Verfassungsrechtliche Klimaschutzverpflichtungen Journal Artikel Thomas Groß Zeitschrift für Europäisches Umwelt- und Planungsrecht, Jahrgang 17 (2019), Ausgabe 3, Seite 353 - 363 The scientific evidence on climate change is overwhelming, but the measures on the national, European and global level to reduce emissions are insufficient. Therefore in many countries courts are approached in order to enforce the duties of governments to take action. The article gives an overview on case law in Europe and discusses some of the legal problems concerning positive obligations derived from human rights.
Die Öffentlichkeitsbeteiligung in der Infrastrukturplanung im Rechtsvergleich Journal Artikel Thomas Groß Zeitschrift für Europäisches Umwelt- und Planungsrecht, Jahrgang 15 (2017), Ausgabe 1, Seite 55 - 62 The comparative analysis gives an overview of the main common features, as well as the major differences, concerning public participation in infrastructure planning in ten European countries. Some basic requirements are found in the Aarhus Convention and the EU directives based on it. Nevertheless, the legal regimes for infrastructure planning are different in all countries and, therefore, the implementation of the Convention is not uniform. Examples from other countries may help to improve participatory procedures in order to strengthen the protection of the environment.
