The European Commission has unveiled its Energy Roadmap 2050, which aims to cut emissions by over 80% by 2050 without disrupting energy supplies and competitiveness.
This roadmap attempts to lay out the future of the forest fibre industry and its potential to meet future consumer demands, stay competitive and deliver a CO2 emission reduction. This initiative addresses the European Commission roadmap, which modeled an overall industrial reduction of 80% in CO2 by 2050.
The Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) launched their publication: Rural Electrification with Renewable Energy: Technologies, Quality Standards and Business Models.
This report provides a comprehensive overview of the socio-economic impacts of the cultivation and trade of genetically modified (GM) crops, based on the latest available scientific publications.First a global overview is provided.
The European Union (EU) Commission has released a report on the socio-economic implications of the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
The EU provides its Member States with a long-term framework for dealing with the issue of sustainability and the cross-border effects of phenomena that cannot be dealt with at the national level alone. Climate change has long been recognised as one such long-term shaping factor where coherent EU action is needed, both inside the EU and internationally.
This paper is a collection of reflections from a field visit to three districts in the middle hills and Terai belt of eastern Nepal (Sunsari, Dhankuta and Morang) which set out to explore the various dimensions of the resilience of climate-affected communities.
This study from the European Commission examines the impacts of GMOs and finds that biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, pose no greater health and environmental risks than conventionally bred crops. The report presents the results of 50 projects, involving more than 400 research groups and representing European Union research grants of 200M Euros.
This document contains the brochure by EU and the European Commission, with support of Member States on specific examples of fast start funding implementation in 2010.
It presents the 1) key facts and figures on EU fast start funding 2) fast start funding in perspective 3) the EU vision on adaptation, Mitigation and REDD+.
