Regenerative Energie
The vision of a full recycling economy disregards the fact that landfills are indispensable asa pollution sink in an environmentally sound recycling management. Waste Management will continue to require landfills in the future. In order to avoid erroneous developments, an integral concept for an all-encompassing waste management is needed.
The European Commission presented the flagship initiative A resource-efficient Europe to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on 26th January 2011. The target of this initiative is the drastic reduction of Europe’s raw material consumption in order to make it less reliant on imports and strengthen its economy’s competitiveness.
The long term planning envisages several coordinated roadmaps as its main components. The roadmap to a resource-efficient Europe, containing the relevant targets until the year 2050, was also presented to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on 20th September 2011. Under the heading Turning waste into a resource, the vision of a full recycling economy is described, in which waste generation is reduced and waste is to be viewed as a resource. The milestone stipulates:
By 2020, waste is managed as a resource. ...More materials, including materials having a significant impact on the environment and critical raw materials, are recycled. ...Energy recovery is limited to non recyclable materials, landfilling is virtually eliminated and highquality recycling is ensured.
In this context, the Commission is going to review the existing prevention, reuse, recycling, recovery and landfill diversion targets in 2014, in order to move towards an economy based on reuse and recycling, with residual waste close to Zero.

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.
