ABSTRACT Climate change is expected to contribute to global inequality, and exacerbate ecological risk for the world's poor. Despite recent trends within waste management academic discourse, which has begun to engage with inequality, and its underlying socio-economic and socio-political causes, discussions of inequality have so far remained absent from our investigations on climate change's impacts on waste management systems and practices. The purpose of the discussion is to call for a centring of inequality within our waste and climate discourse. I identify two main pathways for scholarly investigation, specifically, developing alternative waste management solutions for contexts in which waste management systems fail, which do not just perpetuate existing inequalities, and addressing the growing inequality in waste management technology and practice between the Global North and the Global South.

更加不平等的世界中的废物管理：在我们的废物和气候变化话语中以不平等为中心

摘要 气候变化预计将加剧全球不平等，并加剧世界贫困人口的生态风险。尽管最近废物管理学术话语中的趋势已经开始涉及不平等及其潜在的社会经济和社会政治原因，但迄今为止，我们对气候变化对废物管理系统和实践的影响的调查中仍然缺乏对不平等的讨论. 讨论的目的是呼吁在我们的废物和气候讨论中以不平等为中心。我确定了学术研究的两种主要途径，特别是针对废物管理系统失败的情况开发替代废物管理解决方案，这不仅使现有的不平等长期存在，
