“…All sectors have considerable work ahead to meet targets for increasing the share of renewables, lowering energy demand and reducing emissions.In this report, the IEA provides a range of energy policy recommendations to help Poland smoothly manage the transition to an efficient and flexible low-carbon energy system…”

“…Thailand’s electricity sector is at a turning point similar to that of many International Energy Agency (IEA) member countries, as it transitions to low-carbon power sources. Thailand must decide how to finance massive investments in new generation assets, transmission and distribution networks, as well as the steps to improve system operations and scale up energy efficiency. …”

“…Oil production is declining and major oil and gas importing countries have pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by mid-century, implying little demand three decades from now for oil or gas without carbon capture and storage. This report assesses the energy sector and related economic challenges facing Azerbaijan. …”

“…The Green Tax scheme targets reductions in all polluting vehicle emissions, not only carbon dioxide (CO2). The paper outlines the design process, reflects on the challenges encountered and the environmental, economic and social impacts. …”

“…In 2016, nuclear power continued to supply significant amounts of low-carbon baseload electricity, despite strong competition from low-cost fossil fuels and subsidised renewable energy sources. …”

“…The impacts of climate change policies, such as carbon taxes or requirements to purchase emissions permits, on airline competition, prices and profitability are analysed next. …”

“…At the same time, our scenarios suggest that emissions could be stabilized even with strong growth of demand, given immediate and continued efforts to reduce the sector’s carbon intensity. If stabilization is the goal, then finding cost-effective ways of achieving it becomes the critical issue…”

“…A critical question is how to encourage the transition to a low-carbon energy system. This review analyses the energy policy challenges Spain faces and provides sectoral recommendations for further policy improvements. …”

“…This is complemented by a high-level analysis of broader private sector adaptation based on responses to the 2009 Carbon Disclosure Project questionnaire. The case studies provide insight into companies’ awareness of potential climate risks and vulnerabilities, their progress in assessing specific impacts on their businesses and possible ways to respond to them, and their implementation of adaptation measures and strategies to manage these risks. …”

“…Reducing global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to net zero by 2050 is necessary to limit the long‐term increase in average global temperatures to 1.5 °C. …”

“…In 2008, the country adopted a long-term “green growth” strategy to foster economic development by means of low-carbon technologies and clean energy; since then, the government has implemented many policies to support these goals. …”

“…This trend will increase the lock-in of carbon intensive electricity sources, while IEA assessments show that two-thirds of total abatement from all sectors should come from the power sector alone to support a least-cost abatement strategy. …”

“…Although it owes a considerable part of its wealth to the carbon-based economy, Norway gives priority to the objectives embodied in the OECD Green Growth Strategy and sees itself as a pioneer in some areas. …”

“…Fruit d’une rencontre pluridisciplinaire de Cerisy, ce volume explore les figures du corps dans le savoir et l’imaginaire du savoir, de l’Antiquité à nos jours…”

“…The book draws on content and cases from across the 'Pathways' Transformative Knowledge Network; an international group of six regional hubs working on sustainability challenges in their own local or national contexts. …”

“…Ce Livre de l’expérience, pris entre l’analyse des Pères et de la scolastique, vient donc ici comme un manque à combler – non seulement en achevant un nouveau triptyque, médiéval cette fois, mais aussi en ouvrant sur une richesse expérientielle et philosophique de la spiritualité que nous aurions tort d’ignorer…”

“…Es la pasión por el terruño, añoranza para que no se pierda lo que hace sentir ser hijos de una localidad y de un entorno que tiene el encanto de lo heredado con cariño, ternura, sacrificio y sudor para que siga marcando, en el paso del tiempo, el futuro. -- Baltazar Enrique Porras Cardozo, Arzobispo Metropolitano de Mérida, Presidente de la Fundación AAM y MAM…”
