Rooftop solar powerA rooftop solar power system, or rooftop PV system, is a photovoltaic (PV) system that has its electricity-generating solar panels mounted on the rooftop of a residential or commercial building or structure. The various components of such a system include photovoltaic modules, mounting systems, cables, solar inverters and other electrical accessories. Rooftop mounted systems are small compared to utility-scale solar ground-mounted photovoltaic power stations with capacities in the megawatt range, hence being a form of distributed generation.
Economic analysis of climate changeThe economic analysis of climate change explains how economic thinking, tools and techniques are applied to calculate the magnitude and distribution of damage caused by climate change. It also informs the policies and approaches for mitigation and adaptation to climate change from global to household scales. This topic is also inclusive of alternative economic approaches, including ecological economics and degrowth. Economic analysis of climate change is considered challenging as it is a long-term problem and has substantial distributional issues within and across countries.
Atténuation du changement climatiquethumb|Consommation globale d'énergie entre 2000 et 2020. L'atténuation du changement climatique ou « atténuation du réchauffement climatique » (en anglais, climate change mitigation) regroupe les actions visant à atténuer l'ampleur du réchauffement mondial d'origine humaine par la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre ou la capture et séquestration du dioxyde de carbone de l'atmosphère.
Embedded emissionsOne way of attributing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is to measure the embedded emissions of goods that are being consumed (also referred to as "embodied emissions", "embodied carbon emissions", or "embodied carbon"). This is different from the question of to what extent the policies of one country to reduce emissions affect emissions in other countries (the "spillover effect" and "carbon leakage" of an emissions reduction policy). The UNFCCC measures emissions according to production, rather than consumption.
Élimination du dioxyde de carbone atmosphériquevignette|Planter des arbres est un moyen naturel d'éliminer temporairement le dioxyde de carbone de l'atmosphère. Lélimination du dioxyde de carbone atmosphérique, plus connue sous l'expression anglaise carbon dioxide removal (abrégé en CDR), désigne le captage et la séquestration du dioxyde de carbone () présent dans l'atmosphère par intervention humaine. Elle est également désignée sous le vocable émissions négatives.
Solar powerSolar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect. Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and solar tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight to a hot spot, often to drive a steam turbine.
Green recoveryGreen recovery packages are proposed environmental, regulatory, and fiscal reforms to rebuild prosperity in the wake of an economic crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). They pertain to fiscal measures that intend to recover economic growth while also positively benefitting the environment, including measures for renewable energy, efficient energy use, nature-based solutions, sustainable transport, green innovation and green jobs, amongst others.
Employee benefitsEmployee benefits and (especially in British English) benefits in kind (also called fringe benefits, perquisites, or perks) include various types of non-wage compensation provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. Instances where an employee exchanges (cash) wages for some other form of benefit is generally referred to as a "salary packaging" or "salary exchange" arrangement. In most countries, most kinds of employee benefits are taxable to at least some degree.
Plein emploiLe plein emploi (ou plein-emploi) est une situation dans laquelle le chômage d'un territoire est réduit au chômage frictionnel incompressible, soit à un taux inférieur à 5 % au sens de l'OIT. Il n'existe alors pas de difficulté particulière à trouver un emploi. Le plein emploi peut concerner l'économie entière, ou bien seulement certains marchés du travail (par exemple, le marché des artisans qualifiés), lorsque le passage d’un marché du travail à l'autre est faible.
Politique climatiqueLa politique climatique d'une organisation internationale, d'un État ou d'un groupe d'États, ou d'une collectivité territoriale définit les actions à entreprendre pour lutter contre le réchauffement climatique. Elle se traduit par un plan d'action stratégique, souvent appelé plan climat. Elle vise généralement conjointement deux objectifs : l'atténuation du changement climatique et l'adaptation au changement climatique.
