International Energy Agency Website: www.iea.org Foreword As it grapples with the unprecedented health emergency triggered by the Covid‐19 pandemic, the world is experiencing its worst economic shock since the 1930s. This is having a severe impact on employment and investment across all parts of the economy, including energy. Governments have taken the lead in providing urgent financial and economic relief to prevent the crisis from spiralling further downward. Today, attention is increasingly focusing on how to bring about an economic recovery that repairs the damage inflicted by the crisis while putting the world on a stronger footing for the future. Since the scale of the economic crisis began to emerge, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has been leading the calls for governments to make the recovery as sustainable and resilient as possible. This means immediately addressing the core issues of global recession and soaring unemployment – and doing so in a way that also takes into account the key challenge of building cleaner and more secure energy systems. At the IEA, we quickly re‐focused the work of our analytical teams across the Agency on the shocks caused by the crisis to global energy demand, assessing the impact across all major fuels including oil, gas, coal, electricity and renewables. We then quantified and examined the staggering effects in key areas, such as the unparalleled 20% plunge in global energy investment that is expected this year. And now, we are identifying the most effective measures available to governments as they consider their once‐in‐a‐lifetime recovery plans. The Sustainable Recovery Plan proposed in this report is the result. The Sustainable Recovery Plan is not intended to tell governments what they must do. It seeks to show them what they can do. Whether countries choose to follow the measures laid out in the plan remains their sovereign choice. Our plan – a combination of policy actions and targeted investments – offers a hugely encouraging picture of what the world can achieve despite the tremendous difficulties we face today. As they design economic recovery plans, policy makers are having to make enormously consequential decisions in a very short space of time. These decisions will shape economic and energy infrastructure for decades to come and will almost certainly determine whether the world has a chance of meeting its long‐term energy and climate goals. Our Sustainable Recovery Plan shows governments have a unique opportunity today to boost economic growth, create millions of new jobs and put global greenhouse gas emissions into structural decline. The IEA’s work is designed to provide the world’s top decision‐makers in government, industry and the investment community with the strongest possible data, analysis and options to enable them choose the best path forward. With this in mind, we are bringing all of these groups together at the IEA Clean Energy Transitions Summit on 9 July 2020 in an effort to identify how to step up actions that achieve real‐world results. A sustainable recovery is within our reach – I hope the grand coalition of global energy leaders we are assembling will seize this opportunity.

  • Scottish Disability Sport - the First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword
    Scottish Disability Sport - The First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword I was delighted to be asked by Chief Executive Gavin Macleod to record the first fifty years of Scottish Disability Sport, to mark the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Association. Initially the project was intended to be small but the more I researched, the more it brought back memories of great athletes, superb volunteers and great times. I became determined to try and do justice to as many as those great people as possible. I am certain I shall have forgotten key people in the eyes of others and if so I apologise profusely. For almost four decades SDS has been for me a way of life. The volunteers I have had the pleasure of working with for almost three decades are those I remember with great fondness, particularly during the early years. I applaud the many athletes who contributed to the rich history and success of SDS over fifty years. Outstanding volunteers like Bob Mitchell, Mary Urquhart, David Thomson, Jean Stone, Chris Cohen and Colin Rains helped to develop and sustain my passion for disability sport. I have been privileged to work with exceptional professionals like Ken Hutchison, Derek Casey, Liz Dendy, Paul Bush, Bob Price, Louise Martin, Sheila Dobie, Fiona Reid, Eddie McConnell, Gavin MacLeod, Mary Alison, Heather Lowden, Lawrie Randak, Tracey McCillen, Archie Cameron and many others whose commitment to inclusive sport has been obvious and long lasting. I thank Jean Stone, Jacqueline Lynn, Heather Lowden, Maureen Brickley and Paul Noble who acted as “readers” during the writing of the history and Norma Buchanan for administrative support at important stages.

    Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti Vol. LXII Economic Sciences 103-110 BULLETIN No. 4/2010 Series LUKOIL’s Market Strategy in Central and Eastern Europe Mihaela Oprea Ciopi Petroleum-Gas University of Ploieşti, Bd. Bucureşti 39, Ploieşti, Romania e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The economic environment has undergone significant development over the past 20 years marked, in particular, by the globalization of the economy and increased competitiveness. The large oil corporations significantly influence national economies and the global economy in general, as a result of their huge financial power and their profit-oriented corporate management, by identifying the most appropriate strategies and the most effective methods of business management . Currently, oil market in Central and Eastern Europe is controlled by three major players: the Austrian OMV, Hungarian MOL company and the Russian company LUKOIL, whose investment strategies and policies contributed to a decisive extent to the development and consolidation of oil industry in the countries in this area, thus in Romania too. In this context, the paper aims to analyze the strategy of developing and consolidating LUKOIL’s position on this market. Key words: strategic alliance, a global energy player, offensive strategy, territorial expansion JEL Classification: M10 Introduction The greatest oil corporations significantly influence national economies and the global economy in general, the effect of their huge financial power and corporate management oriented to increase profit by identifying the most appropriate strategies and the most effective methods of business management. These elements underpin the development of management as a science and was later taken over and adapted by national companies.

These successes combined together have to be one of the greatest ever achievements in sport, and one of which you should all be immensely proud. The performances of everyone, athletes and support staff, regardless of medal success, have been inspirational. Looking ahead we have continued to progress the Project Rio submission to UK Sport for 2013-2017 and are making good progress, and I am confident we will get a good settlement in December for both our Olympic and Paralympic Programmes. I’m conscious that there has been speculation about the future structure of GBCT, and having reflected on this over the past week or so, I feel it is really important that I get a more detailed insight into people’s thoughts about the future, and how we continue to sustain this success for Rio and beyond.

    THE ‘OLYMPIC CYCLING EFFECT’ A REPORT PREPARED FOR SKY AND BRITISH CYCLING SEPTEMBER 2012 THE ‘OLYMPIC CYCLING EFFECT’ | A REPORT PREPARED FOR SKY APPROACH The continued successes of Team GB’s cyclists have been mirrored by an increasing participation in cycling in the UK, but little research exists quantifying its possible influence. This paper attempts to bridge this gap, incorporating both secondary and primary research, with the latter carried out before and after the London 2012 Olympics via a nationally representative sample. This measured the impact of London 2012 on cycling in the UK across a number of key variables: participation, consumer spending and factors inspiring the UK to take embrace two-wheels. The ‘before and after’ results were compared to assess if the ‘Olympic Effect’ appeared to be influencing these elements of UK cycling. SUMMARY This research is one of the first attempts to measure the ‘Olympic Cycling Effect’ of Team GB’s medal winning success in the build up to and post London 2012. This includes measuring the potential impact from increased participation by existing cyclists, the up- take by inspired new groups, and increased consumer spending and support for better cycling facilities across the country. The results indicate a significant up-lift in the number of non-cyclists who have been motivated to take up the activity as a result of Team GB’s golden summer. This appears to be particularly evident amongst parents willing to support their children in taking up cycling. Another consistent theme emerging throughout the research has been the increased level of cyclists across all segments taking up the activity for fun with family and friends, providing further evidence that elite sporting success has increased awareness of cycling: a pre cursor to influencing participation.
