The term "science policy" is often used in academia and government, but what does it mean and what are the practical implications of this concept? More specifically, we might ask how the principles of science policy encompass the complex links amongst researchers, the evidence base and policy makers. What insights are offered by studies of science policy and what value do these have for practitioners of evidence-based policy making? (Session A1: Waste management policies)
The United Kingdom (UK) Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is adopting a holistic approach to achieving sustainable consumption and production. The challenges posed by environmental sustainability require step changes at every level of society, from the way government formulates policy and collaborates internationally, to the way the public conducts their daily activities. We argue in this paper that a deeper understanding of the nature of science policy and the principles of evidence-based policy making will greatly facilitate the integration of a holistic, "life-cycle" approach into both sustainable waste and resources research and the policy making process. This paper serves as an introduction to an ongoing discussion within Defra about the practical implications of evidence-based policy making for the researcher. A case study within Defra is used to inform the discussion. True integration of the evidence base with strategic policy goals would allow us to embed more robust policy making processes that are evidence-based, not evidence-backed.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich

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.
