On the basis of the example of the implementation Swiss waste management concept it is shown that with simple goals and set environmental boundary conditions, reliable and sustainable solutions can be developed and realized. Hereby, incineration plays a central role and has evolved to the best available technology for the thermal treatment of waste. It became an indispensable element to solve the main problems related to waste, which comprise the reduction of waste volume, preventing from pathogenic hazards, protecting of the environment and the recovery of resources. Considering the future, with waste incineration it will be possible to extract rare substances from waste including strategic metals.
The main problems of waste disposal comprise reduction of volume, preventing from pathogenic hazards, protecting of the environment and the recovery of resources. Incineration has evolved as best available solution with manifold proven installations world -wide. The basic concept was designed more than one hundred years ago. Analogous to the car engine of 1900, the today’s technology has developed to a sophisticated treatment process. It fulfils highly demanding environmental standards and enables the recovery of valuable material and in the future also rare substances such as strategic metals.

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.
