Just after the release of Waste Management Action Plan for 2008-2012 period in Turkey, TR - EU negotiations in environment chapter have opened. In the following period, many revisions in present TR regulations have completed and new directives and legislations were put into force on waste management, mostly in accordance with EU acquisitions. While the changes in the regulations in MSW management are realized, some factors are influencing and sometimes blocking their implementation. One of the major reasons is limited number of qualified stuff in regional units of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. The main challenge for the municipalities is to select and locate a waste management facility with proper combination of technologies while having very limited contact with experts at universities. In addition, neither the ministry nor the municipalities could overcome the public reactions to waste Management facilities. Another significant shortcoming is the incomplete adaption of EU legislation. Implementation of new legislation is possible by immediate developing of national, regional and local waste management plans and supply of satisfactory number of stuff with required expertise.
TR regulations have been improved with respect to EU directives and also Waste Management Strategic Plan of Turkey. The legislations on the control of waste and hazardous waste management have been amended and the legislation on sanitary landfilling of waste was released to provide the decrease on the percentage of biodegradables in landfilled waste. Moreover, adoptions on waste incineration and packaging waste have started. In addition, studies have been conducted to bring some landfills up to EU standards and to implement separate collection of various categories of waste. Biodegradable Waste Directive, Compost Regulation, and Mining Waste Management Legislation have been put into force. Also several new legislation and regulations have been released and improved gradually. However, according to EU Commission reports, there are still needs to prepare and implement national, regional and local waste management plans and applications in line with the EU Waste Framework Directive. The improvements on legislation are encouraging; however, a big part of generated solid waste is still directly landfilled in Turkey (The Ministry of Envirenment and Forestry 2008).

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich

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.
