Cool Companies How the Best Businesses Boost Profits and Productivity by Cutting Greenhouse-Gas Emissions【電子書籍】[ Joseph J. Romm ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Despite ongoing negotiations, consensus has not yet been reached on what action will be taken to combat global warming. A number of companies have looked beyond the current stalemate to see the prospect of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions not as a roadblock to growth and innovation but as a unique opportunity to increase profits and productivity. These "cool" companies understand the strategic importance of reducing heat-trapping emissions and have worked to cut their emissions by fifty percent or more. In the process, they have not only reduced their energy bill, but have increased their productivity, sometimes dramatically.</p> <p>In <em>Cool Companies</em>, energy expert Joseph Romm describes the experiences of these remarkable firms, as he presents more than fifty case studies in which bottom line improvements have been achieved by improving processes, increasing energy efficiency, and adopting new technologies. Romm places efforts to reduce emissions in the context of proven corporate strategies, showing managers how they can build or retrofit their operations with the latest technologies to reduce emissions and achieve quick returns on the investment. Case studies explain:</p> <ul> <li>the concept of "lean production" and why systematic efforts to reduce emissions so often lead to productivity gains</li> <li>how changes in office and building design can significantly increase productivity, greatly compounding gains achieved from increased energy efficiency</li> <li>options for "cool" power -- from cogeneration to solar, wind, and geothermal energy</li> <li>energy efficiency in manufacturing, including motors and motor systems, steam, and process energy</li> </ul> <p>In profiling successful companies such as DuPont, 3M, Compaq, Xerox, Toyota, Verifone, Perkin-Elmer, and Centerplex, among many others, <em>Cool Companies</em> turns on its head the notion that the effort to combat global warming will come with massive costs to the industrial sector. It is a unique and essential business book for anyone concerned with increasing profits and productivity while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,554円

China’s Role in Reducing Carbon Emissions The Stabilisation of Energy Consumption and the Deployment of Renewable Energy【電子書籍】[ David Toke ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>China, a still developing economy comprising a fifth of the world’s population, will play a key role in the global movement towards reducing carbon emissions. The aims of the Paris Agreement may stand or fall with China, both for its own contribution and the example it will set the developing world.</p> <p><em>China’s Role in Reducing Carbon Emissions</em> discusses the prospects for China achieving radical reductions in carbon emissions, within the context of the current economic and political landscape. With a particular focus on technologies such as such as wind power, solar power and electric vehicles, Toke examines how China is transitioning to a state of stable energy consumption via a service-based economy and heavy investment in non-fossil energy sources. The book concludes that China may be set to reduce its carbon emissions by approximately two-thirds by 2050.</p> <p>This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of climate change, sustainable development, political science and energy, as well as energy professionals seeking to understand the implications of recent developments in China.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,550円

As such, it will be of interest to researchers in the fields of architectural engineering, housing studies and climate change, while also appealing to industry practitioners and policymakers specializing in housing energy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 12,154円

Essential Guide to Solving the Climate Crisis and Global Warming: Renewables, Reducing Industrial Emissions, Climate Resilient America, Vehicles, Agriculture, Manufacturing Jobs, Youth Leadership, State and Local Leaders. Buildings, Risk【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This huge compilation of Congressional Select Committee on the Climate Crisis hearings covers a broad range of global warming topics, including the use of renewables, plans to reduce industrial emissions and create a climate resilient America, youth leadership, the roles of buildings, vehicles, manufacturing, and agriculture, and much more.</p> <p>Thirteen hearings are included:</p> <ol> <li>Generation Climate: Young Leaders Urge Climate Action Now * 2. Solving The Climate Crisis: Drawing Down Carbon and Building Up the American Economy * 3. Creating a Climate Resilient America * 4. Solving the Climate Crisis: Ramping Up Renewables * 5. Solving the Climate Crisis: Cleaning Up Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Protecting Communities * 6. Creating a Climate Resilient America: Business Views on the Costs of the Climate Crisis * 7. Colorado's Roadmap For Clean Energy Action: Lessons From State And Local Leaders * 8. Solving the Climate Crisis: Manufacturing Jobs for America's Workers * 9. Solving the Climate Crisis: Reducing Industrial Emissions Through U.S. Innovation * 10. Solving the Climate Crisis: Cleaner, Stronger Buildings * 11. Solving the Climate Crisis: Natural Solutions To Cutting Pollution And Building Resilience * 12. Solving the Climate Crisis: Opportunities In Agriculture * 13. Creating a Climate Resilient America: Reducing Risks and Costs</li> </ol> <p>Chair of the committee, Florida representative Kathy Castor, said:</p> <p>This committee is explicitly charged with finding solutions to solve the climate crisis so that we can, quote, "honor our responsibility to be good stewards of the planet for future generations."</p> <p>What is necessary to address the climate crisis is to stop carbon pollution from accumulating in the atmosphere. That requires action urgent action, ambitious action. Every ton of carbon pollution we avoid, every new solar panel and wind turbine we bring on line, brings us one step closer to solving the climate change challenge. So I want all the young people who are with us here today and those who are watching at school and across the country to hear our promise. We can't afford to let you down or disappoint you. The time for rejecting climate science is over. The time for frustration and despair in the face of the climate crisis must end. This is a time for hope. This is a time for solutions. This is a time for all of us to come together all generations, all political persuasions for action.</p> <p>The first major warning Congress received about the impending climate crisis was in 1988. But the Congress didn't act then. Today we know that oil companies' own scientists warned them about climate change, too. But instead of action, executives chose to tell Congress and the American people to ignore the scientists... and that we could afford to wait. Now the scientific consensus is too unequivocal to deny. What is clear from the science and what diverse voices, including young people across America, are telling us every day is that if Congress continues to delay, we lose. If Congress chooses the status quo, we lose. In fact, scientists have told us that the world needs to hit net- zero carbon emissions by 2050 to avoid the worst consequences of the climate crisis. Getting there means cutting greenhouse gas pollution 45 percent below 2010 levels by 2030.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,381円

Food for Thought: Sustainability From Counter to Compost - Compost Soil for Fertilizing Crops, Reduced Methane and Carbon Dioxide Emissions in the Fight Against Global Warming and Climate Change【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This Congressional hearing explored the role of composting and sustainable dining in combating global warming and climate change. This document is professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction.</p> <p>Global warming has been linked to the cars that we drive, the energy supply, and now the food that we buy. From farm to fork, our food often travels long distances to reach our plate. The carbon dioxide emissions from these food miles traveled are compounded by the methane produced when food waste is tossed in landfills.</p> <p>We cannot continue to spite the land that feeds us. The witnesses before us today are all pursuing sustainable dining options that can alleviate the impact of our food consumption on global warming. The impact is prevalent in the three responsibilities of a dining facility: procurement, consumption, and disposal. Purchasing local food reduces food miles traveled. Using renewable, biodegradable plates and utensils reduces oil consumption and waste. Turning table scraps and leftover food into compost returns nutrients to farms and reduces global warming.</p> <p>The food Americans eat increasingly comes from greater distances. From 1970 to 1980, our food miles traveled increased 1,300 to 1,500 miles. A 2002 World Watch Institute report stated that food in the United States traveled between 1,500 and 2,400 miles. The typical American prepared meal contains on average ingredients from at least 5 countries outside of the United States. By favoring more local fare, the CO2 emissions associated with food travel can decrease significantly. A University of Washington study found that a plate of Washington-sourced foods resulted in 33 percent fewer CO2 emissions than a plate of similar foods from their most popularly imported countries or States of origin.</p> <p>Even if a meal is entirely local, its contribution to global warming continues after the plates are cleared. Yard trimmings and food waste constitute 24 percent of the U.S. municipal solid waste stream, and half of the garbage at restaurants is estimated to be food waste. As this food rots in the landfill, it produces methane. If that methane escapes into the atmosphere, it traps 20 times more heat than CO2. Food in landfills will continue to contribute to methane emissions. A 2006 study predicted that, by 2025, food waste will increase by 44 percent worldwide. This methane buildup is deplorable because it is preventable. Food waste can be recycled into compost, resulting in fewer emissions and in new economic products. Compost soil can be used to fertilize crops and landscaping and support green jobs in food waste recycling. The reduced garbage load can result in lowered disposal fees as well. Using materials that can be converted to compost further relieves the strain on our landfills and steers facilities away from petroleum-based plastic products.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 917円

China's Way to Carbon Emissions Reduction The Choice of Regulatory Instruments and Its Legal Challenges【電子書籍】[ Ying Shen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Now that the most recent scientific estimates have shown that China has become the world's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, China's influence on the world's environment and sustainable development highlights the importance of tailoring Chinese climate change law to conform with the requirements of international conventions and agreements on climate change. This thorough analysis, based on an examination of climate status, legal background, and current regulatory systems in China, examines the potential role of different policy instruments in reducing carbon emissions in order to find an appropriate choice for China, and recommends approaches to key issues for relevant authorities.The author conducts a comprehensive and in-depth study on the three mainstream environmental policy instruments used to control carbon emissions - the cap-and-trade system, the carbon tax, and command-and- control regulations - in a Chinese context. She reviews China's current policies, and elucidates how the issues of climate change and global warming call for social, environmental, economic, and legal reforms in China, especially in the areas of administrative law and property rights law. Among the issues and topics covered are the following:- key issues on designing and implementing each of the three policy instruments;- the choice of regulatory instruments for carbon emissions reduction in a socialist market economy based on the discussion of market failure and government failure theories;- legal challenges from China's current administrative legislation and the definition of carbon emissions entitlements;- practical effect of China's climate change policy at the national, provincial, and local levels;- effectiveness of China's implementation of its international obligations;- lessons learned from schemes implemented in the United States and Australia;- comparison of China's seven regional pilot emissions trading scheme (ETS) programmes with the well-established EU ETS;- linkage between China's ETS and other ETSs from a global perspective; and- future direction of an emerging carbon market in China.The analysis assesses the critical costs and benefits of each approach in the context of selected case studies, taking legal literature in the field fully into account.Given that the Chinese government is taking steps to reduce emissions by altering energy production and usage and is signalling a willingness to make similar commitments in a multilateral treaty, it is very timely and important for lawmakers and scholars, within and outside China, to think about new and appropriate regulatory measures to respond to the crisis and plan for a sustainable future. This study provides not only a useful benchmark for both China and other countries in formulating initiatives on enhancing climate protection, but also details the global implications for governments and for international organizations concerned with the understanding between China and the rest of the world in the context of climate change mitigation.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 33,887円

Emissions Trading An analysis of emission trading with reference to companies dealing with emissions: the case of RWE and E.ON【電子書籍】[ Yilmaz Seker ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, University of Hull, language: English, abstract: 1 Introduction During the last century the Earth's average surface temperature has risen by 0.6 degrees Celsius. It is expected to warm by 1.4 to 5.8 degrees Celsius by the end of this century. The current warming trend is expected to cause extinctions. Many plant and animal species, already damaged by pollution and loss of habitat, are not expected to survive till the next century. Human beings are likely to face mounting impacts such as raising sea level, decrease of drinking water springs and, deserts may expand into existing farmlands. The main reason for growing thermometer is the industrialisation with burning of ever-greater quantities of oil, gasoline, and coal, the destroying of forests and some farming methods which especially causes carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These activities cause an increasing amount of 'greenhouse gases' in the atmosphere. The effect is that the global temperature is increasing artificially. Global warming involving the entire world which most countries joined an international treaty, under the umbrella of the United Nations, to begin to consider what can be done to reduce global warming. Therefore, in 1997 governments agreed to an addition to the consisting treaty, namely the 'Kyoto Protocol' (UNFCCC, 2005).

Carbon Credits and Global Emissions Trading A Viable Concept for the Future?【電子書籍】[ Jens Hillebrand ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 1,0, Vrije University Brussel (Solvay Business School), course: Advanced Technology, language: English, abstract: The ongoing process of changes in the global climate system is rather undisputed these days, as it is evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice as well as rising global sea levels. Moreover, while the exact causes for the currently observed increases in global temperatures are yet to be established, a growing consensus is emerging that at least part of it is human-caused. As a result, various panels and organisations have emerged throughout the world, which are working on strategies how to reverse or at least halt this process. As Kolk & Pinske point out the resulting climate policies across different sectors and locations are diverse. Various companies are trying to restructure their operations in order to reduce waste and to make their processes more energy efficient. A number of governments are enacting policies to replace CO2-intensive energy, released through the burning of coal, oil and gas by more environmentally friendly, so-called 'clean' energy, such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric power. Others are resorting back to nuclear power asserting that the actual risks of this technology are by far not as high as they are perceived to be or as they were some years ago. A further alternative that has recently been implemented by the EU is a 'cap-and-trade system' for energy-intensive industries, which defines strict limits for the absolute amount of emissions. While the responsibility for complying with this regulation rests with the companies in the respective industries, they are free to find ways how to stay within the limits. Compensating for emissions by purchasing carbon credits is one prominent option available to companies in this respect. Purpose of this paper will hence be to analyse the current state of emissions trading development and assess the prospects of a universal worldwide emissions trading scheme.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,030円

The effects of legislation on the municipal solid waste management in the European Union in the context of greenhouse gas emissions Using England, Germany and Bulgaria as representatives【電子書籍】[ Mike Speck ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Master's Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: Pass with Distinction, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, 73 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Since the pre-industrial era the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by nearly 30%, methane concentrations have more than doubled. The resulting climate change will lead to major environmental changes such as rising sea levels, shrinking mountain glaciers, the spread of infectious diseases and increased heat related mortality, impacts to ecosystems and loss in biodiversity, and agricultural shifts such as impacts on crop yields. As this increase is at least partly caused by human activity, the effort to confront anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions has increased over the last years. Probably the most important measure implemented is the Framework Convention on Climate Change. In the EU about one third of manmade methane emissions, with a global warming potential 21 times greater than that of carbon dioxide, can be attributed to solid waste disposal. With some 60% of municipal solid waste still being disposed of to landfill without any form of pre-treatment and extensive reliance on incineration for treatment of most of the remainder, it is clear that there is considerable scope for improvement. In this report the capability of either European or national legislation to improve the actual situation on greenhouse gas emissions related to the management of municipal solid waste was investigated by using England, Germany and Bulgaria as representatives. From the results obtained by applying a LCA it becomes obvious that European legislation will improve the actual situation on the management of municipal solid waste. The greenhouse gas emissions generated in England will be reduced by more than 75% and thus result in a negative greenhouse gas flux. In Bulgaria the emissions will decline by more than 82%. With regard to the waste management hierarchy the greatest improvements will be reached by reducing the amount of biodegradable municipal solid waste from landfilling and meanwhile focusing on material recycling. To deal with the putrescible fraction biological treatment options should be preferred to thermal treatment methods. All improvements achieved by the different scenarios are based on effective source segregated collection schemes. This measure could be justified by the fact that most treatment options rely significantly on the quality of the input materials and that in comparison with the whole municipal solid waste management emissions based on collection and transportation could be neglected.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,030円

Reclaiming the Atmospheric Commons The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and a New Model of Emissions Trading【電子書籍】[ Leigh Raymond ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>How the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative created a new paradigm in climate policy by requiring polluters to pay for their emissions for the first time.</strong></p> <p>In 2008, a group of states in the northeast United States launched an emissions trading program, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). With RGGI, these statesーConnecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermontーachieved what had been considered politically impossible: they forced polluters to pay the public for their emissions. The states accomplished this by conducting auctions of emissions “allowances”; by 2014, they had raised more than $2.2 billion in revenues. In this first in-depth examination of RGGI, Leigh Raymond describes this revolutionary and influential policy model and explains the practical and theoretical implications for climate policy.</p> <p>Other cap-and-trade schemes had been criticized for providing private profits rather than public benefits, allowing private firms to make money by buying and selling valuable “rights to pollute.” RGGI, by contrast, directed virtually all emissions auction revenues to programs benefiting the public at large. By reframing the issue in terms of public benefits, environmental advocates emphasized the public ownership of the atmospheric commons and private corporations' responsibility to pay for their use of it.</p> <p>Raymond argues that this kind of “normative reframing” is significant not only for environmental policy making but also for theories of the policy process, helping to explain and predict sudden policy change.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,738円

UpSizing The Road to Zero Emissions: More Jobs, More Income and No Pollution【電子書籍】[ Gunter Pauli ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"Zero emissions" has become a definitive term in the debate on sustainable development in the last few years. This radical book focuses on a world where the waste for one process can become the raw material for another ? a cascade of materials once thought worthless supporting new products, new processes and new wealth ? as industries that were previously considered unrelated cluster together. A world where new business will be created on an unprecedented scale. This is not just a theory: projects in the agro-industries, based on integrated biosystems, are already up and running in countries as diverse as Fiji, Namibia and Colombia and are fully described in the book, as is the lead given by Japan in terms of the adoption of the concept. In UpSizing, Gunter Pauli, founder of the Zero Emissions Research Initiative (ZERI), examines how the adoption of the Zero Emissions concept not only radically reduces pollution and waste but can contribute significantly to the generation of income and jobs ? specifically for those that need them most: the rural poor in less developed countries.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,618円

The Co-evolution of Commodity Flows, Economic Geography, and Emissions【電子書籍】[ Kieran Donaghy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book presents extensions to current commodity-flow models to analyze the economic and environmental impacts of recent structural changes, such as fragmentation of production and lengthening supply chains. The extensions enable augmented commodity-flow models to analyze the vulnerability of supply chains and regions to climate change and extreme weather events. The models allow the explicit treatment of trade in intermediate goods; the so-called “new economic geography” behavioral foundations for production and inter-industry and interregional trade; endogenous determination of capital investment and employment; and changes in emissions associated with production, consumption and freight movement. Presenting a modeling framework and simulations that are based on a thirty-year, spatial time-series of inter-industry and interstate trade in the US, this unique book is a valuable resource for regional scientists, economic geographers and transportation modelers, as well as environmental and atmospheric scientists.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 14,585円

Save The Planet! Save On Gasoline! …With Hybrid Cars Get The Best Car Deals With Hybrid Vehicles That Give Better Gas Mileage And Low Emissions So You Can Gain Huge Savings On Fuel Costs Plus Help Protect The Environment【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p> Hybrid cars are absolutely a breed of their own. They are designed specifically for maximum fuel efficiency and low emissions. Hence, they are car types that not only enable you to cut down on fuel consumption but also allow you to do your part in protecting the environment.<br /> <br /> There are a lot of hybrid car models out in the market today. In fact, most major car manufacturers have their own original or enhanced version of a hybrid car. Honda, for example has the Honda Insight, Honda Civic Hybrid and the Honda Accord Hybrid. Toyota has the Toyota Prius, Toyota Highlander Hybrid or the Toyota Camri Hybrid. Nissan has the Altima Hybrid. Those are just a few of the popular hybrid models. But here you can also see the committed drive of car manufacturers in saving the environment in their quest to constantly develop their hybrid models to adapt to modern needs.<br /> <br /> Hybrid cars give you better gas mileage by leveraging the power of gasoline and electricity. It captures energy while the car is going and stores it in the batteries for later use. When the hybrid vehicle is at a stop, it can automatically shut off the gasoline engine. Hybrids are also lightweight and lighter vehicles use up less energy. In addition, by lessening the amount of fuel that the car uses up, the hybrid consequentially limits the amount of harmful exhaust emissions given off, thereby causing less pollution to the atmosphere.<br /> <br /> Whatever the brand and version, there is absolutely one hybrid model that will suit the budget and needs of the selective consumer who wants to go green and make a difference through the car he uses.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 532円

Carbon Coalitions Business, Climate Politics, and the Rise of Emissions Trading【電子書籍】[ Jonas Meckling ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>An examination of how a transnational coalition of firms and NGOs influenced the emergence of emissions trading as a central component of global climate governance.</strong></p> <p>Over the past decade, carbon trading has emerged as the industrialized world's primary policy response to global climate change despite considerable controversy. With carbon markets worth $144 billion in 2009, carbon trading represents the largest manifestation of the trend toward market-based environmental governance. In <em>Carbon Coalitions</em>, Jonas Meckling presents the first comprehensive study on the rise of carbon trading and the role business played in making this policy instrument a central pillar of global climate governance.</p> <p>Meckling explains how a transnational coalition of firms and a few market-oriented environmental groups actively promoted international emissions trading as a compromise policy solution in a situation of political stalemate. The coalition sidelined not only environmental groups that favored taxation and command-and-control regulation but also business interests that rejected any emissions controls. Considering the sources of business influence, Meckling emphasizes the importance of political opportunities (policy crises and norms), coalition resources (funding and legitimacy,) and political strategy (mobilizing state allies and multilevel advocacy).</p> <p>Meckling presents three case studies that represent milestones in the rise of carbon trading: the internationalization of emissions trading in the Kyoto Protocol (1989?2000); the creation of the EU Emissions Trading System (1998?2008); and the reemergence of emissions trading on the U.S. policy agenda (2001?2009). These cases and the theoretical framework that Meckling develops for understanding the influence of transnational business coalitions offer critical insights into the role of business in the emergence of market-based global environmental governance.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,204円

Sulfur Emissions Policies, Oil Prices and the Appalachian Coal Industry【電子書籍】[ Robin Landis ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This volume, originally published in 1984, analyzes the impact of the 1973-74 oil price increases on the Appalachian coal industry in the USA, which would otherwise have suffered large output reductions as a result of sulfur emission restrictions. Although focussed on a particular geographical region and timeframe, this book has enduring relevance as it analyzes and discusses many of the issues which are still facing the ailing coal mining industries both in the USA and globally: the advent of new energy forms, increased competition from cheaper sources, strict pollution legislation and the impact that all of these issues have on productivity and employment.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,618円

Emissions Trading and Competitiveness Allocations, Incentives and Industrial Competitiveness under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme【電子書籍】[ Michael Grubb ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Complying with the forthcoming tightening of CO2 emission allocations in the EU may mean big bills for the industries affected. In this special issue of Climate Policy journal, leading experts examine the impacts on competitiveness and the commercial incentives available from the CO2 allowance allocations under the methodologies, and whether - and if so at what stage - the ETS itself may need to be amended.</p> <p>The study is multidisciplinary, combining economic, legal and policy analysis with specific studies of impacts on electricity, cement and other industrial sectors and the allocation issues. It brings together the results of research conducted over the past two year from various research centres and consultancies in Europe, and in particular, work commissioned by the Carbon Trust and Climate Strategies Network. Through these, it presents the most comprehensive and detailed set of analyses yet conducted of the impacts of allocation on competitiveness - one of the most critical issues for the sectors affected and for the operation of the ETS.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,335円

A World of Three Zeros The New Economics of Zero Poverty, Zero Unemployment, and Zero Net Carbon Emissions【電子書籍】[ Muhammad Yunus ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and bestselling author of <em>Banker to the Poor</em> offers his vision of an emerging new economic system that can save humankind and the planet</strong></p> <p>Muhammad Yunus, who created microcredit, invented social business, and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in alleviating poverty, is one of today's most trenchant social critics. Now he declares it's time to admit that the capitalist engine is broken -- that in its current form it inevitably leads to rampant inequality, massive unemployment, and environmental destruction. We need a new economic system that unleashes altruism as a creative force just as powerful as self-interest.</p> <p>Is this a pipe dream? Not at all. In the last decade, thousands of people and organizations have already embraced Yunus's vision of a new form of capitalism, launching innovative social businesses designed to serve human needs rather than accumulate wealth. They are bringing solar energy to millions of homes in Bangladesh; turning thousands of unemployed young people into entrepreneurs through equity investments; financing female-owned businesses in cities across the United States; bringing mobility, shelter, and other services to the rural poor in France; and creating a global support network to help young entrepreneurs launch their start-ups.</p> <p>In <em>A World of Three Zeros</em>, Yunus describes the new civilization emerging from the economic experiments his work has helped to inspire. He explains how global companies like McCain, Renault, Essilor, and Danone got involved with this new economic model through their own social action groups, describes the ingenious new financial tools now funding social businesses, and sketches the legal and regulatory changes needed to jumpstart the next wave of socially driven innovations. And he invites young people, business and political leaders, and ordinary citizens to join the movement and help create the better world we all dream of.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,283円

Pollution and the Atmosphere Designs for Reduced Emissions【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.</p> <p>This new compendium volume examines the significant impact of air quality on human health. Assessing air pollution in complex morphologies has become an important issue in order to implement mitigation measures and limit emissions from the most relevant sources, such as waste incineration, traffic emissions, emissions from fuel and electricity production, and household emissions. These pollutants result in adverse health effects, material damage, damage to ecosystems, and global climate change. The book looks at these issues and is divided into several sections, covering air pollution and where we came from and where we’re headed</p> <ul> <li>waste incineration and its impact on air quality</li> <li>air pollution vehicle and transportation emissions</li> <li>emissions from fuel and electricity production</li> </ul> <p>The chapters in <strong>Pollution and the Atmosphere: Designs for Reduced Emissions</strong> contain recent research looking at the two major components of air pollution: air pollution control and air-quality engineering. Air pollution control focuses on the fundamentals of air pollutant formation in process technologies and the identification of options for mitigating or preventing air pollutant emissions. Air quality engineering deals with large-scale, multi-source control strategies, with focus on the physics and chemistry of pollutant interactions in the atmosphere.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 18,440円

The Impact of Environmental Emissions and Aggregate Economic Activity on Industry Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>As economic growth continues to rise, so does economic degradation. Though certain rules and regulations do exist, pollution is fast becoming an unpaid factor of production, unlike the remunerations of labour and capital inputs. In this context, the environment is thus used as a factor of production which is not fully compensated.</p> <p>However, its use in the production process can be accurately captured by introducing emissions as an input in an aggregate production function, as Mihir Kumar Pal and other leading experts demonstrate. In a reverse approach, they examine the effect of emissions on industrial growth as opposed to that of growth on emissions, enhancing an awareness of this pivotal trade-off where the intersection between economy and environment currently needs it most.</p> <p>Offering both theoretical and empirical perspectives, <em>The Impact of Environmental Emissions and Aggregate Economic Activity on Industry: Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives</em> is an insightful and original contribution to the sustainable development and economics canon.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 12,285円
