Due to severe climate changes the Kyoto-protocol defined the clean development mechanism (CDM) for the implementation of environmental projects to reduce the output of greenhouse gases. Even though the importance and urgency of climate protection is established and generally accepted, the realisation of CDM-projects often turns out to be difficult and challenging. The parties involved in this business have to deal with numerous barriers. The example of landfill gas to energy projects shows the potential impact of social, political, technical and financial hurdles within the process of development, implementation and operation of CDM projects based on landfill gas capturing and utilisation.
The constant diminution of the fossil energy sources and the sometimes devastating climate changes force all of us to define new aims on the personal, national and international level. That is the reason why new directives have been written in several countries to protect the environment. Subsidies for renewable energies are also included in national budgets. We have all the same objectives: to guarantee a reliable and affordable production/delivery of energy everywhere in the country even in poor or in sparsely populated areas and protect the environment at the same time. The Kyoto-protocol has been created against this background. With its coming into force it is now possible to develop environmental projects in developing countries. The trading with the generated emissions certificates contribute to a global support of the environmental policies. Interested companies have been confronted with numerous barriers from the very beginning of the project development up.

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.
