As in many developing countries, municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the major environmental problems in Turkey. Problems associated with MSW are difficult to address, but efforts towards more efficient and environmentally acceptable waste disposal continue in Turkey. Although strict regulations on the management of solid waste are in place, undesirable disposal methods such as open dumping still have been widely applied in Turkey.
Solid waste management, a globally challenging issue due to its adverse environmental effects and higher costs, constitutes one of the most crucial problems faced by Turkish cities and local governments today. The rise in both total and per capita waste Generation and environmental impacts associated with inappropriate waste disposal practices together with the absence of an effective management mechanism has created severe problems in waste management in Turkey. Today, with the help of EU adaptation, waste generation and management have been recognized as a priority for Turkey and policies are being developed to overcome existing obstacles. Institutional capacity have been developed in both central government and many municipalities in Turkey to overcome the waste problem. Furthermore, waste management has been a pressure point for Turkey while being a candidate country for EU accession. This study examines the current status of waste management in Turkey and underlines problematic areas in waste management sector.

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.
