In September 2022, the GLC-led WREC project launched a baseline survey to explore the level of awareness of humanitarian partners on the key areas of: circular economy, reverse logistics, greenhouse gas emissions, waste management and environmentally sustainable procurement. You will find the main findings of the survey in this infographics: for additional information, kindly get in touch with the WREC (global.WREC@wfp.org).
