Options like landfill and incineration can be studied to arrive at viable alternate solutions, though we may still feel that that too much waste ends up on landfills or in waste incineration plants. Further developing waste management at a regional as well as an international level towards climate-friendly closed cycle management with even greater resource efficiency will continue to be a priority over the coming years and therefore, advanced significantly.The Waste Management ME Forum will provide us the possibility to exchange points of view concerning the future and, at the same time, aim to mutually benefit from the experience of diverse countries, with the state-of-the-art knowledge of the different technologies in use, as well as the unique challenges that the industry faces today.  Key Advisors:      Dr. Fatemah Al Shatti, Kuwait Petroleum Company, TL –Waste Management      Marwan Rizkallah, UNDP, Project Manager – Jeddah Municipality      Rodney McCulloch, DP World, Regional Manager – Environment      Tamim Buraikan, Saudi Aramco, Environmental Engineering      Bassam S Tawabini, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Asst Professor      Martin Brocklehurst, Environment Agency, Head of Environment      Dr. Noman Fazal Qadir, Dubai World, Former Manager – EnvironmentKey topics:    * Policy, Regulation and Enforcement issues in waste    * Waste Management Initiatives    * Managing Construction Waste    * Waste avoidance and resource management    * Sustainable Waste Management Practices
