Waste Management in 20 years - an outlook

The precautionary principle originated in the 1930s and taken up by von Moltke in the midst of 1960s (1) known in Germany as the 'Vorsorgeprinzip�. It was a long discussion in Germany in the 1970s about the precautionary principle and how to implement in the German legislation. It was implemented in the Clean Air Act, 1976 containing five elements:

· early detections (research needed)

· if impacts could be irreversible, then act before 'proofâ€�

· reduce environmental burdens anyway · promoting Clean Production (later: eco-efficiency)

· Encourages convergence around pursuit of both environmental and nonenvironmental (f. ex innovation, competitions, employment) goals.

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.
