About this book

"The third installment of the 'European Public Investment Outlook' series is an important and timely publication that draws together recent analyses to recommend significant increases in public investment in green ventures. Compelling data from key economists affiliated with international organizations like the International Monetary Fund, European Investment Bank and the European Commission, as well as academic departments and policy institutes are a clarion call for green investment to boost the economy and put the planet on a sustainable path. Like its predecessors, the book presents the issues in a lucid and navigable manner. Part I explores the EU's current levels of green public investment, as well as the challenges ahead in achieving net zero carbon emissions after years of decreasing funding and the obstacles presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The public investment trends of France, Germany, Italy and Spain are systematically evaluated, as well as the REPowerEU policy - accelerated in Spring 2022 - to move away from Russia's supply of fossil fuels. Part II focuses on the investment needed for green transition; the important economic and fiscal effects and benefits this would bring; and the reality of what is required before 2030 to achieve the EU's carbon-neutral targets by 2050. Greening Europe is essential reading for economists, environmentalists, and policymakers. It should also be of interest to anyone who wants to understand the cost implications of the 'carbon-neutral' policies that governments have promised, and the urgent need to change our approach towards energy usage."--Publisher's website.

Architectures et espaces de la conservation (1959-2015)

Nathalie Simonnot, Rosine Lheureux (dirs

Les bâtiments des centres d'archives, des bibliothèques et des musées fonctionnent comme des espaces de conservation et de présentation des collections. Présentant une diversité de formes architecturales et de modes de fonctionnement, réalisés à différentes périodes et susceptibles de transformations régulières, ils forment un corpus difficilement saisissable. Il s?agit donc, au travers d?études de cas et d?approches comparatives, de favoriser les croisements et les échanges sur plus de cinquante ans d?architecture de la conservation en France.

Guidebook of practices for improving environmental performance at small airports

Robert W. McGormley ... [et al

TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 43: Guidebook of Practices for Improving Environmental Performance at Small Airports outlines federal environmental regulations and requirements, and identifies activities in which airport operators can be proactive in promoting environmental stewardship. As a quick reference, summary graphics provide information pertaining to the cost and savings as well as the necessary knowledge and amount of time to implement a particular activity. In addition, there are five case studies that discuss environmental initiatives already undertaken at airports that can serve as a guide for other airports. The report includes the collection of environmental stewardship practices in a searchable, filterable spreadsheet format on a CD-ROM, which is packaged with the report. The CD-ROM included as part of ACRP Report 43 is also available for download from TRB's website as an ISO image.

Financial Networks

Anna Nagurney, Stavros Siokos

Financial analysis is concerned with the study of capital flows over time and space. This book presents a new theory of multi-sector, multi-instrument financial systems based on the visualization of such systems as networks. The framework is both qualitative and computational and depends crucially on the methodologies of finite-dimensional variational inequality theory for the study of statics and equilibrium states and on projected dynamical systems for the study of dynamics and disequilibrium behavior. Moreover, it adds a graphical dimension to the fundamental economic structure of financial systems and their evolution through time.

Water policy

P. Howsam and R.C. Carter

Much has been written and discussed about appropriate sustainable water policy options. However, putting fine ideas into practice is easier said than done, in view of the multiple and complex factors involved. This book takes a look at some of the successes and failures of actual implementation of modern water policy options. It is an attempt to share real practical experience at all levels - local, regional, national and international.
