Biodiversity continues to decline worldwide. The territory of the European Union is no exception to this trend. At the same time, human well-being is not only endangered by this biodiversity crisis, but also by the climate crisis with all its consequences.

‘Human Rights Are Not Against Society’: On Standing in Climate Change Litigation
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (3/2023)
Bei Klimaklagen hängt der Zugang zu Gericht in besonderem Maße von der Abgrenzung subjektiver Rechte von kollektiven Interessen ab. Wie die Zuordnung individuell geschützter Rechte im Einzelfall vorgenommen wird, bestimmt sich in erster Linie nach der jeweiligen Rechtsordnung. Doch lassen sich von den Gerichten entwickelte dogmatische Herangehensweisen teilweise übertragen. Dieser Beitrag arbeitet auf rechtsvergleichender Grundlage vier Vorschläge im Umgang mit standing bei Klimaklagen heraus und begegnet so der Spannungslage, in der sich subjektiver Rechtsschutz im Licht des Klimawandels befindet.

Challenges for the Traceability of NGTs From a Legal Perspective
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (11/2022)
The regulation of new genomic techniques (NGTs) by European gene echnology law is not only of scientific-academic value, but also affects quite considerable economic interests. While the use of the corresponding technologies in the “red sector” – i.e. for human medical purposes – is still viewed with restraint in view of the risks to human health that are to be ruled out, the hoped-for multi-billion revenues in the “green sector” of plant biotechnologymean that less restraint tends to be exercised here.

Circular economy from an SDG perspective: A multi-stakeholder process for developing policy options
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2020)
Based on a longitudinal case study (the UniNEtZ project in Austria), which includes a multi-stakeholder involvement, we investigate the process of developing CE policies for the Austrian Federal Government from an SDG perspective. Within this context, the main research question is how multi-stakeholder processes can enable the development of CE policy options. The study thus contributes to providing a structured approach of how different stake-holders from academia, industry, research funding agencies and government collaborate, how knowledge is created and transferred within this multi-stakeholder process, and what outputs, outcomes and impacts can be realized at the national level in the context of developing CE policies using an SDG framework.

Reporting of food waste in the EU – Results of current estimates in Germany
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2020)
In February 2019, the German Federal Cabinet adopted the 'National Strategy for Reducing Food Waste', setting a framework for the future direction of this initiative. Among other things, it stipulated that an inter-ministerial "Indicator 12.3 Working Group" should prepare the data bases and methods for nationwide balancing of food waste generation (baseline). Based on existing 2015 data, this status quo analysis will be used as a starting point to agree on milestones for the respective sectors.

Transparency: Disclosure and Dissemination of Regulatory Data in the EU
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (5/2020)
Regulatory data submitted to EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies is – depending on the nature of such information – subject to a myriad of different transparency regimes. These regimes determine rules on disclosure following access requests, the possibilities to object to such disclosure as well as the (scope of) active dissemination of such information.
