Two Case Studies on Landfill Mining: Kössen (Austria), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan)

The former landfill 'Auwirtslacke†is located in Kössen, a Tyrolean municipality at the German border. It was operated for all kinds of municipal solid waste between end of World War I and the mid 1970s without whichever emission control.

As a part of mayor flood protection measures in the area (Kössen was the municipality mostly affected in Western Austria by the flood events in summer 2013) it was decided to remove the entire landfill (volume about 50,000 m3) in order to give the river more space. In order to have a sound estimate on disposal cost before starting the excavation works a complex assessment on the physical landfill content and its composition to be expected was performed, consisting of the evaluation of historical data (which was relatively fruitful compared to similar cases), interviews with former operating staff and finally the digging of trenches - total length about 800 m, distance between trenches 10 m - on the entire surface down to the landfill body´s bottom.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
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.
