    Anwendung des umweltrechtlichen schädigungsverbots auf exzessive treibhausgasemissionen

    Climate change is the greatest threat that humanity has ever faced. Excessive greenhouse gas emissions are the biggest factor in climate change. Human beings are emitters of greenhouse gases simply by virtue of their existence. The rapid increase in greenhouse gas emissions has been speeding up since the industrial revolution. The extreme increase in greenhouse gas emissions means that the damage caused by climate change is increasing every minute. Awareness of climate change and its causes is well established in international law. The international community is making serious efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the battle against climate change. Nevertheless, excessive greenhouse gas emissions and environmental damages are increasing rapidly. Unfortunately, the adoption of measures to combat excessive greenhouse gas emissions is entirely at the discretion of the individual states. In recent years, therefore, the applicability of the no-harm rule (transboundary harm rule), a rule of customary international law, has been proposed against excessive greenhouse gas emissions for which no effective solution can be found. Unfortunately, the procedures for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions that are implemented through international environmental conventions and -protocols do not contain sufficient sanction mechanisms. However, the no-harm rule is a customary rule which against no serious objections have been raised so far. In order to examine whether the no-harm rule can be applied to excessive greenhouse gas emissions, a number of questions must first be clarified. First, the no-harm rule should be analysed together with its historical development. On the other hand, international arrangements with broad participation on excessive greenhouse gas emissions should be reviewed. In the end, two different areas should be considered together. The objections raised against the applicability of the no-harm rule to excessive greenhouse gas emissions should be examined. The assessments have shown that some of the objections submitted are not valid. Some objections are also justified, but are not relevant for the application of the no-harm rule. Although it contains a number of ambiguities, the conclusion is that the applicability of the no-harm rule to excessive greenhouse gas emissions does not constitute a meaningful problem.
