Regenerative Energie
Urban population is steadily increasing across the world; most recent estimates show that by 2050, 70% of the world’s population will be urban. As in low and middle income countries the organic fraction plays a major role in MSW, the feasibility of its collection and treatment in megacities across the world will become more and more an issue to be investigated.
Currently there are a few case studies in which biowaste collection and composting have been implemented on a quite relevant scale; one of those is the experience of Dhaka, Bangladesh, in which Waste Concern, a Social Business Enterprise, have set up a combined model including both a community - based decentralized composting (< 3,000 tpy) inside urban areas, and a large scale composting plant (40,000 tpy). These two main of models in place in Dhaka allow for some comparisons to be made in order to evaluate with which boundary conditions the decentralized composting solution is feasible in urban areas. We will present how two main factors, namely urban land price and the market value of the compost produced with the small scale facilities, can affect the choice between these two options, showing that the decentralized option may prove to be feasible in many megacities.

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.
