Regenerative Energie
Advanced solid waste management (SWM) strategies and technologies offer huge potentials to contribute to climate change mitigation. According to recent studies and experiences in Germany 10-15% of the total greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by implementing strategies and technologies which reduce, re-use and recycle waste ('3R') and by waste-to-energy Projects.
Developing and in particular emerging countries would be able not only to contribute to global climate change mitigation and improve resources recovery at comparatively low costs, but also to significantly improve health and environmental conditions in their countries if they were to put in place advanced SWM systems. However, the prevailing conditions in these countries are not suitable for the establishment of sustainable SWM systems.
If the international community wants to mobilise these SWM’s potentials to contribute to greenhouse gas GHG reduction and resource recovery the simple transfer of technologies in developing and emerging countries will not be sufficient. Besides the provision of additional funding under international climate change agreements, an enabling environment must be built up in parallel. This involves in particular establishing and strengthening professional agencies and administrations, local research and development, education and training structures as well as participation and support of relevant stakeholder groups. It requires a comprehensive and long-term support based on a strategic and coordinated approach. In the long run, developing countries (DC) should become able to generate own expertise and continuously further develop their national SWM systems. For this purpose country partnerships, agreed upon between a donor and the beneficiary country, represent a suitable organisational and possibly contractual basis. In the frame of the international negotiations on the amendment of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change such approaches are discussed as 'National Appropriate Mitigation Activities (NAMA)' or 'Sectoral Approaches'. This presentation illustrates such a sectoral approach for the solid waste sector.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens

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.
