Current issues in waste management in hot climate conditions

Abstract The article discusses current issues of waste management in the hot climate of Central Asia. It notes that the development of industry, construction boom, rapid motorization, diversification and growth of agricultural production, combined with a hot climate, along with population growth and its migration to cities, affect the waste situation. At the same time, the region is becoming familiar with the concept of the “green” economy and welcomes the adoption of global experience, modern technologies, and progressive thinking. It emphasizes that waste management is a “complex system” consisting of interconnected parts, each of which can be both a driver and a barrier.
