Sustainable Waste Management for the 21st Century

To approach "sustainable development" humans need to control emissions to water, air, and land. The developed nations are doing a fairly good job with regard to water and air, except for greenhouse gases (GHG).

When it comes to controlling emissions to land, the U.S. is much behind Japan, Denmark, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Singapore and several other nations. What is less understood is the adverse impact of landfilling municipal solid wastes (MSW) on the land and also on GHG emissions.

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.
