Klimaschutzrecht und Erzeugung erneuerbarer Energien in der Schweiz
Verschachtelte Gesetzgebung unter politischer Ungewissheit
The regulation of climate protection is codified in Switzerland in various enactments. At the federal level, the focus lies on the CO2 Act. In addition to this, the Climate and Innovation Act was recently approved in a popular vote. Simultaneously, at the cantonal level, climate protection provisions have been enshrined in several Constitutions. However, these provisions contain merely the objective to fulfil the requirements of the Paris Agreement. The actual reduction ofCO2emissions and, consequently, the practical effectiveness of climate protection depends on the production of electricity from renewable energies. To achieve this objective, the Federal Parliament has recently passed laws that aim at significantly increasing electricity production from hydroelectric power stations, as well as from solar and wind energy systems. On the one hand, the public interest of renewable energies is strengthened in relation to nature and landscape conservation. On the other hand, the licensing procedures are notably simplified. Nevertheless, the political and legal outcomes of this strategy remain uncertain. As far as it concerns the application of the law, it has yet to be seen whether courts will act in accordance with the prioritization of renewable energies on a case-by-case basis.

Assessing Climate Neutrality and Circularity in LCA – Methodology and Application in a Case Study

Climate neutrality and circularity are two main challenges and can only be addressed by the methodology of dynamic Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), where GHG emissions, resource demand and material recovery are calculated over the life time from construction, operation until the end of life management.

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.

Der Klimawandel nimmt besorgniserregende Ausmaße an. Zugleich wird klimaneutralität versprochen. Im Paris-Abkommen nur vage in Aussicht gestellt, soll ausweislich Art. 2 des europäischen Klimagesetzes für die Union im Jahr 2050 und nach § 3 Abs. 2 KSG für Deutschland bereits 2045 bilanziell Klimaneutralität erreicht sein.
