继2015年全球废物管理展望发布后，联合国环境规划署（联合国环境署）通过其国际环境技术中心，正在制定一系列针对特定区域和专题的废物管理展望，根据发展中国家和发达国家的现行做法提供政策建议和解决方案。《山区废物管理展望》是该系列的第一份报告。山区对废物管理提出了独特的挑战;虽然偏远地区往往与昂贵和困难的废物运输有关，但由于地势陡峭和河流向下游运送废物，废物污染物的潜在影响更大。《展望》表明，山区废物管理是一个全球关注的跨部门问题，值得立即关注。注意到没有“一个解决办法适合所有人”，需要对废物管理进行更具体的区域研究，加强政策和监管框架，提高利益攸关方的参与和认识，以实现山区的可持续废物管理。这份简短的通报概述了《展望》的主要结论，并强调了需要进一步研究的方面。这些废物按废物来源分类：山区社区、旅游业和采矿业。还介绍了废物犯罪、塑料污染以及自然灾害与废物之间的联系等问题。
Following the release of the global waste management outlook in 2015, the United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment), through its International Environmental Technology Centre, is elaborating a series of region-specific and thematic waste management outlooks that provide policy recommendations and solutions based on current practices in developing and developed countries. The Waste Management Outlook for Mountain Regions is the first report in this series. Mountain regions present unique challenges to waste management; while remoteness is often associated with costly and difficult transport of waste, the potential impact of waste pollutants is higher owing to the steep terrain and rivers transporting waste downstream. The Outlook shows that waste management in mountain regions is a cross-sectoral issue of global concern that deserves immediate attention. Noting that there is no ‘one solution fits all’, there is a need for a more landscape-type specific and regional research on waste management, the enhancement of policy and regulatory frameworks, and increased stakeholder engagement and awareness to achieve sustainable waste management in mountain areas. This short communication provides an overview of the key findings of the Outlook and highlights aspects that need further research. These are grouped per source of waste: Mountain communities, tourism, and mining. Issues such as waste crime, plastic pollution, and the linkages between exposure to natural disasters and waste are also presented.
