The contribution of waste management operations to environmental protection is mostly looked at in terms of the collection and treatment of waste. Due to international contracts, as Kyoto Protocol and national emission reduction objectives, Stakeholder are confronted with collecting data, calculation of emissions and presenting them within sustainability reports.
Generation of this data is time consuming and expensive, therefore by applying the developed tool the possibility for modelling carbon footprints of a plant or even whole region within little time and no expert knowledge is given. In the private sector greenhouse gas emissions were reduced since 1990, despite every Styrianperson emits around 12 tons of climate effective gases per year. Carbon footprint calculators are often used to assess environmental impacts of individual behavior and life style. Characteristics of the presented climate balance tool are (1) an easy communication of results to decision makers,(2) a commitment to waste as product/secondary raw material, which could be compared to other resource streams, (3) the intention as planning, motivation and learning tool for stakeholders and non-experts.

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.
