Regenerative Energie
Solid waste used to be landfilled in Sweden, but not anymore. Due to special landfilling taxes and a rapid growth of incineration plants for solid waste in Sweden, the landfilling activity is less and less significant in the landscape. The amount of waste landfilled in 2005 was 210,110 tons of household waste, 23.2 kg per person. It is a decrease by 44.7 per cent since 2004. Since 1994, when the Swedish Association for Waste Management began to compile statistics, the number of landfill sites receiving more than 50 tons of waste annually from municipalities has decreased from about 300 to 165 and the amount of waste going to these sites has decreased from 6.1 million tons in 1994 to 1,9 million tons in 2005, a reduction of 68 per cent.
In Sweden, the two most popular treatment methods for the landfill leachate are either transfer to a municipal wastewater treatment plant or artificial wetlands. The heavy metal removal efficiancy of a leachate treatment site consisting of artificial wetlands was studied at the Albäck landfill in southern Sweden. In 2003, 20,000 tons of waste was deposited. The leachate treatment system was commissioned in 1997 and consists of an initial aeration step, several wetlands with different vegetation and depths, intermediate aeration and mixing in a ditch, and final sedimentation in a pond. A total of 120,000 m

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.
