SUMMARY:
In the beginning of a new millennium mankind faces various problems concerning a proper manner to share, maintain and preserve the natural resources. To ensure a sufficient level of sustainability in our natural resources management we need sustainable approaches in organising our technical environment. This approaches have to be developed, taught and realised with reference to the basics of an intercultural and interdisciplinary educational process. Various projects of the Bauhaus University of Weimar, Germany and its partners from Southeast Asia and Southern Africa aimed the development of a modular e-learning based distance education MSc Program on Environmental Engineering and Infrastructure development in the English medium. Background is to establish a co-operation on curricula development and study program operation to implement sustainable environmental engineering and infrastructure development approaches in developing countries.
A modular e-learning based distance education programme is an appropriate and cross border usable instrument to train postgraduate students as well as academic staff of the professional field on Environmental Engineering and management as well as Infrastructure Development and Management. Core elements are an E-learning platform, a common workflow to produce training material for correspondence courses and presence courses like secured and structured pdf-documents, html-documents and ppt-presentations from doc- or sxw-templates, a flexible system of joint curricula in the field of urban infrastructure development, environmental engineering and environmental management and an organisational scheme to agree the internal relations, the copyrights and the financial operations within the acting authors and institutions. The curriculum include the laws and economics, planning and social aspects and technical aspects especially water, waste water, transportation, energy, emissions and geotechnics. The main activities are the joint elaboration, adjustment, development, improvement and testing of course materials on a modular basis for the envisaged e-learning concept. Special focus would be set on the use of an open source based e-learning platform to operate the correspondence course and the development of a workflow to develop appropriate teaching materials. The workflow lead to a structured and secured pdfdocument. After completion and successful testing, selected partners in Southeast Asia and Southern Africa will serve as a hub for distributing the course to affiliated institutions of higher education.

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.
