Regenerative Energie
Biochar systems following the terra preta phenomenon aim at long-term carbon sequestration into agroecosystems, while simultaneously improving ecosystem services such as soil fertility and crop production. In addition, the terra preta concept teaches us how to sustainably use natural resources such as biomass and soil. However, despite several patents and technology advancement, we are far away from using this concept in a sustainable way, being successful in Amazonia for at least 2,000 years. Therefore, this European Coordination project in Science and Technology (COST) connects national biochar research and technology across Europe to enable quick implementation of sustainable management of natural resources, especially to maintain or improve soil quality while efficiently sequestering carbon in the long-term.
Innovative Biochar strategies can help the European Union mitigating greenhouse gases, while industries and farmers benefit from new markets, opportunities and use of improved soils, e. g. for biofuel production without endangering food supply. However, a risk assessment is necessary to protect food webs, human health and natural resources. For this purpose, four working groups will focus on (i) biochar production and characterisation with the aim of biochar certification, (ii) proper land use implementation with emphasis on applied research and implementation of biochar technologies, (iii) economic analysis including life cycle assessment and (iv) environmental impact assessment using basic research and meta analysis tools. Further information is available at the European biochar research network website (http://www.cost.eu/domains_actions/fa/Actions/TD1107).

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.
