The paper reports on the development of a novel web-based Decision Support Tool, the WASP Tool (acronym of the words Waste Prevention), that enables LAs to select and implement the optimum waste prevention programme for their local circumstances and prepare their Waste Prevention Plans. The tool has been developed in the context of the LIFE+ project 'WASP Tool - Development and Demonstration of a Waste Prevention Tool for Local Authorities†- LIFE10 ENV/GR/622â€) and specialises in the geographical area of Greece and Cyprus, with high potential to better reflect need of the Mediterranean space.
A wide range of the waste prevention activities that have been already implemented worldwide has been studied and evaluated regarding their diversion potential, cost of implementation, level of behavioural change required and environmental benefits. Moreover, analysis has been conducted of the waste production characteristics and the existing waste management systems in the study areas of Greece and Cyprus. The WASP-Tool utilises the information and conclusions from the aforementioned evaluation and field results. More specifically, the WASP-Tool is implemented as a knowledge-based decision-support system, which extracts characteristics and features of the waste prevention strategies, models them, and applies multi-criteria evaluation techniques in order to facilitate decision making. The output of the system includes a ranking of the appropriate waste prevention activities, as well as estimated results for each activity, taking into account local demographics and waste parameters.

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.
