Addressing the challenges associated with the implementation of environmental policies at local level.
circular
Environmental governance
General objectives
LEGISWASTE aims (I) to develop a robust scientific basis for assessing the real-world effectiveness of local waste-management regulations in Spain. Through the design and application of tailored legal indicators, the project seeks (II) to generate innovative empirical knowledge on how European and national circular-economy obligations are implemented at municipal level. It also intends to (III) strengthen local environmental governance and support the formulation of more coherent and evidence-based public policies, while producing tools that can be transferred to other territorial contexts and regulatory fields
From regulation to sustainable action
Specific objectives

To achieve these overarching aims, LEGISWASTE pursues a set of targeted objectives combining doctrinal legal analysis, empirical research in Spanish municipalities and the formulation of regulatory and governance recommendations. The project is structured to deliver operational instruments that enhance public decision-making in waste management and the transition towards a circular economy.

The specific objectives are:

DESIGN AND MEASURE
Metodología
Diseñar y validar un marco metodológico para evaluar la eficacia de las ordenanzas y regulaciones locales sobre residuos mediante indicadores jurídicos específicos.
Assessment tool
Develop a survey tool to measure regulatory effectiveness and subject it to expert validation and pilot studies.
IMPLEMENT – EVALUATE
Comparative indicators
To develop legal indicators based on the results achieved, which will enable a comparative assessment of the performance of local authorities.
Municipal implementation
To apply this instrument in selected local authorities and collect empirical data on the extent of regulatory compliance and its practical implementation.
ANALIZAR Y MEJORAR
Evidence-based governance
To make evidence-based recommendations to improve local governance, administrative oversight and public policy in the areas of waste management and the circular economy.
Regulatory assessment
To make evidence-based recommendations to improve local governance, administrative oversight and public policy in the areas of waste management and the circular economy.
TRANSFER
Dissemination and transfer
To design strategies for the dissemination and transfer of knowledge aimed at public authorities, private sector organisations and civil society.
