Climate and energy Sample Clauses

Climate and energy. The Paris climate agreement was a breakthrough: 195 countries pledged to keep the rise in global average temperature well below 2oC, and aim to limit this increase to 1.5oC. It is our duty to do everything we can to achieve these targets. Doing so will at the same time reduce our dependence on Middle Eastern oil and Russian gas. On behalf of all its member states, the European Union gave a firm undertaking that greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by at least 40% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. While this is a worthwhile undertaking, it will be insufficient to achieve the 2oC target, let alone the more ambitious target of 1.5oC. We note that this will require a greater effort and are setting the bar higher than the EU has done, by introducing measures to prepare the Netherlands for a 49% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. We will draw up a national climate and energy agreement in order to give economic sectors certainty about the long-term targets. Measures to be taken in the short term include greening the tax system, designating more sites for offshore wind farms, and setting a minimum price for CO2 produced by the electricity sector. At EU level we will take the lead in striving to raise the EU target to 55%. The first opportunity to tighten the targets at international level will be in 2019, during the first five-year global review of the Paris Agreement. We will seize that opportunity. If the EU as a whole is insufficiently ambitious, we will make agreements with our neighbours on making an extra effort on top of the EU targets.  At EU level we will call for a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The most opportune moment for doing this will be in 2018, when the EU decides on its contribution to the global review of the Paris Agreement targets in 2019.  Should a more ambitious target for the EU as a whole prove infeasible, the Netherlands will strive to make agreements with like-minded countries in north-west Europe on pursuing more ambitious targets than required under the EU country allocations. In this way we will avoid putting Dutch economic sectors at a competitive disadvantage.  National targets that are more ambitious than those required by the EU should not lead to higher emissions elsewhere. To this end, the group of leading countries will need to introduce supplementary policy, for instance on buying up ETS emission allowances.  The outcome of the global review in 2019 is uncertain, so the final target for...

Climate and energy. ‌ For the solutions targeted for the Climate Change and Energy sector the nanofabrication practices are the following: solar PV perovskite, catalysis, hydrogen fuel cells, batteries/supercapacitors, wind energy. As the use of nanomaterials is spread across many different applications it is difficult to identify specific best practices. Regulation of nanomaterials used in these applications falls under the EU chemicals legislation REACH.

It is the hardware which supports Application Services (C.3.2) and IT Management Services (C.3.3); the software and services which enable that hardware to function; and the hardware, software, and services which allow for secure communication and interoperability between all business and application service components. Infrastructure services facilitate the development and maintenance of critical IT infrastructures required to support Federal government business operations. This section includes the technical framework components that make up integrated IT solutions. One or any combination of these components may be used to deliver IT solutions intended to perform a wide array of functions which allow agencies to deliver services to their customers (or users), whether internal or external, in an efficient and effective manner. Infrastructure includes hardware, software, licensing, technical support, and warranty services from third party sources, as well as technological refreshment and enhancements for that hardware and software. This section is aligned with the FEA/DoDEA Technical Reference Model (TRM) which describes these components using a vocabulary that is common throughout the entire Federal government. A detailed review of the TRM is provided in Section J, Attachment 5. Infrastructure includes complete life cycle support for all hardware, software, and services represented above, including planning, analysis, research and development, design, development, integration and testing, implementation, operations and maintenance, information assurance, and final disposition of these components. The services also include administration and help desk functions necessary to support the IT infrastructure (e.g., desktop support, network administration).
