Regenerative Energie
According to a study for food waste in the EU-27, households produces approximately 42% of the total amount of food waste. Even though the generation of household food waste is only one part of the whole picture, there is growing evidence that their contribution to the problem is particularly significant. However, there is a complete lack of quantitative data on the food waste generation in Greece. Thus, the aim of the present research was to fill the lack of information on the attitudes and behaviours of Greek households towards food waste generation and prevention.
A structured questionnaire was utilized in order to identify the attitudes of the respondents in addition to certain behavioural good practices that can prevent food waste generation. In order to quantify food wastage, a 15-day food waste diary was filled by 120 participants representing respective households, during the second half of 2013. The results were then extrapolated for a whole year. In addition to the food wasted, sociodemographic characteristics were also recorded. The diaries were completed in the cities of Athens, Heraklio and Chania. The research indicates that people in Greece have positive attitudes towards food waste prevention and their habits are close to the good practices suggested by the literature for reducing waste. Regarding the type of the household, household behaviour towards food waste prevention is affected by the family structure and the behaviour of the person who is mainly responsible for food shopping and cooking. The research was partially funded by the LIFE+10 ENV/ GR/622 project 'WASP Toolâ€.

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.
