Summary/Abstract
The report reviews 56 international conventions, regional conventions, and EU Directives for their potential impact on CCS activities. Appendix 2 to this paper provides an overview of each of these individual frameworks and their applicability to CCS activities, highlighting significant definitions and hazard classifications (e.g. ‘waste’, ‘pollution’, ‘dumping’), as well as issues of geographic scope, juris- diction and liability. These international conventions and EU Directives are reviewed in thematic groups (e.g., waste management; marine pollution; climate change; transport and liability; access to information, public participation and access to justice; water; liability for transboundary impacts; nature conservation).
