Download or read book Sustaining Cape Town written by Amy Davison and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although cities constitute the key contributors to unsustainable development, especially due to their ecological and equity impacts, they are also viewed as the vehicle for the transition to a sustainable future for humanity both in terms of technologies as well as policies and lifestyle changes. This book introduces the theoretical principles which underpin the required transition to sustainable cities in general and Cape Town in particular. The subsequent fourteen chapters tackle more specific areas of interventions and the key constraints towards realisation of related transition interventions in the city of Cape Town.
Download or read book Energy Transition in the Baltic Sea Region written by Farid Karimi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-27 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the potential for active stakeholder engagement in the energy transition in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) in order to foster clean energy deployment. Public acceptability and bottom-up activities can be critical for enduring outcomes to an energy transition. As a result, it is vital to understand how to unlock the potential for public, community and prosumer participation to facilitate renewable energy deployment and a clean energy transition – and, consequently, to examine the factors influencing social acceptability. Focussing on the diverse BSR, this book draws on expert contributions to consider a range of different topics, including the challenges of social acceptance and its policy implications; strategies to address challenges of acceptability among stakeholders; and community engagement in clean energy production. Overall, the authors examine the practical implications of current policy measures and provide recommendations on how lessons learnt from this ‘energy lab region’ may be applied to other regions. Reflecting an interdisciplinary approach in the social sciences, this book is an essential resource for scholars, students and policymakers researching and working in the areas of renewable energy, energy policy and citizen engagement, and interested in understanding the potential for bottom-up, grassroots activities and social acceptability to expedite the energy transition and reanimate democracies.

Download or read book Deploying Renewables 2011 written by International Energy Agency and published by OCDE. This book was released on 2011 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global energy system faces urgent challenges. Concerns about energy security are growing, as highlighted by the recent political turmoil in Northern Africa and the nuclear incident in Fukushima. At the same time, the need to respond to climate change is more critical than ever. Against this background, many governments have increased efforts to promote deployment of renewable energy - low-carbon sources that can strengthen energy security. This has stimulated unprecedented rise in deployment, and renewables are now the fastest growing sector of the energy mix. This "coming of age" of renewable energy also brings challenges. Growth is focused on a few of the available technologies, and rapid deployment is confined to a relatively small number of countries. In more advanced markets, managing support costs and system integration of large shares of renewable energy in a time of economic weakness and budget austerity has sparked vigorous political debate.

If our lives are to have purpose, we must press into the work of becoming abundantly ourselves. Adopting the Guild Method provides opportunity for each and every child to be mentored in ways not possible in the traditional classroom. At the core of each child’s being is some form of genius. It is the teacher’s mandate, the teacher’s joy, to awaken and cultivate this genius, paving the way for individuality to emerge.Quality education is akin to thriving ecology. Inside the classroom guild, curiosity fertilizes learning, coaxes and encourages imagination and dreams, rousing genius.

This book was released on 2013-09-04 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memorandum provides a preliminary assessment of the Climate Change Act 2008 ch. 27 (ISBN 9780105427087) The Act aims to create a legislative framework for the effective management and delivery of policies to tackle climate change, in particular by: a). establishing an economically credible emissions reduction pathway to 2050, by putting into statute medium and long-term targets and a system of carbon budgets; b). providing greater clarity and predictability for industry to plan effectively for, and invest in, a low-carbon economy; c). providing a strong evidence base and expertise to underpin statutory targets; d). establishing a duty on the Government regularly to assess the risks to the UK from climate change and draw up a programme to address them; and e. creating a power for the Government to require a range of public authorities or statutory bodies to assess and address the impacts of climate change. The memorandum concludes that the Act has created an effective legislative framework and is structured to provide a degree of flexibility, setting a framework to motivate and enable policy action without being too prescriptive about how the framework should be applied. This is required to address the inherent unpredictability around future emissions projections and to ensure that mitigation is not unnecessarily costly. In this vein, the Climate Change Act allows for a carbon budget level to be amended if it appears to Government that there have been significant changes affecting the basis on which the previous decision was made

Download or read book Solar Energy Perspectives written by Cédric Philibert and published by OECD. This book was released on 2011 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 90 minutes, enough sunlight strikes the earth to provide the entire planet's energy needs for one year. While solar energy is abundant, it represents a tiny fraction of the world's current energy mix. But this is changing rapidly and is being driven by global action to improve energy access and supply security, and to mitigate climate change. Around the world, countries and companies are investing in solar generation capacity on an unprecedented scale, and, as a consequence, costs continue to fall and technologies improve. This publication gives an authoritative view of these technologies and market trends, in both advanced and developing economies, while providing examples of the best and most advanced practices. It also provides a unique guide for policy makers, industry representatives and concerned stakeholders on how best to use, combine and successfully promote the major categories of solar energy: solar heating and cooling, photovoltaic and solar thermal electricity, as well as solar fuels. Finally, in analysing the likely evolution of electricity and energy-consuming sectors - buildings, industry and transport - it explores the leading role solar energy could play in the long-term future of our energy system.
