has weak densities of population (about 22 inhabitants per square km), except in the metropolitan zones. The rate of urbanization is 85% although the cities occupy only 1.3% of the territory. The safeguard of the environment and the problem of renewable energies are generally the priorities of the politicians, as well as most of the people. According to the index of democracy published by The Economist, Sweden is in 2008 the most democratic country in the world with an index of 9.88/10. History

natural resources which have been used into other goods. The subject of recycling in relatively new for economists. It allows them to set out differently the problem of the relationship between consumption and resources. It challenges the notion of un-renewable resource. Recycling takes place otherwhise within the context of a new model of growth caring about environment. The first part of this paper considers the reasons why recycling is both an economic activity and an ecological activity and describes

move away from it?’ The answer is that Danone is unlikely to cut out the industry but will work with suppliers to help them improve their environmental profile. ‘That industry is looking to go green, and is constructing PLA plants and moving to renewable energy sources, but it certainly faces a challenge,’ agrees Ghnassia. CONSUMERS CATCH ON If proof were needed that times have changed and attitudes towards sustainability are maturing, one need only look at Danone’s experience of using environmentally

Confronted by chants of "Drill, baby, drill," Senate and House Democrats, led by candidate Barack Obama, embraced offshore oil exploration, reversing nearly a quarter-century of opposition. When it came time to justify stimulus investments in energy efficiency and renewables, the president did so in the name of job creation, not polar bears. And, last month, after floating the idea of forcing cap-and- trade legislation through Congress as part of the budget, the White House quickly backed down in the face

Elle s'exprime en J m-2 (joule par mètre carré). L'ISES (International Solar Energy Society) recommande le symbole H. D'autres unités plus courantes sont le Wh/m2 (wattheure par mètre carré) bien que ce dernier ne doive pas être utilisé puisque n'appartenant pas au système international d'unités (SI).

It focuses primarily on strengthening capacities and capabilities for achieving MDGs, enhancing good governance, improving economic performance, employment generation, sustainable development, disaster management and energy efficiency.

the upstream and can afford huge hydroelectric projects are essential to its economic development, downstream, especially in Yunnan. Overwhelmed by its pollution problems caused by two decades of high-speed growth, China provides 15% of its energy from renewable sources in 2020; double 2005.The emphasis is on hydraulics, with a planned installed capacity of 300 million kilowatts by that date. However, Chinese authorities are silent on their plans, their possible impact on the environment and neighboring

solutions to improve their conditions. In order to create this value Walmart has set major sustainable goals which can be analyze frequently to follow the evolutions of progress, for example the 3 environmental goals: supplied 100 percent by renewable energy; to create zero waste; and to sell products that sustain people and the environment. They are involving every stakeholder, every associate in this mission. From farmers in china, through the improvement of the fleet to the distribution of reusable
