Abstract

There is an increasing concern regarding the sustainable solid waste management (SWM) around the world. This review first summarizes First Nations’ social behavior, culture, environmental perspectives, and sustainable development perspectives. The review then introduces the laws and regulations regarding the First Nations SWM system and environment at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels. These laws and regulations can be described as the basic guides, restrictions, and useful improvement tools for First Nations SWM. After this, several technical reports and journal articles focusing on Canada’s Native First Nations are used to provide a comparison between urban and remote communities and allow analyses of three key issues (open dumping, open burning, and COVID-19) so as to describe the current state of Canadian First Nations SWM practices and demonstrate their diversity in Canada. Lastly, the potential First Nations SWM improvement strategies are introduced through education and training, process improvement, and zero-waste possibilities.

加拿大原住民社区固体废物管理综述:政策、实践和挑战

世界各地对可持续固体废物管理（SWM）越来越关注。这篇综述首先总结了原住民的社会行为、文化、环境视角和可持续发展视角。然后，审查介绍了联邦、省和市各级有关原住民雨水管理系统和环境的法律法规。这些法律法规可以被描述为原住民雨水管理的基本指南、限制和有用的改进工具。在此之后，使用了几篇以加拿大原住民原住民为重点的技术报告和期刊文章，对城市和偏远社区进行了比较，并对三个关键问题（露天倾倒、露天焚烧和新冠肺炎）进行了分析，以描述加拿大原住民雨水管理实践的现状，并展示其在加拿大的多样性。最后，通过教育和培训、流程改进和零浪费的可能性，引入了潜在的原住民雨水管理改进战略。
