Regenerative Energie
Food waste has reached disquieting proportions worldwide. About one third of all food losses are caused by consumers mostly in the industrialized countries. In Austria, this leads to 40 kg of still edible food thrown away per household and year, equaling the cost of about 300 to 400 €. In order to tackle food waste generation at consumer level, since 2011 an increasing number of initiatives has been launched to both raise awareness and give the consumers incentives and guidance to reduce food wastage.
Yet so far these initiatives have taken place in a rather uncoordinated way. Scientific evaluation of the respective goals, target audiences, concrete measures and especially outcome is mostly missing. This paper presents the results of a 2014 survey on activities taken in Styria to raise consumers’ awareness for food losses. The main research interest is to find out which kinds of and how many initiatives have taken place in Styria to avoid food losses at the consumer level from 2011 to 2013 and to develop a set of indicators by which these initiatives can be evaluated appropriately. To this end we apply a mixed methods approach, consisting of a chain referral research for activities aiming to raise awareness for food losses at the consumer Level.

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.
