Abstract:

La sostenibilità è diventata parte integrante della società attuale, che sta affrontando sfide senza precedenti quali inquinamento e degradazione ambientale. Questa tendenza ha influenzato anche il settore finanziario, il quale ha risposto anche alla crescente richiesta da parte degli investitori di prodotti e strumenti di investimento sostenibile. La presente tesi si propone di analizzare la natura e l'evoluzione della finanza sostenibile, delineando le sue caratteristiche principali e definendo un trend di integrazione degli Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile (OSS) e degli indicatori Environm

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the level of sustainability of two microfinance institutions (MFIs): Grameen Bank of Bangladesh and Capitec Bank of South Africa. Data from 2004 to 2013 is used in this study employing internationally accepted sustainability criteria, namely, the Small Enterprise Education and Promotion (SEEP) 2010 Microfinance Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) and the SEEP Framework of 2005. The results of this study indicate that although the operations of both microfinance institutions are sustainable, Capitec Bank exhibits a higher level of sustainability as compared to Grameen

Abstract:

Society today faces unprecedented social and environmental challenges that are both complex in nature and require immediate and severe action. The financial system is a complex system that has an important impact on the sustainable development of society. Currently, however, the role of the finance system in sustainability is ambivalent, as it invests both in the causes of the sustainability challenge as well as its potential solutions. As the finance system is a complex system collaboration is needed to make change possible. Relationships are a key component of collaboration, and this researc

Abstract:

The economic progress that the world has achieved so far, has come at a steep price to the environment and social justice. There is a general global rise in environmental degradation and social inequality, mainly due to unsustainable habits of production and consumption. Greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from burning fossil fuels, are on the rise; causing global warming, climate change, and the resultant extreme weather conditions. This global trend is also manifesting itself in South Africa; where the current economic model has failed to adequately address unemployment, poverty, and inequal

This process gained new momentum with the end of colonialism and the emergence of newly independent countries, all of them plagued with high levels of poverty. Traditional models of economic growth based on industrialization and import-substitution did not deliver the expected results to reduce poverty, especially in Africa. New ways of engaging with development emerged; in particular the basic needs approach in the 1970s and later the h

Despite substantial external aid, Liberia was only able to meet 3 out of the 8 Millennium Development Goals, and more than 60% of the population remain extremely poor. The main research

An increasing number of people are in need of housing that would improve long-term tenure for them. Private ownership is a well-known incentive for peoples’ participation in housing programmes.

As a result of this, the need to find an option that will solve the housing needs of the people became intense. However, the implementation of the co-operative housing deliv

La commande publique repose, à plus de 70%, sur les collectivités locales et leurs établissements publics. dans la période de récession économique actuelle, c'est un point essentiel qui mobilise tous, en premier le Président de la République, le Premier ministre et le gouvernement mais aussi tous les exécutifs locaux qu'ils soient de droite ou de gauche.au moment où les finances locales sont absorbées par des priorités, leur reste-t-il des moyens d'intervenir dans le développement durable ? le mille-feu

Abstract:

The adoption of the Millennium Development Goal 1 (MDG1) of reducing the rate of poverty to half of the 1990-level by 2015, the advent of democracy in South Africa, among other things, have raised concerns over the potential role of the agricultural sector. There is a belief that the sector has the capacity to successfully reduce poverty among the rural masses and contribute to addressing the problem of inequality in South Africa. In line with that thinking, South Africa‘s agricultural sector has attracted considerable fiscal policy interest. For instance, South Africa‘s statistics show that p

Abstract:

The purpose of the research is to assess the financial viability of selected urban and rural municipalities in the Eastern Cape. Municipalities that are not financially viable and sustainable will always struggle to deliver basic services to communities. Without sound financial management systems, municipalities will be forced to discontinue their operations. Municipalities, particularly small and rural ones, are not self-sufficient and often rely on grants and transfers to satisfy their immediate short-term goal of providing basic services to satisfy the needs of their communities. Therefore,

Abstract:

Ireland is facing a great challenge in meeting renewable energy requirements, where due to past circumstances and decisions, the nation state is now heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels. Given the contribution of these imported fossil fuels to global climate change, price instability and supply insecurity, Ireland is under a pressing need to face up to the dilemma of an unsustainably fueled economy. This thesis explores how the EU policy process is helping Ireland to achieve the goals it has set with the EU and how these are being incorporated into the drivers of wind power development i

La dimension organisationnelle et médiatique prise par certaines ONGI humanitaires et environnementales a modifié leur rôle et leur importance dans la gouvernance mondiale, l’aide au développement et plus largement le Développement durable. Elles sont devenues porteuses d’une autre mondialisation. Leur action s’appuie largement sur le soutien financier d’acteurs individuels qui mettent le sujet personnel au cœur de l’environnement globalisé, émergeant d’une société de masse. Sa fidélité traduit le dépassement d’une solidarité basée sur l’empathie ou la compassion, pour reconnaître une responsa

Cette thèse est un ensemble de quatre essais indépendants sur la réforme du compte capital dans les pays en développement. Le premier essai analyse théoriquement les effets de la libéralisation du compte capital sur la croissance à long terme en présence de corruption dans le secteur public. Le résultat principal est que la corruption réduit la croissance, en présence d’ouverture financière, à cause de son effet négatif sur l'épargne étrangère. Le deuxième essai examine le lien entre le développement financier et la libéralisation des flux de capitaux pour un échantillon de 90 pays développés

Abstract:

La recherche d'une mobilité plus durable constitue aujourd'hui un souci partagé chez les responsables des grandes villes du monde, qui doivent alléger la pression des transports sur l'espace (congestion), la qualité de vie (nuisances, accidents), l'environnement (émissions de CO2) en maintenant leur capacité de développement et en préservant ou améliorant leur cohésion sociale. C'est le cas sur nos terrains d'étude, qui sont l'Île-de-France, Shanghai et Taipei. Cette recherche de durabilité s'inscrit dans un contexte historique, géographique et culturel, qui prédétermine l'état de la mobilité
