The country is now shifting from a feed-in tariff system to a competitive bidding process to add 300MW more solar. During a recent tender, the prices were 40 per cent lower than the offer, reflecting strong private sector interest. Auctions provide regulatory certainty to investors, while also supporting “real price” discovery. In 2016, India awarded solar projects in at least 13 different auctions that amount to 6.500MW at approximately $73/MWh.

There are guidelines on carrying out environmental impact studies for controlled landfill projects. They apply to the three landfill categories set out in section 48 of Law No. Since up to 80 per cent of waste is made up of organic matter, very large compactions are carried out, despite the compaction during the application phase. Large quantities of leachates are produced and they contain large quantities of salt, which requires specific treatment.

This type of economic impact analysis focuses on how a specific state of, orchangesin, goods and services provided by natural and cultural heritage affects the economy in terms of income and job creation (direct and indirect), taxes and economic output. Economic impact analyses are commonly based on input-output models that capture the direct, indirect and induced impacts on a local economy. In addition, the forestry sector may face costs associated with wood scarcity and/or increased timber prices. This type of reduced economic activity may also have direct and indirect impacts at local or regional levels -while large conservation programs may even have national level impacts.

ABSTRACTThis study investigated deference to scientific authority [Brossard, D., & Nisbet, M. C. (2007). Deference to scientific authority among a low information public: Understanding U.S. opinion on agricultural biotechnology. International Journal of Public Opinion Research, 19, 24–52] as it relates to support for science across eight sociocultural domains: the economy, the environment, epistemology, science education for all, public health, race and gender, public policy, and science and religion [Cobern, W. W., & Loving, C. C. (2002). Investigation of preservice elementary teachers’ thinking about science. Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 39, 1016–1031]. Results revealed that both increased deference to scientific authority and increased support for science were associated with greater science education and lower religious attendance and revealed two underlying dimensions: an epistemic dimension, combining the deference, epistemology, and science and religion scales, and differing based on re...

The ratio of natural regeneration to planting has increased but remains one of the lowest in Europe. Despite progress in recent years, Poland has less deadwood in its forests than most other EU countries. Some forest types, notably alluvial forests, have not been adequately protected, resulting in reduced populations of some protected forest birds, such as black grouse.

Work in these situations and the work-human development link take on different dimensions in such exceptional states of emergency. With increasing degrees of violence, human priorities change in the sense that survival and physical integrity of the self and family members become higher priorities than economic needs. Work can help with peace building, and unemployment, when overlapping with other social discontent, can be destabilizing.

These municipalities are eligible to access National Health Foundation (Fundagao Nacional de Saude, FUNASA) funds, a federal programme that makes funds available for municipalities or rural areas below 50 000 inhabitants. Currently, there are 20 projects financed by the FUNASA, for which the CAREN carries out the execution of the construction. However, even with the funds made available by the FUNASA, sometimes municipalities are not able to submit projects.

Tarozzi (2007) argues that such reweighting produces comparable outcome distributions. Depvar= 1 is defined as being in a sample of interest, or “target” sample, which, in this case, means the sample of PISA students in 2000. Depvar equals 0 for students sampled in 2003 or 2006, depending on a comparison made. Conditional probabilities are estimated using logit regression with a set of student and family characteristics defined in the same way in all waves of the PISA survey, and recoded to have similar categories.

Participation requires the elimination of power differentials by challenging systemic inequalities. Thus, participation, as part of the four-dimensional substantive equality framework, requi res similar attention to the other dimensions -red ressing disadvantage, addressing stigma, prejudice and stereotyping, and transformation - because without these, inequality persists and full participation cannot occur. Particular attention must be paid to the underlying gender relations of the groups or individuals involved. States should take into account the different experiences of women and men and gender power relations in the community.

Israel currently relies on a crude measure of disadvantage that identifies individuals as “low socio-economic status” on the basis of their entitlement to income support (such as unemployment benefits, pensions and family supplements). Moving beyond this categorisation and making quality indicators available by key dimensions of inequality such as geography, language and religion would help provide a richer picture of where disadvantage concentrates. This is likely to be a considerable task involving further recording or matching health information to other social data held by the government. In the short term, disaggregating quality information that is already being collected by region would help better map the geography of disadvantage than is possible today and help pinpoint which areas have room for improvement.

Increased mining activity in Chile, Australia and Mexico is primarily driving this trend. But the fact that domestic consumption of metals in OECD countries is growing more slowly than extraction (66% vs. 103%) indicates that a large portion of extraction is being exported outside of the OECD area. In most OECD countries, the economic slowdown caused material extraction and consumption to flatten or decrease (in some cases significantly).

Decentralisation may also have raised barriers to internal trade and the movement of factors of production because of weak administration and delays in document processing. The use of trade-distorting, revenue-raising measures by local governments increases the consumer price of goods, reduces competitiveness and discourages investment. Partly because of the resulting “compartmentalism” in the economy and the higher transactions costs for most economic activities caused by these activities, there is much donor interest and activity in improving local governance, including agricultural extension services and water and irrigation management (Box 2.1).

In South Africa, where the legacy of HIV and AIDS created a relatively high level of state social provisioning, the Child Support Grant, a means-tested but otherwise unconditional cash grant given to a child’s primary caregiver, is unique in that it targets caregivers of any sex (Budlender and Lund 2011, Razavi 2007,2011). Other programmes, such as those in Chile and Mexico, target early childhood education to encourage parental employment, particularly among mothers, via providing direct subsidies to private and quasi-public service providers on behalf of low-income households (Staab and Gerhard 2011). Its approach is built on the right to basic social citizenship and includes universal education and health care, as well as expanding the reach of social insurance by wideningthe scope of its contributors and providing protections for those unable to contribute (UNRISD 20io).Total spending on social insurance is high, family allowances have been around for more than 30 years and there is a lot of solidarity for redistribution (ibid). At the same time, there has been an increase in the proportion of poor households headed by women since the 1990s, a seemingly counter-intuitive outcome.

Comparability is a concern also in terms of time: over time, data may not be available or the original measurement may no longer be relevant to guide decisions, for instance because of changes in the institutional setting.

However, progress in approving accredited entities to the GCF is relatively slow (in May 2016 there were 33 accredited entities and the majority of these were international or regional institutions) and there are still many countries that need readiness support to assist them with this process (by May 2016 42 countries had received readiness support from the GCF) (GCF, 2016b). A recent analysis of the lessons learned from direct access to the Adaptation Fund and the GCF reveals that although the time to get accredited varies widely among the different countries (from 5 months for Uruguay to 30 months for Namibia and Kenya), however, countries report that the process was “beneficial in the long run” (Masullo et al, 2015). Development co-operation providers can continue to invest in readiness support for partner countries so that they can access climate finance at scale and use it to implement transformative actions to address climate change and achieve sustainable development.

We offer a critique of Canada's approach to domestic food security with respect to international agreements, justiciability and case law, the breakdown of the public safety net, the institutionalisation of charitable approaches to food insecurity, and the need for 'joined-up' food and nutrition policies. We examined Canada's commitments to the right to food, as well as Canadian policies, case law and social trends, in order to assess Canada's performance with respect to the human right to food. We found that while Canada has been a leader in signing international human rights agreements, including those relating to the right to food, domestic action has lagged and food insecurity increased. We provide recommendations for policy changes that could deal with complex issues of state accountability, social safety nets and vulnerable populations, and joined-up policy frameworks that could help realise the right to adequate food in Canada and other developed nations.

But to narrow the gap to the international frontier will require not only a higher share of competitive funding, but also further improvements to the governance and strategic capabilities of universities and other research organisations.

Figure 9 shows the personal income tax and overall tax wedge (which also takes into account both social security contributions and transfers) progression on average in the OECD, at different income levels and for different family types.10 Looking at Panel A, progressivity is highest at the bottom of the income scale and declines with income for all family types. Tax wedge progressivity is generally lower than PIT progressivity since the tax wedge includes social security contributions, which are typically levied at a flat rate. Moreover, tax wedge progression is lower than the average PIT progression for families without children because the latter tend not to receive benefits, which also tend to be targeted at low income levels. This explains in part the higher rate of tax wedge progressivity than of personal income tax at low levels.

Moreover, they find that people with more than one type of poverty have socio-economic features that are distinct from people who are not poor, or are poor in only one measure. They conclude that using a combination of poverty measures is more secure, in terms of finding the "real poor", than the use of single measures. Nolan and Whelan (2011), when analysing the European Union's poverty reduction measure (The EU 2020 Poverty Target) suggest that combining relative income poverty and material deprivation and focusing on the group where they overlap is worth consideration because such a measure can serve as a way of distinguishing a sub-set of the population deserving priority in framing antipoverty policy. Also Roche's study on multidimensional child poverty in Bangladesh shows that results based on wealth measures are considerably different to those obtained with multidimensional poverty measures.

The 2008/09 budget circular paved the way for institutionalising gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) and suggested that data should be disaggregated by sex. In 2008, a gender report containing specific budget allocations for women was annexed to the national budget for the first time, making it an official government document. The government moved from line-item budgeting to gender-responsive, performance-based budgeting in all national budgets in 2010, following a pilot project in the 2009/10 budget that initially introduced gender-sensitive budgeting in a gradual and decentralised approach in 15 govemorates and six target sectors: education, health, water resources and irrigation, labour, social security, and food supplies.

Moreover, certificates and labels like the Green Key, awarded to tourism enterprises that assert for instance that they use of organic food/ beverages and green household products (e.g. detergents), must rely on the respondent's honesty. It is always, therefore, a point to consider whether the people in charge are in fact replying truthfully. Lastly, it is possible that small and medium-sized enterprises may not be able to cope with the costs incurred by becoming more eco-friendly, despite governmental subsidies, which could mean that it is the large enterprises who reap the above-mentioned benefits while the smaller ones struggle to survive. Environmentally conscious transport companies may profit from mitigation, and in more general terms the providers of eco-labelled services may expect a growth in demand.

In consequence, the number of urban dwellers practising open defecation increased from 140 million to 169 million between 1990 and 2008.47 The impact of this practice in densely populated urban settlements is particularly alarming for public health. Congested and unsanitary conditions make urban slums particularly high-risk areas for communicable diseases, including cholera. Yet patterns of deprivation differ. While Blantyre exhibits greater levels of poverty than adjacent areas, Lilongwe is a relatively well-off urban centre surrounded by poorer regions, but also showing pockets of poverty (isolated darker areas) within its limits.

As a fact-based management approach, its successful implementation will require timely and reliable cross-disciplinary information in order to establish baselines, monitor changes, and support decision-making towards social, economic and environmental sustainability. Data availability and quality issues often constrain the accuracy of assessment results. Moreover, management action lags behind assessment conclusions.

Nevertheless, the survey Encuesta de Caracterizacion Social y Economica (CASEN, 2013) provides useful information about living conditions and asks respondents about the last educational level attended by their parents. Father’s education can be used as a proxy of family background as it is highly correlated with income and other traits that influence offspring's careers. The wage premium is the boost in wages associated with having a father who attended college instead of just medium education.

The benefits were evident in 2010 when Myanmar was struck by a storm of comparable strength - cyclone Giri. The Government also asked the United Nations and its humanitarian partners to remain on standby. This helped keep the number of casualties to a minimum.3 Nepal - In 2014 two adjacent river basins, Kamali and Babai, experienced their worst floods in living memory.

Unlike the right to food and housing, the right to water was not expressly acknowledged in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ('UDHR') or the subsequent International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights ('ICESCR'). This omission generated debate about whether a human right to water exists at international law.

The act of internationalization of a city could itself spur new service activities as people bring in new ideas of how to remove bottlenecks or increase efficiency. An important spin-off benefit could include improved public support for provision of education and health services. While Kazakhstan, as is the case for other countries in the subregion, inherited high literacy rates and basic health services from the centrally planned economy, it has been a long and difficult task to maintain past achievements while creating education and health services better attuned to a modern market-based economy.

It also features individual accountability, which means that team success depends on individual learning, not group products. Curriculum has to be thought of as both catering to significant individual differences and being able to stretch each learner to just beyond his or her self-defined capacity (Dumont, Istance and Benavides, 2010). However, given the cross-country variation in who has responsibility for curricula, it is difficult to provide clear policy direction on curricula at the school level. Co-operative learning methods, which involve the teacher placing students within the same class in small, temporary groups with mixed abilities focusing on tasks that require them to rely on each other's skills, tend to work equally well for all types of students (Slavin, 2010).

Since the full capacity is not likely to be utilized, we multiply the projected emissions by the reported average ratio of captured C02 to total capacity for Sleipner and Snohvit from 2008 to 2014 (75.9%). The capacity of each project is scaled according to the average capacity utilization at Sleipner and Snahvit 2008-2014. In orderto calculate the net abatement potential, we subtract the baseline in Table 7 excluding EOR-based projects, since C02 used for EOR is not guaranteed to be permanently sequestered.

This article notes the judgment in Sophocleous v Secretary of State for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, in which the High Court dealt with the law applicable to civil claims arising out of alleged acts of torture committed by British military and security services in the colony of Cyprus in the 1950s. The judgment is important because it sheds light on some underexplored corners of choice of law (law governing the external aspects of vicarious liability and of accessory liability in tort) and reaches the conclusion, which runs against the grain of other recent judgments given in civil claims brought against the Crown for the external exercise of governmental authority, that English law governs.

Groundwater quality can also be affected by contamination of saline water intrusions. A total of EUR 1.6 million was devoted to water from EU Structural Funds received in 2000-06. In particular, capacity building of regional environmental administration has received support from Structural Funds, especially in the South (e.g. a task force of 150 experts to support regional environmental authorities and ARPAs). The number of central government authorities involved in water policy making is a useful indicator of the level of institutional fragmentation, although it has limitations and needs to be appraised in a dynamic way.

Remedier a ces lacunes est la recommandation prioritaire de cet Examen. Faute d’investissements appropries dans ces domaines, il est extremement difficile d’ameliorer la productivite et la competitivite, et d’assurer un developpement durable de l’agriculture. Si davantage de moyens ont ete affectes a ces domaines ces dernieres annees, beaucoup reste a faire cependant. La dispersion geographique tres marquee des activites agricoles au Kazakhstan impose a priori des couts plus eleves qui sont encore alourdis par l’insuffisance des infrastructures de transport. Ces deux dernieres decennies, le gouvernement a mene des efforts importants pour creer de grands axes de communication.

The three diseases that resulted in the greatest number of lost life years in 2013 were all related to air pollution. Reducing the exposure to air pollution of children at home during early development would decrease pneumonia and impact on lung development. Thus, it is necessary to reduce exposures to air pollution for school-age children in order to decrease the impacts of air-pollution-related diseases later in life.
