  • TOWARDS a SCIENCE-BASED APPROACH to CLIMATE NEUTRALITY in the CORPORATE SECTOR Discussion Paper
    TOWARDS A SCIENCE-BASED APPROACH TO CLIMATE NEUTRALITY IN THE CORPORATE SECTOR Discussion paper Draft for initial feedback - Version 1.0 September, 2019 Alberto Carrillo Pineda, Pedro Faria ABSTRACT The Special Report on 1.5°C (SR15) released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2018 confirmed that, in order to limit global warming to 1.5°C, we need to reach net-zero CO emissions at the global level by mid-century. Since then, the concept of ​2 net-zero emissions has been gaining prominence in the climate policy and climate action arena with a number of countries and non-state actors increasingly setting long-term goals to reach net-zero emissions. According to the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU), by August 2019, nearly 20 ​ countries had agreed to set long-term pathways to reach net-zero emissions, and some of them had already net-zero legislation in place (Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom and France). In the corporate sector, by September, 2019, over 50 companies had committed to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 as part of the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign. ​ ​ 1 To date, the concept of climate neutrality in the corporate sector has been approached in different, and sometimes divergent ways. The various approaches to climate neutrality differ in at least four aspects: (1) the time frame of the target (e.g. short vs long-term targets); (2) the scope of the activities included in the target (e.g. operational emissions vs value-chain emissions); (3) the climate impacts from those activities (e.g.

  • Biomass Carbon Neutrality
    Biomass Carbon Neutrality Position As EPA continues to consider how to regulate biogenic CO2 emissions, International Paper (IP) urges policymakers and the EPA to recognize our biomass use as carbon neutral. The efficient use of biomass residuals for energy produced and used by IP enables us to manufacture paper-based products people use every day while yielding significant carbon benefit. Policy Request International Paper encourages the Senate and the House to support a potential biomass carbon amendment to the Interior Appropriations bill and potential year-end omnibus package IP’s Efficient Use of Carbon Neutral Biomass Forest and manufacturing residuals are integral to manufacturing IP’s products and our primary energy source. A study by the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI) shows substantial benefits in using manufacturing residuals for energy by the forest products industry. The industry’s use of biomass avoids the emissions of 218 million metric tons of CO2 annually - equivalent to removing over 40 million cars from the road. By procuring wood from suppliers who certify their forest sustainability, IP voluntarily contributes to a successful market-based system of biomass use in the U.S. that perpetuates positive carbon benefits and co- benefits including: Efficient use of forest and manufacturing residuals through combined heat-and-power (CHP) Reduction of fossil fuel and related GHG emissions at IP – down 16% since 2010 Limiting emissions of other GHGs, like methane, that could occur from residue disposal Robust recycling of paper fiber to reuse valuable biomass resources Employment of 32,000 people throughout the United States International Paper’s Role in the Carbon Cycle How Does the EPA View Biomass Carbon Neutrality? The carbon neutrality of biomass that is harvested from sustainably managed forests has been recognized repeatedly by numerous studies, agencies, institutions, legislation and rules around the world.

  • The Ecological and Inclusive Transition Towards Carbon Neutrality
    The ecological and inclusive transition towards carbon neutrality Summary March 2020 1 THE ECOLOGICAL AND INCLUSIVE TRANSITION TOWARDS CARBON NEUTRALITY The National Low-Carbon Strategy Implemented via the law of 17 August 2015 relating to energy transition for green growth, the National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC) serves as France’s policymaking road map in terms of climate change mitigation. It is one of the two prongs of French climate policy, along with the National Adaptation to Climate Change Plan: This second edition of the SNBC puts into action the Government’s ambition, presented in July 2017 via the Climate Plan and enshrined in the law (n° 2019-1147 of 8th November 2019 relating to energy and climate), to accelerate the implementation of the Paris Agreement by setting a target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 within French territories, this being understood as achieving a balance between anthropogenic emissions and anthropogenic absorption of greenhouse gas, i.e. that which is absorbed by the natural environment managed by man (forest land, grassland, agricultural soils, wetlands, etc.) and certain industrial procedures (carbon capture, storage and reuse). On the basis of a forward-looking trajectory to 2050, it defines short- and medium-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets for France: carbon budgets. These are greenhouse gas emission ceilings not to be exceeded at the national level over five-year periods, expressed in millions of tons of CO2 equivalent1. It is consistent with France’s commitments to the European Union under the Paris Agreement, as well as national commitments including the 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2030 compared to 1990.

The aim of this paper is, on the basis of available data from regional databases and through the use of appropriate methodological apparatus, to draw attention to the development of Slovak regions’ structural employment proportion on the total employment according to the sectors of agriculture, industry, construction and services in the time period from 2004 to 2012. The article examined the similarity of regions in terms of structural employment through cluster analysis at NUTS 2 level. Counties are grouped into four mutually similar clusters. Keywords: employment, region, disparity The overall situation in the labour market is affected by experiencing a migration loss. On the other hand, there is the labour supply which is conditioned by development an increasing migration to the Bratislava region. Nižňanský and non-economic factors (demographic and social ones (2007) stresses that economic development and thereby in particular). Another factor affecting the labour market solution of regional disparities between regions and also situation is demand for labour, which is determined by within regions is not a task for the national governments technological and economic implications arising from the primarily. The approach is different in different countries and use of labour in combination with other production factors.
