Implementation of the EU Landfill Directive will change the nature of landfilled wastes, for example by requiring the treatment of biodegradable wastes prior to landfill. This will have major implications on the mechanical and flow properties of landfilled wastes, in particular their degradation and settlement rates, gas potential and mechanical stability. This paper outlines some of the research required to address these issues. (Session A4: Impact of EU regulation)
The EU Landfill Directive (European Council, 1999) aims both (a) to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and (b) to establish consistent engineered controls to prevent landfilled wastes from causing harm to the environment. With implementation of the Directive now well under way, it might be thought that landfills, and the need for landfill science and engineering research, are things of the past. However, this is not the case. Not only is there a legacy of landfills containing historic wastes that will have to be managed to completion, but also landfill will continue to play an important role in a balanced waste management strategy for some considerable time to come. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the wastes that we landfill are likely to change significantly. This paper outlines two major research programmes currently underway at the University of Southampton, addressing the issues of landfill management to completion and waste mechanics.

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
