Regenerative Energie
The current development in the field of the mechanical-biological treatment of municipal and industrial wastes in Austria is a clear indication of the rising importance of this form of waste treatment. In the beginning of the year 2007, 17 mechanical-biological treatment plants were in operation with a treatment capacity of approximately 686,500 tons.
method to thermal treatment.
Two more facilities were being planned. This means that Austria has made a successful step in the direction of decentralized facilities for the pre-treatment of waste before landfill as much before incineration. The mechanical-biological treatment of waste and of municipal waste in particular is now firmly established as an alternative and complementary The rapid developments in Austria require a higher level of standardization for the operation of mechanical-biological treatment plants than provided for in the Landfill Ordinance, in order to be able to cut emissions into environmental media or to control them. A first step in this direction was already made in Austria in 2002 when a guideline was issued on the mechanical-biological treatment of waste. This guideline specifies a standard state-of-the-art technology and is intended to provide orientation for all parties concerned (especially planners, plant applicants and authorities). The documented results from investigations on 16 MBT plants in the year 2006 show that adaptation according to the state-of-the-art technology have been achieved only to a limited extent. Particularly need for action can be seen for the requirements concerning collection, reduction and cleaning of emissions into air. This is why a binding legal regulation (according to § 65 (1) of the Austrian Waste Management Law 2002 as amended) is recommended which would provide a suitable instrument in order to speed up the implementation of standard state-of-the-art technology as stipulated in the national guideline on the mechanical-biological treatment of waste.

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.
