The objective of this study was to obtain information related to the generation of domestic solid waste from private households of Coyhaique, a city with a population of 40,000 inhabitants, located in southern Chile.
A set of social variables was organized through a geographic information system (GIS) and a statistically significant cluster analysis allowed to identify city sectors with similar social characteristics. In each sector, the inhabitants of selected households were qualified to separate the domestic waste at home in three categories: recyclables (papers, plastic materials, metals, glass, wood), compostables (fruits and vegetables wastes, ash), and others. During one week, volunteers organized by the comunal administration visited the households every day to weigh separately each waste fraction. To develop a model for predicting the specific per-capita waste generation (SWG, kg waste per person and day), the results were correlated with the following social variables:
- NP: number of persons living in the household,
- TVL: tax value of the lot (incl. buildings),
- AMI: average monthly income of the inhabitants of the household,
- EC: electricity consumption,
- DWC: drinking water consumption,
- CA: constructed area (m2) on the lot and
- SSC: score of the standardized chilean social chart.

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.
