Bei der Erhebung von Abfallgebühren zur Finanzierung der Abfallwirtschaft kommen verschiedene Gebührenmodelle zur Anwendung.
Durch Art und Weise ihrer Gestaltung und insbesondere durch Herbeiführung einer verursachergerechten Veranlagung lassen sich wesentliche Änderungen der Abfallströme bewirken. Die dabei stattfindende Reduzierung der Restabfallmenge spiegelt sich durch Verlagerung der entsprechenden Fraktionen in andere Entsorgungssysteme basierend auf einem veränderten Trennverhalten wider. Mit Steigerung der Verursachergerechtigkeit und flächendeckender Wirksamkeit des Gebührenanreizes durch angepasste Leistungsnachweissysteme können diese Entwicklungen verstärkt werden, wobei Tendenzen in Richtung Fehlentsorgung und Wertstoffverunreinigungen bei geeigneter Gebührenregelung und ausreichendem Vermeidungspotenzial nicht zwangsläufig sind.

Die Aarhus-Konvention im Werkzeugkasten des Rechtsanwalts: Universeller Türöffner oder stumpfes Schwert?
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (2/2019)
Es gibt wohl kaumeinen völkerrechtlichen Vertrag, der umso weitreichendere Folgen für die Entwicklung des Umweltrechtsschutzes hat, je länger er in Kraft ist, als die Aarhus- Konvention (AK). So scheint es sich zumindest darzustellen, wenn man sich die rechtspolitischen Debatten vor Augen führt, die im Jahr 2017 zur Novelle des Umwelt-Rechtsbehelfsgesetzes geführt worden sind und bei denen nicht unmaßgebliche Stimmen in der Unionsfraktion des Deutschen Bundestags am Rande der parlamentarischen Beratung die Auffassung vertraten, man solle lieber aus der Konvention austreten als die sich daraus ergebenden Klagerechte umzusetzen.
Market-based Instruments for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in Brazil: Experiences and Prospects
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (12/2012)
Brazil has become an increasingly important participant in the discussion about climate change, combining an active role in climate diplomacy with credible domestic policy efforts. Market-based instruments have featured prominently in its domestic policy landscape, with carbon markets envisioned both at the federal and regional level. Aside from successful participation in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and some progress in the creation of voluntary offset markets, however, the pathway towards a domestic carbon market has so far been fraught by delays and ongoing uncertainty. Still, Brazil can build on proven institutional structures, quantified emissions limitation targets, and new rules on the collection of emissions data and sectoral mitigation plans to establish robust market-based instruments. A carbon market can help leverage its vast mitigation potential to abate greenhouse gas emissions at sufficient scale while limiting the cost of compliance for domestic entities. Given its unique emissions profile, however, Brazil should not focus on becoming a net seller of carbon credits or allowances to foreign entities, but should instead harness the opportunity to create an ambitious, welldesigned market and thereby become a leader on climate change mitigation in Latin America.
A Green Emerging Market: India’s Experiments with Market Based Mechanisms for Climate Mitigation
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (12/2012)
India is the fourth largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. After Copenhagen in 2009, India announced that it will be working to reduce voluntarily the carbon intensity of its emissions by 20–25 % against 2005 levels by the year 2020, while maintaining a growth rate of 8 %. In 2011–2012, it introduced a number of innovative initiatives to help reach that goal. This paper will discuss three of these measures. Two of these schemes are market based initiatives in the field of energy: the first is called “Perform, Achieve and Trade” and is aimed at improved energy efficiency; the second scheme promotes increased use of renewable sources of energy through trade in renewable energy certificates. The third scheme is a pilot market based emissions trading mechanism that seeks to reduce the levels of particulate matter emissions in three leading industrial states in India.
Emissions Trading around the World: Dynamic Progress in Developed and
Developing Countries
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (12/2012)
Drawing on a series of forthcoming case studies developed under a joint project of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), this article conveys the dynamic bottom-up progress on emissions trading systems (ETS) around the world. The case studies will provide an easily accessible tool that facilitates the analysis of ETS based on examples from existing and developing policies. Each of the 18 case studies provides an overview of the history on climate action within the specified jurisdiction, highlights ongoing challenges and unique features, and describes key ETS elements. The jurisdictions of focus lie within both developed and developing parts of the world, and the set of case studies encompasses multinational-, national-, regional-, state/provincial-, and city-scale jurisdictions. This article summarizes the key design features and differentiating aspects of ETS development in each jurisdiction. While designs vary, each ETS described ultimately belongs to the same category of quantity-based market mechanism.
New Market Mechanisms: Prerequisites for Implementation
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (12/2012)
The Durban climate conference decided to establish a new market-based mechanism (NMM) that is to cover broad segments of countries’ economies. This article aims to explore the essential prerequisites for the implementation of an NMM. In addition to a theoretical discussion it considers the cases of China and Mexico. The article finds that the challenges in establishing market mechanisms that cover a broad segment of the economy are formidable and most developing countries have serious capacity constraints. Lead times can be expected to be at least 3–5 years. To move the process forward, it may be useful to consider promoting pilot activities similar to the Activities Implemented Jointly pilot phase that preceded the introduction of the flexible Kyoto mechanisms and the demonstration activities for Reducing Emissions from Avoided Deforestation and Forest Degradation.
