Waste Management is ubiquitous in our everyday life. Economic prosperity and the abundance of materialistic goods imply the generation of waste. In parallel the public awareness for environmentally sound solutions in the field of waste management is raising. This context imposes challenging conditions for political leaders. Often politicians are confronted to take decisions about concepts or investments in waste management without independent expertise. They are approached by vendors of waste treatment technologies or concepts, claiming high environmental and energetic performance, combined with profitable cost - benefit rates.
Project risks can be caused by external events, or any other circumstances, which hamper the project’s overall success. The risk can affect the budget of the project, the timeline or the functioning of the scope. The focus in this chapter is to list the most common risks, which threaten the success of a big infrastructure project in the field of waste management. This chapter is a summary of the lessons learned from many successful and unsuccessful waste to energy projects. It focuses on the relevant risks, which the project owner has to take care for. The project owner is the entity which initiates a project, finances it and profits from its outputs. In the field of waste management, the project owner is typically a city or a larger group of municipalities.

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.
