bifa-Text Nr. 42: CDM - Clean Development Mechanism in the waste management sector

bifa-Text Nr. 42

In the framework of the Kyoto Protocol the Clean Developement Mechanism (CDM) has been implemented to promote a sustainable development in developing countries. On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Preservation and Nuclear Safety (FDE) a guide has been produced, named "Utilization of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in Waste Management - Guide to Foreign Investment Projects". In addition to this guide bifa text No. 42 contains the results of in-depth analysis which resulted in several findings about obstacles and errors within the UNFCCC framework (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change).

This work examines possible forms and related consequences of CDM projects in the waste management sector. The social aspects of implementing highly sophisticated waste management systems in the developing world are highlighted. In these countries effects of competition can occur against the wastepickers, which are mostly extremly poor people earning their livelihood from waste collection.

 

Furthermore the potentials of diverse treatment options are simulated according to UNFCCC methodology AM0025 and hindrances in the present methodological framework identified to provide a holistic picture of the CDM in the waste sector.

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.
