. It is, therefore, vital that the international community meet the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There are 17 SDGs which have targets to be achieved by 2030. UN is calling countries - developed and developing - for a global partnership. As the Technical Committee on Environment, we would like to support this call and connect you with the relevant SDGs information below. With just one click you can identify all17 SDG’s and to learn more about their goals and targets.

The water sector is critically important, considering water scarcity on the island. Turkish Cypriot and the Greek Cypriot municipalities of Nicosia are cooperating on wastewater treatment of the city. In addition, actions like the potential use of liquid waste from slaughterhouses as biogas and installation of a system for disposal of animal carcasses and animal by-products can provide new opportunities of cooperation.
By looking wastewater as a raw material rather than as a waste product we can invest to a more sustainable future and ensure the water supply across the island.

The long periods of droughts, replacement of high-water consumption crops with local plants of dry crops such as almond, carob, olive trees, providing water for the expanding domestic and tourism sectors, increased water consumption for agricultural production, groundwater pollution from the use of fertilizers (particularly nitrates), the...
The long periods of droughts, replacement of high-water consumption crops with local plants of dry crops such as almond, carob, olive trees, providing water for the expanding domestic and tourism sectors, increased water consumption for agricultural production, groundwater pollution from the use of fertilizers (particularly nitrates), the overdosing of farming, pesticides and large volumes of animal manures that could be turned from a problem and nuisance into biogas and fertilizer potential are some of the ongoing challenges, while working towards a more sustainable model.
Let’s work together for an island-wide approach identifying opportunities for reuse and identifying and assessing water storage and conveyance alternatives.

Carbon emissions and air pollution related to the large amount of air traffic and industrial plants, along with dust emissions from large quarries lead to poor air quality that threatenth human health.
Minimizing dust emissions and consumption of fossil fuels, renewal of existing rolling stock with energy efficient vehicles, staggered working hours, and the upgrading of public transport, including the reintroduction of a train system are some of the management measures that could be taken to improve the air quality of the island.
Air pollutant emissions, are not neatly confined. They will affect the entire island, and therefore require integrated island-wide solutions. Let’s be a part of the solution, not a part of the pollution.

Unauthorized, uncontrolled, and unsustainable mining, quarrying and construction activities can cause dust pollution, erosion of landscapes, loss of valuable rare habitats and overall ecosystems, as well as ground and water pollution from the large amount of waste products.
Minimizing dust emissions by using correct technical and management measures, recycling waste construction materials, repurpose of unused material from the quarries island-wide as filling material and road infrastructure material preventing thus illegal dumping, sustainable building development, rehabilitation of abandoned mines, management and utilization of mining ore (extraction of copper, gold, rare earths, nickel), investing on sustainable geotourism are some of the measures taken in common sense.
By identifying the common needs and focusing on future collaboration we can work together towards a better natural environment without sacrificing necessary natural resources.
