Regenerative Energie
Over the past 30 years, global temperatures have risen continuously by around 0.2°C per decade; the ten warmest years on record have occurred since 1990. Since the discovery of this trend, there has been considerable debate over whether climate change can be attributed to human activities. Although arguments are made against human induced climate change, most scientists nowadays ascribe global warming to an increase in greenhouse gases (GHG) caused by human activities.
To tackle global warming, the United Nations (UN) developed a global regime committing countries to stabilize or reduce their GHG emissions at a level. In order to meet these reduction obligations, countries are not solely limited to taking domestic action. They can meet these demands in part through international mechanisms such as “Joint Implementation” (JI) and the “Clean Development Mechanism” (CDM). These “projectbased flexible mechanisms” provide the possibility of reaching reduction targets through project activities abroad. These reductions can then be counted towards a country’s domestic reduction commitment.

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.
