Download or read book L art de gouverner la qualit de l air written by Franck Boutaric and published by Presses universitaires de Rennes. This book was released on 2022-03-02 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les impacts environnementaux et sanitaires de la pollution atmosphérique constituent une question d’intérêt public. Dès lors on comprend toute l’attention qu’il convient d’accorder aux actions publiques censées améliorer la qualité de l’air. Dans la perception des risques et leurs mises sur agenda par les pouvoirs publics, les instruments élaborés par les institutions internationales exercent un rôle important. En France, depuis les années 1970, on observe des changements substantiels dans la définition et le contenu de la politique publique de lutte contre la pollution de l’air, mais le cadrage de la gouvernance de la qualité de l’air oublie et ignore des politiques qui permettraient que chacun puisse respirer un air qui ne nuise pas à sa santé. Un ouvrage utile pour ceux qui recherchent une synthèse des connaissances sur ce domaine d’action publique et qui veulent porter une réflexion sur une question sanitaire d’importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A l'occasion des dix ans de la loi sur l'air et l'utilisation rationnelle de l'énergie (LAURE), le Premier ministre, Dominique de Villepin a nommé Philippe Richert, sénateur du Bas-Rhin, parlementaire en mission auprès de Nelly Olin, ministre de l'Ecologie et du Développement durable, pour faire le bilan de l'application de cette loi et proposer les évolutions souhaitables. Dans son rapport. Philippe Richert dresse un constat : grâce à la LAURE, une France active s'est, au cours des dix dernières années, mise en marche pour une reconquête de la qualité de l'air, mais avec des lacunes et en ordre dispersé. Or dans les prochaines décennies, la France de l'atmosphère sera confrontée à des enjeux bien plus importants. Une mobilisation commune sur les deux thématiques " air et climat " est incontournable et concerne l'ensemble des modes de production, de consommation et de déplacement Principalement issus des mêmes sources, la pollution de l'air et le changement climatique ne seront enrayés que par une gestion intégrée et une nouvelle gouvernante de l'atmosphère Philippe Richert met en exergue deux principes de gestion : d'une part la transparence des choix sanitaires et économiques liés a la pollution, d'autre part la nécessité d'une approche intégrée associée à une réelle gouvernante. Il fait trois propositions : une nouvelle loi sur l'environnement atmosphérique (IFA), une construction nationale et locale de la gouvernance " air et climat ", un accompagnement indispensable par l'information, la formation et l'éducation. Il développe quatre thématiques trente-cinq mesures à mettre en œuvre par la planification, la surveillance, la fiscalité et la recherche.

Download or read book Management nerg tique dans le cadre d une politique de d veloppement durable written by Cécile Blain and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le cadre de la politique de développement durable du groupe Sanofi-Aventis, le projet développé ici concerne le management énergétique sur un site pharmaceutique implanté au Royaume-Uni. Ce travail traite du développement durable, ainsi que l'implication de l'industrie pharmaceutique. Elle décrit l'utilisation du bilan énergétique dans un double but de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et de renforcement de la compétitivité. Cette étude consiste à réaliser une estimation des coûts liés à la consommation des énergies lors de la production d'un lot. Le résultat de l'étude menée sur 3 spécialités montre que le traitement d'air est responsable d'environ 30% des coûts. La suite du projet a pour objectif d'économiser l'énergie en réduisant le flux d'air lorsque les zones de production sont inoccupées. Ceci est intéressant le week-end dans les zones sans production, ni produit au contact de l'air; particulièrement lorsque l'installation ne comporte pas de recyclage de l'air.

Download or read book Russian Energy Chains written by Margarita M. Balmaceda and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia’s use of its vast energy resources for leverage against post-Soviet states such as Ukraine is widely recognized as a threat. Yet we cannot understand this danger without also understanding the opportunity that Russian energy represents. From corruption-related profits to transportation-fee income to subsidized prices, many within these states have benefited by participating in Russian energy exports. To understand Russian energy power in the region, it is necessary to look at the entire value chain—including production, processing, transportation, and marketing—and at the full spectrum of domestic and external actors involved, from Gazprom to regional oligarchs to European Union regulators. This book follows Russia’s three largest fossil-fuel exports—natural gas, oil, and coal—from production in Siberia through transportation via Ukraine to final use in Germany in order to understand the tension between energy as threat and as opportunity. Margarita M. Balmaceda reveals how this dynamic has been a key driver of political development in post-Soviet states in the period between independence in 1991 and Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. She analyzes how the physical characteristics of different types of energy, by shaping how they can be transported, distributed, and even stolen, affect how each is used—not only technically but also politically. Both a geopolitical travelogue of the journey of three fossil fuels across continents and an incisive analysis of technology’s role in fossil-fuel politics and economics, this book offers new ways of thinking about energy in Eurasia and beyond.

Book excerpt: This open access book is focused on the intersection between urban brownfields and the sustainability transitions of metreopolitan areas, cities and neighbourhoods. It provides both a theoretical and practical approach to the topic, offering a thorough introduction to urban brownfields and regeneration projects as well as an operational monitoring tool. Neighbourhoods in Transition begins with an overview of historic urban development and strategic areas in the hearts of towns to be developed. It then defines several key issues related to the topic, including urban brownfields, regeneration projects, and sustainability issues related to neighbourhood development. The second part of this book is focused on support tools, explaining the challenges faced, the steps involved in a regeneration process, and offering an operational monitoring tool. It applies the unique tool to case studies in three selected neighbourhoods and the outcomes of one case study are also presented and discussed, highlighting its benefits. The audience for this book will be both professional and academic. It will support researchers as an up-to-date reference book on urban brownfield regeneration projects, and also the work of architects, urban designers, urban planners and engineers involved in sustainability transitions of the built environment.

This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication examines the risks associated with the release of excessive nitrogen into the environment (climate change, depletion of the ozone layer, air pollution, water pollution, loss of biodiversity, deterioration of soil quality). The report also examines the uncertainty associated with the ability of nitrogen to move from one ecosystem to another and cause "cascading effects". In addition to better management of nitrogen risks at the local level, there is a need to consider the global risks associated with the continued increase in nitrous oxide concentrations and to prevent excess nitrogen in all its forms by developing cost-effective strategies for all its sources. Other than the reduction of nitrogen pollution, this report provides guidance on the use of nitrogen policy instruments and how to ensure coherence with objectives such as food security, energy security and environmental objectives.
