Die Grenzen des Wachstums als Rechtsfrage journal article Von „Zero Waste“ zur „Circular Economy“ Ekkehard Hofmann Zeitschrift für Europäisches Umwelt- und Planungsrecht, Volume 20 (2022), Issue 3, Page 280 - 288 50 years ago, the Club of Rome commissioned a study on the sustainability of the Western way of life. “Limits to Growth” had a huge impact on how environmental policies were since shaped and perceived, the notion of sustainability as an answer to the finiteness of natural resources became a household staple. However, the study received fundamental criticism because it made the prediction that civilization will face catastrophic consequences in the middle of the 21st century. “Planetary boundaries”, as a completely different approach tried to avoid such contentious statements. Its objective is to identify a safe operating space for societal development in which humanity can continue to develop and thrive. Both reports acknowledge the finiteness of life on earth. The paper deals with regulatory concepts that are designed to address this insight including the EU Action Plan on circular economy.

Klimawandel – Perspektiven eines zukünftigen Umweltrechts journal article Leistungsfähigkeit, Herausforderungen, Grenzen Ekkehard Hofmann Zeitschrift für Europäisches Umwelt- und Planungsrecht, Volume 18 (2020), Issue 4, Page 394 - 410 Environmental law has been changing drastically in recent years. While the „classical“ task of curbing local and regional risks to natural resources is still crucial, a substantial, though somehow tardy progress, can be observed in those areas. Under the global imperative of effective climate mitigation, however, increasingly other fields of action require attention, which puts democratic decision making procedures under tremendous pressure: if climate policy measures turn out to be inadequate, the resulting penalty will not be simply a delay but the non-compliance with its implied greenhouse-gas-emission reduction targets set out by the Paris Convention, most likely entailing fatal consequences. Bearing this in mind, the following analysis focusses on climate protection law instruments in the areas of transport and agriculture.
