“A responsible waste production and consumption is key to the achievement of the Global Goals,” according to a declaration by a UN issued on Twitter.
Replying to the declaration, Emine Erdogan declared: "In a short span of time, over 20 First Ladies, ministers, and representatives of international organizations have signed "The Global Commitment to Zero Waste” which we initiated with (Antonio Guterres).
