With rapid increase in population and urbanization, uncontrolled municipal solid waste system is causing public health and environmental issues in the mega cities of Pakistan.
This study aims to investigate municipal solid waste (MSW) of Lahore, 2nd biggest city of Pakistan with a population of eleven million according to census, 2017. Socio-economic structure was considered and a set of samples was collected from different locations to study the physical composition, proximate and ultimate analysis, and heating values of MSW of Lahore. Listed in decreasing sequence, the physical components of Lahore MSW are biodegradable, nylon, textile, combustibles and mixed paper. The received results of moisture content (43.62 %), volatile content (28.37 %), ash content (24.69 %), fixed carbon (3.31 %), high heating value 7160 kJ-kg-1, elemental carbon (18.05 %), nitrogen (0.73 %), hydrogen (7.28 %), sulphur (0.22 %) and oxygen (49.03 %) are in line with the MSW data of China, Malaysia and other Asian countries. These results show that the high moisture content and low heating values are the major bottlenecks to get the maximum energy from incineration facilities.

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.
