The REDD+ Policy Arena: where are the bridges and brokers ?CIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation by Moira Moelino given at the Forests Asia Summit during the discussion forum "Climate change: Low-emissions development and societal welfare – trade offs, risks and power struggles in forest and climate change policy arenas" focuses on cross-scale information flows and mitigation and adaptation insights across sectors.
There is growing evidence that suggests that Environmental, Social and corporate Governance (ESG) factors, when integrated into investment analysis and decision making, it may offer investors potential long–term performance advantages. The number of companies disclosing information on their environmental, social and governance performance has grown very significantly in recent years. For large multinational companies, disclosure of ESG information has become a mainstream phenomenon It has become shorthand for investment methodologies that embrace ESG sustainable factors as a means of helping to identify companies with superior business models. ESG factors offer portfolio managers added insight into quality of a company’s management, culture, risk portfolio and other characteristics. By taking advantage of the increased level of scrutiny associated with ESG analysis, managers’ portfolios seek to identify companies based on performance indicators like
• Whether that company exhibits leadership in their industries.
• Whether that company is better managed and more forward thinking.
• Whether that company is better at anticipating and mitigating risk, meet positive standards of corporate responsibility.
• Whether that company is focused on the long term.
The applications of Sustainable Accounting, Reporting and Standardizations have taken a slow pace. The process began during early 1970s when it focused on social responsibility. During mid-late 1970s, it was shifted to employees and unions. 1980s saw explicit pursuit of economic goals with a thin veneer community concern and redefinition of employee rights as the major theme. In the 1990s attention shifted to environmental concern. Slowly, ‘environment reporting’, ‘triple bottom line reporting’, ‘sustainability reporting’ came into light.

This report is a follow-up to CDP's previous study on how companies are using internal carbon prices as a strategic tool in business planning. This continuation aims to answer some of the questions generated from the previous piece including: why are companies using a carbon price?, how are prices calculated?, do carbon prices drive strategy and investment?, what are the implications for investors, companies, and policymakers?
U.S. cities and counties are important leaders when it comes to decarbonizing power at the local level. As more local governments become interested in driving decarbonization in their regions, engaging in energy issues at the wholesale electricity market level presents a new opportunity to expand their influence and impact.

Eccellente inquadramento della problematica "Sviluppo economico e protezione ambientale" da parte del Prof. Stavins/Harvard University. Uomo simpatico oltre che acuto
The traditional view has been that addressing environmental issues poses a dilemma for managers: either help the environment at the expense of business or harm the business while protecting the environment. However, a new perspective suggests a reconciliation of environmental and economic concerns. In this approach, being environmentally friendly is not just a cost of doing business but a driver of innovation, new market opportunities, and wealth creation.

The Impacts of Environmental
Regulations on Competitiveness
Antoine Dechezleprêtre* and Misato Sato
†
Introduction
Ever since the first major environmental regulations were enacted in the 1970s, there has been
much debate about their potential impacts on the competitiveness of affected firms. Businesses
and policy makers fear that in a world that is increasingly characterized by the integration of trade
and capital flows, large asymmetries in the stringency of environmental policies could shift
pollution-intensive production capacity toward countries or regions with less stringent regula-
tion, altering the spatial distribution of industrial production and the subsequent international
trade flows. This has caused concern, particularly among countries that are leading the action
against climate change, because their efforts to achieve deep emission reductions could put their
own pollution-intensive producers at a competitive disadvantage in the global economy.
There are two different views in the environmental economics literature on the effects of
asymmetric policies on the performance of companies competing in the same market: the
pollution haven hypothesis and the Porter hypothesis. The pollution haven hypothesis, which
is based on trade theory, predicts that more stringent environmental policies will increase
compliance costs and, over time, shift pollution-intensive production toward low abatement
cost regions, creating pollution havens and causing policy-induced pollution leakage
(e.g., Levinson and Taylor, 2008). This is a particularly troubling problem for global pollutants
such as carbon dioxide, because it means that on top of the economic impacts on domestic
firms, abatement efforts will be offset to some extent by increasing emissions in other regions.

This report provides information on policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Vermont.1 It considers both carbon pricing policies, such as carbon taxes or cap-and-trade programs, and nonpricing policies, such as electric vehicle (EV) and energy efficiency incentives, weatherization programs and investments in low-carbon agriculture. This study aims to inform the policy dialogue but is not intended to address the complete universe of policy options. The key findings are presented below.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
