About the Coalition The IRENA Coalition for Action brings together leading renewable energy players from around the world with the common goal of advancing the uptake of renewable energy. The Coalition facilitates global dialogues between public and private sectors to develop actions to increase the share of renewables in the global energy mix and accelerate energy transitions. About this paper This white paper has been developed jointly by members of the Coalition’s Working Group on Decarbonising End- Use Sectors. Featuring several case studies on pioneering green hydrogen projects and first-hand interviews, the paper provides insights from a renewable energy industry perspective on the growth opportunities of green hydrogen and what is needed from policy makers to accelerate its adoption worldwide.

Its starting point is the Atlas Lingüístico de la Península Ibérica (ALPI) maps, and the paper published on them by Tomás Navarro Tomás, comparing them to those from the Atlas Lingüístico y etnográfico de Castilla-La Mancha (ALeCMan) and from the Atlas Dialectal de Madrid (ADiM). Our results allow us to confirm the unstoppable progress of the /ʎ/-/ʝ/ merger and the geographical direction of the change.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2003 ANNUAL REPORT 2003 SUMMARY Letter from the Chairman 4 FCC Group in figures: Consolidated figures 6 Services 9 Construction 35 Cement 69 Real estate 72 Other sectors 75 Environmental management 78 Personnel 82 Share figures 84 Supplementary information 86 Development and future expectations in the main sectors where the FCC Group does business 88 Board of Directors 95 Executive perssonel 96 Dear shareholders, Last fiscal year the Spanish economy continued on its path towards convergence with the European Union countries; while the gross domestic product (GDP) for the fifteen partner countries as a whole grew 0.7% in 2003, in Spain the GDP went up 2.4%, four points more than the year before. The Spanish economy’s good relative performance in 2003 was clearly mirrored by the construction sector, which experienced 3.9% growth and was by far the most dynamic of the basic sectors of the economy, thanks to the infrastructure plans the different administrations rolled out and the strong demand for new housing throughout all of Spain. In this big picture, the FCC Group’s results can be considered very good in terms of both net revenues, which rose over 10% to €6,050 million (the first time they have ever broken past one billion of the old pesetas), and profits, which went up 13.2%. Our expansion was achieved by strengthening the three basic sectors of the company that have registered significant growth in the domestic market: public services (+13.7%), construction (+16.8%) and cement (+11.4%). These percentages are more than enough to make up for lessened activity on the international market and the repercussion of the depreciation of the dollar and the other American currencies.

Fernandez Cite as: Dylan Riley and Juan J. Fernandez. (2006). “The Authoritarian Foundations of Civic Culture: Spain and Italy in Comparative Perspective.” IRLE Working Paper No. 135-06. http://irle.berkeley.edu/workingpapers/135-06.pdf irle.berkeley.edu/workingpapers The Authoritarian Foundations of Civic Culture: Spain and Italy in Comparative Perspective Dylan Riley Department of Sociology University of California, Berkeley Juan J. Fernandez University of California, Berkeley 1 Abstract What is the connection between civic autonomy and political participation? This paper assesses three answers to this question: the left Tocquevillian argument suggesting that civic autonomy encourages political participation, the right Tocquevillian argument suggesting that civic autonomy discourages political participation, and the neo-Marxist synthesis of these two positions developed by Gramsci. We investigate these competing arguments by analyzing the impact of two very different authoritarian regimes (Fascist Italy, and Francoist Spain) on post- authoritarian democratic participation. The Italian fascist regime eliminated civic autonomy, incorporating civic organizations into the party. The Franco regime, in contrast left a relatively autonomous "civic sphere" in tact. We find that Italian fascism tended to promote political participation by establishing a pattern of political behavior in which parties dominated civic associations. Spanish authoritarianism, with its more laissez faire orientation to civil society, left a legacy of deep political apathy. Paradoxically, from the perspective of the Tocquevillian left, the Fascist Italian regime produced a more 'participatory' liberal democracy, than the less Fascist Franco dictatorship.

  • Environmental Recovery of Abandoned Mining Areas in Spain: Sustainability and New Landscapes in Some Case Studies
    sustainability.hapres.com Article Environmental Recovery of Abandoned Mining Areas in Spain: Sustainability and New Landscapes in Some Case Studies Carlos J. Pardo Abad Department of Geography, Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), C/ Senda del Rey, 7, 28040 Madrid, Spain; Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The closure of open-cast mines has prompted the appearance of large, run-down and environmentally degraded spaces. Current legislation requires that such spaces, which mining marked so heavily over such long periods of time, must be restored. The measures adopted have such a wide-ranging territorial impact that they represent the creation of new landscapes in line with strict environmental sustainability criteria. Reducing slopes and banks, securing and decontaminating soils, filling the large mining holes and planting native plant species and crops have been the main solutions applied in the old mining areas. The black colour of the mines has been replaced by a new green colour in line with the natural environment, in a relatively recent and constant process that some authors relate to the concept of regenerative development, different but linked to the more traditional sustainable development. The analysis conducted in this research focuses on several Spanish cases that are highly representative, both nationally and internationally, of what the changes undertaken after mines are abandoned entail. KEYWORDS: mining areas; sustainability; landscape; environmental recovery INTRODUCTION Open Access In some of Spain’s old mining operations, major environmental measures have been taken to recover the landscape after the mine was Received: 14 February 2019 closed and abandoned. These landscapes were extraordinarily marked Accepted: 30 April 2019 by a prolonged activity that left very deep scars, barely compatible with Published: 08 May 2019 environmental and aesthetic sustainability criteria.
