Regenerative Energie
The growing human population of the world goes along with a growing generation of waste and residues. Population growth often is paralleled by increased wealth which typically results in a rising waste generation per capita. This additionally boosts the rapid increase of the amount of waste that needs to be dealt with. Municipal solid waste usually is in the forefront of the development as it brings large quantities as well as great potential to create nuisances if not disposed of in a controlled way.
Densely populated areas all over the world suffer from uncontrolled dumping of household waste, landfills that are a source of diseases and that attract animals and vermin, leachate that is contaminating ground and surface water which would desperately be needed as drinking water and similar problems. Additionally, landfills are a major source of greenhouse gases.
Waste-to-energy technology can be used to fight the increasing amounts of waste that are landfilled. In particular in countries, where the level of public wealth has already increased and which gained economic power in the last decades, the possibility to use this technology should be examined. However, for the varying framework in individually developed countries, the waste-to-energy concepts are different.

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.
