Regenerative Energie
Biochar systems following the terra preta phenomenon aim at long-term carbon sequestration into agroecosystems, while simultaneously improving ecosystem services such as soil fertility and crop production. In addition, the terra preta concept teaches us how to sustainably use natural resources such as biomass and soil. However, despite several patents and technology advancement, we are far away from using this concept in a sustainable way, being successful in Amazonia for at least 2,000 years. Therefore, this European Coordination project in Science and Technology (COST) connects national biochar research and technology across Europe to enable quick implementation of sustainable management of natural resources, especially to maintain or improve soil quality while efficiently sequestering carbon in the long-term.
Innovative Biochar strategies can help the European Union mitigating greenhouse gases, while industries and farmers benefit from new markets, opportunities and use of improved soils, e. g. for biofuel production without endangering food supply. However, a risk assessment is necessary to protect food webs, human health and natural resources. For this purpose, four working groups will focus on (i) biochar production and characterisation with the aim of biochar certification, (ii) proper land use implementation with emphasis on applied research and implementation of biochar technologies, (iii) economic analysis including life cycle assessment and (iv) environmental impact assessment using basic research and meta analysis tools. Further information is available at the European biochar research network website (http://www.cost.eu/domains_actions/fa/Actions/TD1107).

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.
