Gouvernement d'entreprisevignette|Exemple de Système Gouvernance par les documents Le gouvernement d'entreprise (ou gouvernance d'entreprise - expression dérivée de l'anglais « corporate governance » -) désigne l'ensemble des processus, réglementations, lois et institutions destinés à cadrer la manière dont l'entreprise est dirigée, administrée et contrôlée. Dans le modèle le plus courant du capitaliste moderne, le gouvernement d'entreprise est pensé pour maximiser les intérêts des actionnaires (montant des dividendes et valeur des parts sociales et des actions).
ConsiderationConsideration is a concept of English common law and is a necessity for simple contracts but not for special contracts (contracts by deed). The concept has been adopted by other common law jurisdictions. The court in Currie v Misa declared consideration to be a “Right, Interest, Profit, Benefit, or Forbearance, Detriment, Loss, Responsibility”. Thus, consideration is a promise of something of value given by a promissor in exchange for something of value given by a promisee; and typically the thing of value is goods, money, or an act.
Captage et stockage du dioxyde de carboneLe captage et stockage du dioxyde de carbone (en anglais, carbon capture and storage ou CCS), également appelé captage et séquestration du dioxyde de carbone, consiste à capter du dans les effluents industriels puis à le stocker dans un réservoir géologique afin de limiter la contribution de ce gaz au réchauffement climatique et à l'acidification des milieux .
Climate resilienceClimate resilience is defined as the "capacity of social, economic and ecosystems to cope with a hazardous event or trend or disturbance". This is done by "responding or reorganising in ways that maintain their essential function, identity and structure (as well as biodiversity in case of ecosystems) while also maintaining the capacity for adaptation, learning and transformation". The key focus of increasing climate resilience is to reduce the climate vulnerability that communities, states, and countries currently have with regards to the many effects of climate change.
Consideration in English lawConsideration is an English common law concept within the law of contract, and is a necessity for simple contracts (but not for special contracts by deed). The concept of consideration has been adopted by other common law jurisdictions, including the US. Consideration can be anything of value (such as any goods, money, services, or promises of any of these), which each party gives as a quid pro quo to support their side of the bargain. Mutual promises constitute consideration for each other.
Portfolio optimizationPortfolio optimization is the process of selecting the best portfolio (asset distribution), out of the set of all portfolios being considered, according to some objective. The objective typically maximizes factors such as expected return, and minimizes costs like financial risk. Factors being considered may range from tangible (such as assets, liabilities, earnings or other fundamentals) to intangible (such as selective divestment). Modern portfolio theory was introduced in a 1952 doctoral thesis by Harry Markowitz; see Markowitz model.
Carbon dioxide scrubberA carbon dioxide scrubber is a piece of equipment that absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2). It is used to treat exhaust gases from industrial plants or from exhaled air in life support systems such as rebreathers or in spacecraft, submersible craft or airtight chambers. Carbon dioxide scrubbers are also used in controlled atmosphere (CA) storage. They have also been researched for carbon capture and storage as a means of combating climate change. Amine gas treating The primary application for CO2 scrubbing is for removal of CO2 from the exhaust of coal- and gas-fired power plants.
Business risksThe term business risks refers to the possibility of a commercial business making inadequate profits (or even losses) due to uncertainties - for example: changes in tastes, changing preferences of consumers, strikes, increased competition, changes in government policy, obsolescence etc. Every business organization faces various risk elements while doing business. Business risk implies uncertainty in profits or danger of loss and the events that could pose a risk due to some unforeseen events in future, which causes business to fail.
Vulnérabilité au réchauffement climatiqueLa vulnérabilité au réchauffement climatique (ou vulnérabilité climatique ou vulnérabilité au risque climatique) est une évaluation de la vulnérabilité au réchauffement climatique utilisée pour des processus tels que l'adaptation au réchauffement climatique, les évaluations du risque climatique ou pour déterminer une justice climatique. La vulnérabilité climatique peut inclure une grande variété de significations, de situations et de contextes différents mais elle est un concept central dans la recherche universitaire depuis 2005.
Adaptation au changement climatiqueL’adaptation au changement climatique est l'ensemble des stratégies, initiatives et mesures visant à réduire la vulnérabilité des systèmes naturels et humains contre les effets (présents et attendus) du réchauffement climatique. Le mot adaptation évoque une aptitude à s'ajuster, et donc une vision dynamique voire évolutive du fonctionnement des sociétés. vignette|upright=1.
