Regenerative Energie
Arguably the best-known greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trading initiative in the U.S. is the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). As of October 2007, a group of 10 states in the northeastern U.S. have agreed to begin an emissions trading system on 1 January 2009.
This proposed system Covers the electricity energy sector; more specifically
generators with power plants in the RGGI region with over 25 MW of nameplate capacity, totalling approximately 810 facilities in the participating states. Although RGGI is a sub-national regional initiative, the participating states as a region represent the world's seventh largest greenhouse gas producer, responsible for approximately 3.2 per cent of global emissions,2 which is an amount nearly
equalling that emitted by Germany. Furthermore, this initiative may play an important role with respect to future U.S. federal climate protection policies.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
