Messages from the International Resilience Workshop

It is my pleasure to hand over to you the final version of the report of the Resilience workshop.

You are welcome to further distribute the report.

The workshop was held in response to the results gained during an earlier workshop on "Earth System Engineering: The art of dealing wisely with the planet Earth", held in 2008 at Wildbad-Kreuth. Four major Earth crises were indentified - crises that endanger the persistence of the life enabling conditions on Earth.

 

Global warming and the resulting climate change need to be tackled simultaneously with "loss of ecosystem functions", "unequal distribution and subsequent deficiency of vital resources such as air, water, food and energy", and "decay of conditions that keep economies as well as societies stable". It was agreed that measures to solve the four Earth crises must be derived within sustainability guidelines. Small meetings held after the first Wildbad-Kreuth workshop led to the hypothesis that the resilience theory expresses the potential of developing readily understandable and thus broadly acceptable measures toward a sustainable solution of the Earth crises.

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.
