Regenerative Energie
The US generates the highest amount of waste per person in the world and continues to rely on landfilling at the expense of recycling and waste-toenergy, according to the latest in an annual series of national surveys on municipal solid waste generation and management.
In the frontier mentality that has evolved over the centuries in America, the abundance of available space has been a reassuring constant. When things get too crowded or too uncomfortable, there is always greener grass to move to, rebuild on and start all over again. This has also been the story of waste disposal in the US: there has been boundless room to grow, with plenty of extra land to dump the by-products. It is for this reason that waste - the consequence of the unprecedented economic expansion during the 20th century - has been for the most part ignored.

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.
