From Global Discards to Local Struggles: Informal Labor, Waste Flows, and the Politics of Waste Governance in the Philippines
July 30 Wednesday at 7:30 PM Eastern / 6:30 PM Central / 5:30 PM Mountain / 4:30 PM Pacific / 1:30 PM Hawaii / July 31 Thursday at 7:30 AM Philippine Time
Join us for a virtual panel discussion exploring the intersections of informal labor, waste flows, and the politics of waste governance. Focusing on the Philippines, the conversation will examine how gaps in governance are often filled by entrepreneurial and community-led efforts—while critiquing emerging policies that marginalize informal workers and reinforce systemic inequities.
