Download or read book Gesti n del patrimonio familiar written by Borja Durán and published by Editorial Almuzara. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Tienes claros los conceptos de patrimonio y de familia? ¿Estás preparado para diseñar un plan estratégico que preserve e, incluso, aumente el patrimonio al mismo tiempo que cimientas las bases de una estructura y que mantenga unida a tu familia durante las próximas generaciones? Si tus respuestas son no, entonces este es el libro que te sacará de dudas. La decisión de una estirpe de poner en común recursos y alinear objetivos vitales supone un reto que va más allá de la aplicación del recetario clásico de la gestión de inversiones. Se debe reflexionar sobre estos objetivos tanto a nivel individual como familiar, puesto que así se conseguirá alinear los recursos y la energía de la familia en una dirección acorde con las metas comunes. Además, la reflexión definirá de manera explícita un sistema de valores imprescindibles para la gestión del patrimonio familiar. Para ello, habrá que recurrir a la intrahistoria de cada grupo familiar: sus antecedentes, el origen de su patrimonio, el destino o misión del mismo, los intangibles reputacionales que hay que defender, la visión particular sobre la ética, etc. Esta dimensión subjetiva y particular es, precisamente, una de las características que distinguen la gestión de patrimonios familiares frente a otras actividades de gestión fiduciaria y hace que sea un proceso dinámico que tiene que evolucionar con cada generación para evitar la tendencia natural de la separación.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Download or read book Energ a Factor Cr tico en la Sostenibilidad written by Emilio Menéndez Pérez and published by . This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El consumo mundial de energía ha crecido mucho en el último tercio del siglo XX. La extensión del uso del automóvil, la demanda de bienes intensivos en energía, y el desarrollo de los servicios, son causas de este fenómeno. Además, el crecimiento económico, necesario para la mayoría de las áreas geográficas del mundo, llevará a un incremento de la demanda energética. Esto incidirá de forma negativa en la evolución del cambio climático, con sus secuelas de desastres y migraciones. Dos tercios de la energía primaria que consumimos proviene de los hidrocarburos: petróleo y gas natural, cuyas reservas son limitadas y, aunque estas se incrementen, se prevé que a mediados de este siglo, el volumen de extracción de hidrocarburos comience a decrecer, con el consiguiente enrarecimiento de su mercado. Las reservas disponibles se concentrarán en países del mundo islámico, con quien hemos de aprender a dialogar. El sector energético precisa inversiones muy elevadas para su instalación y funcionamiento; a escala mundial supone el 3% del Producto Global Bruto, y muchos países no pueden atender la parte que en teoría les corresponde. Unos 2.000 millones de personas no tienen conexión a las redes de electricidad, tampoco acceden a otros servicios necesarios. Los cambios tecnológicos en el sistema energético, mayor presencia de las EE.RR, llevarán consigo el aumento de esa inversión, tanto en I+D como en creación de infraestructuras. Nos encontramos pues ante factores de insostenibilidad, que afectarán más a los países menos desarrollados. Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea, aumentan progresivamente su dependencia energética del exterior; las actuaciones económicas y tecnológicas de estos países pueden ayudar a sustentar la estructura social y energética del mundo, pero deben comenzar ya, es necesario un cambio de modelo de comportamiento energético.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Book excerpt: Use of and trade in wildlife is a fact of life for human society around the globe. Article IV of the CITES Convention requires that exporting countries restrict trade in Appendix II species to levels that are not detrimental either to species? survival, or to their role within the ecosystems in which they occur (known as the ?non-detriment finding?). Based on two workshops convened by IUCN to develop some pragmatic assistance for Scientific Authorities, this publication presents the background to the development of the non-detriment finding checklist and explains how the checklist itself is designed to work, in the hope that Scientific Authority staff will take and develop the parts of the approach that they find useful.
