Regenerative Energie
Over the last decade, the topic of sustainable development has gained importance in the European automotive industry. Because of the signifi cant impacts cars have on our environment and society over their life cycle, sustainability related legislations have become increasingly stringent in the recent past.
Therefore, the consideration of sustainability topics throughout a cars entirelife cycle has not only become a task for establishing a 'green†image but also for maintaining competitiveness in a changing business environment. As authors such as Byggeth et al. (2007) or Mascle & Zhao (2008) state, these considerations should start already in the early product development phase since in this phase not only up to 80 % of a products costs but also the majority of its environmental and social impacts are determined. Due to the increasingly high recycling rates, substance regulations and substance bans in the automotive industry, among other sustainabilityissues, it is particularly important to optimize the material composition and the recyclability of the car. This optimization however can be challenging, since the application of innovative lightweight technologies on the one hand helps to lower the use-phase CO2-emissions, but on the other Hand involves the danger of also decreasing its recyclability.

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.
