The main objective of waste management is to treat solid waste, wastewater and waste air in a sustainable way in order to protect human health and the environment from damage caused by harmful substances. With increasing amounts of waste, besides preventing or limiting the input of pollutants, saving resources has become more and more important.
On one hand, waste management should bematerial-efficient. An ideal waste management system produces only twocategories of substances, i.e. re-usable material and material for finalrepository focussing on the principal of concentration of environmentally harmfulmaterial and conversion of environmentally compatible material into an earthcrust- or soil-like form.
On the other hand, a distinguishing feature of asound waste management system is energy-efficiency. Thermal combustion (burningof waste in order to obtain energy) has become a very important factor for thechoice of location of a so-called waste to energy (WtE) plant. The heatreleased during the thermal treatment of waste should be used efficiently toproduce district heat, process heat and electricity.

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.
