Transition énergétique et financement vert : état des lieux et perspectives pour l’Afrique à la lumière des COP21 et COP22

Author(s): Matouk Belattaf,Sylia Belattaf / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The energy transition relates to environmental and climate issues by focusing on global warming to consider the gradual emergence of fossil fuels and the development of renewable energies. Especially since energy is the main GHG emission source at the global level, which makes absolutely necessary the fight against climate change… Where we need to decarbonize the economy The last two international meetings – COP21 and COP22 – have set a goal of limiting global warming to less than + 2° C by the end of the century, which has materialized in the Agreement from Paris. For Africa and other developing countries, it is planned to finance the North for its benefit of USD 100 billion by 2020. In Marrakech, it is decided to catalyze the transition in Africa towards a green economy and to direct capital flows for efficient, sustainable and low-carbon infrastructure projects. The paper will try to highlight the energy transition in the world, its assessment and evolution by region, and green finance. Then focus on the state of play and prospects for Africa, in light of COP21 and COP22.

La croissance économique et l’environnement dans un contexte de changement climatique

Author(s): Serge Magloire M’Boungou / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

Globalization promotes the creation of wealth, but also social polarization in the North and South, while precipitating a degradation of the natural environment and jeopardizing sustainable development. This creation of wealth, namely economic growth, tends to increase the impact of human activities on the environment. In the absence of action, in the face of environmental challenges, there will be more consequences today than in the past. The objective of our reflection is to show that long-term economic growth is possible without compromising the environment that is seen here from an economic point of view. The question we have posed is whether long-term economic growth can continue while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The answer is yes for most economists who have studied the problem. It should be possible to reduce GHG emissions in several ways. The problem of climate change is clearly related to economic growth. The point of view of many environmental and natural resource economists is not whether or not there is growth in the medium to long term, but what content we want Economic growth, so that it generates less environmental damage and less social inequality.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF GEOPOLITICIANS WITH GEOGRAPHIC ROOTS TO THE DELINEATION AND DEFINITION OF THE ROMANIAN NATIONAL STATE

Author(s): Silviu Neguţ,Marius-Cristian Neacşu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This study is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Romanian unitary national state, Great Romania, a much longer and complex process than it seems at first glance. Along with historical events, the geographic space and the population have played an essential role in the coagulation process of the Romanian national state. The merit of seizing and explaining these assets lies with great geopolitical-geographers such as Simion Mehedinți, Ion Conea (both were teachers at the Upper School of War, the ”Carol I” NDU precursor), Nicolae Al. Rădulescu, Vintilă Mihăilescu, Victor Tufescu and so on. These alone or in collaboration with specialists in fields such as history (Nicolae Iorga, Gheorghe Brătianu, Constantin Daicoviciu), demography and statistics (Anton Golopenția, Sabin Mănuilă), sociology (Dimitrie Gusti, Mircea Vulcănescu – the latter being also aphilosopher) have demonstrated the perfect logic of the constitution of the Romanian unitary national state. They also leaned on the essential natural components of the Romanian state,the well-known trio Carpathians - the Danube - the Black Sea, resuming the significant elements without which it would have been impossible to achieve the Great Romania.

INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT IN PUBLIC ENTITIES WITHIN THE ENERGY SECTOR

Author(s): Cristian Marinescu,Victor Adrian VEVERA,Adriana Meda Udroiu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper shows how the ISO 2700 family procedures are applied within an institution providing public services in the energy sector.SR EN ISO / IEC 27001 establishes the requirements for the assessment and treatment of information security risks and the organization adapts the requirements of its own needs.In this context, we present an analysis of the indicators characterizing an information security management system. The needs analysis within the institution leads us to conclude that there are four (4) indicators (or assessment criteria) for the energy sector in question in line with the objectives of the Information Security Policy. For these indicators, we have developed the calculation formulas required for the risk analysis we are making.

Ocena potencjału wzrostu rynku samochodów elektrycznych w Polsce do 2025 roku

Author(s): Piotr Dembiński / Language(s): English,Polish Publication Year: 0

W artykule podjęto próbę zbadania potencjału wzrostu sprzedaży samochodów elektrycznych w Polsce do 2025 roku. Dotychczas w polskich pozycjach naukowych, w przeciwieństwie do zagranicznych, skupiano się głównie na kwestiach związanych z akumulatorami w samochodach oraz na tematyce dotyczącej ochrony środowiska. Zdaniem autora w literaturze brakuje kompleksowych prób oceny wzrostu rynku aut elektrycznych w Polsce w kolejnej dekadzie. Głównym celem pracy była ocena możliwości wzrostu sprzedaży pojazdów elektrycznych w kraju do 2025 roku. W tym celu wykorzystano narzędzia ze „Strategii błękitnego oceanu”. Za pomocą kanwy strategii oraz mapy użyteczności dla nabywcy dowiedziono, że samochody elektryczne będą się rozwijać w szybkim tempie ze względu na niewielką skalę, jednakże nie staną się one do 2025 roku produktem masowym na polskich drogach.

The EU and Uzbekistan: Where to go from here?

Author(s): Michael Hall / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In 2005, following the suppression of the Andijon uprising, the European Union, alone among world powers, took a necessary and principled stance towards the regime of Uzbekistan’s President Islom Karimov. A visa ban was imposed on officials believed to be involved in the indiscriminate killing of mostly unarmed civilians, an embargo was placed on arms shipments to Uzbekistan and high-level bilateral relations were frozen. Now, almost two years later, the strain in relations appears to be taking its toll on both sides. The Uzbek government has made tentative overtures to the EU, and there are indications that some in the EU are willing to accept such overtures at face value in the rush to normalise relations, often citing security and energy concerns, as well as ‘progress’ in the sphere of human rights.

Turkmenistan and the EU: Contexts and possibilities for greater engagement

Author(s): Michael Denison / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The sudden death of Turkmenistan’s President Saparmurat Niyazov on 21 December 2006, has opened a window for engagement between the European Union and Turkmenistan. There appears to be a realisation across the Turkmen political elite that Niyazov’s style of policy micro management was unsustainable and undesirable, both in terms of its immediate outcomes and for its broader impact on political and social cohesion. Accordingly, a more balanced and predictable form of governance under President Gurbanguly Berdymuhammedov has emerged, albeit with an increasingly accented personalistic tone.

A view from the region

Author(s): Nargis Kassenova / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The German Presidency of the EU in the first half of 2007 inspired great hopes regarding the development of relations between the European Union and the states of Central Asia. In Brussels and other European capitals, it was expected that Germany, as an EU political and economic heavyweight and one of the key promoters of the Common Foreign and Security Policy, would be able to foster a coordinated Central Asian policy giving direction and coherence to European engagement in the region.

The future of the nuclear non-proliferation regime

Author(s): Gary Samore,Bruno Tertrais,Vladimir A. Orlov / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The international nuclear non-proliferation regime is presently under siege from several different directions. Among the litany of pressures and problems: • The US is considering development of a new class of nuclear weapons that could eventually require the resumption of nuclear testing, which would almost certainly set off a new round of nuclear tests by the nuclear weapons states. • Despite improvements, Russia’s security and control over its vast stocks of nuclear materials, equipment and technology remains vulnerable, and the leak of nuclear assistance to countries such as Iran remains aproblem. • Efforts to begin negotiations on a Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty (FMCT) appear hopelessly deadlocked in Geneva, with little prospect for progress in the immediate future.

Climate-Migration Nexus:Coping With Security-Oriented “Adaptation-Relocation” Approach Through Emerging Bottom-Up, Global, Subjective, And Multi-Faceted Governance

Author(s): Camille Menu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Research appears to be at an impasse on governance of environmental displacement (Hathaway 2017). Going beyond, this paper analyses mobilizations’ historicity, underlying concepts, interests, pitfalls and perspectives. This systematic review suggests that we need to shift from the security-oriented, state-led governance which the "adaptation-relocation" approach is in line with towards a subjective and multi-faceted governance scheme which conceptual framework remains uncertain, appraising the role of systemic instruments such as human rights to ensure holistic coherence.

Global Heating. The Next Factor Behind Mass Migration To Europe

Author(s): Răzvan Dacian Cârciumaru / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Climate change has brought about permanent changes in the geological, biological and ecological systems of the Earth (Sarkar & Sensarma, 2019). These changes have led to large-scale environmental risks to human health, such as extreme weather, global spread of infectious diseases, stress for food-producing systems, increased fire danger in forest areas, loss of biodiversity and ozone depletion. (Fujimori et al., 2019; Hasegawa et al., 2018).

Приложение на концепцията за „кръгова икономика“ при икономиката на отпадъците

Author(s): Mariya Petkova-Kozovska / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The current report aims to provide insight into the nature and main characteristics of the so-called ‘circular economy’ – an industrial system that is restorative or regenerative by intention and design, specifying its application in the economy of waste, too. First, the paper discusses the limits of the ‘linear’ economic model based on a ‘take-make-consume and dispose’ pattern, which nowadays proves unsustainable. The concept of the circular economy is described, as well as its origin and basic principles, which are a key to a more efficient use of resources and waste reduction. Next, the general direction and concrete steps that must be undertaken are outlined in order to be achieved an important progress towards the circular economy and to be met the current and future challenges of global pressure on resources and rising insecurity of supply. At the end of the report, the potential benefits of the circular economy are highlighted and barriers and challenges that it faces are examined.

Институции в енергетиката в България и ЕС - същност, структура, функции, цели и задачи

Author(s): Silvia Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The role of institutions in shaping energy policy of Bulgaria and the European Union is certainly very significant. Resources through which the extraction of energy required for citizens and businesses, are not inexhaustible, and therefore need to be well and wisely managed. Energy sector is of strategic importance for the EU. Europe's energy dependency, as a user of 1/5 of the generated energy in the world, from external suppliers necessitates prudent policy not only within the European Union as a whole, but also as regards each of the Member States. Of great importance for the formation of the EU energy policy are the EU institutions and those in each country.

Европейският енергиен съюз като фактор за укрепване на Европейския съюз

Author(s): Svetla Boneva / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The aim of this report is to present the essence, the main dimensions and the issues accompanying the formation of the European Energy Union. To achieve this goal, the following research tasks have been performed: the main goals of the Energy Union and the measures set by the European Union for achieving these goals have been systematized and analysed; a summary and analysis of major scientific publications on the topic is presented; the research methodology based on the content analysis is defined in concrete terms; the results of the research and discussion on them are presented. The main thesis defended in the paper considers the importance of the issue in the context of the contemporary aspirations for the decarbonisation of the European economy. The European Energy Union sets specific goals and new mechanisms for managing European energy, climate and environmental policies. The Energy Union foresees closer coordination of the actions under these policies at both EU and member states level which would lead to greater synergies of the efforts and convergence of the achievements in the energy field for the whole European territory. The establishment of the European Energy Union would be conditional upon reaching a new level of energy partnership across the EU where the competition would give way to cooperation. This is how the formation of the Energy Union would lead to strengthening of the EU.

Пораснали ли сме за следващите седем?

Author(s): Rumyana Grozeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The first 7 years are the most important. But is that enough? Undoubtedly, the future of our planet, the “greening” of thinking and action is very important. But should it be done this way? EU policies must not be an absolute end in itself. Staring at “mantras” - too. The future of a community of 27 different cultures, mentality, history, goes through constructive communication and cooperation.
