Performance in the treatment of municipal waste: Are European Union member states so different?
2019
Abstract Efficient management and treatment of municipal waste is essential for achieving green growth. Recent studies have revealed convergence in European Union (EU) member states' performance in municipal waste treatment, particularly since the transposition of the 2008 European Waste Framework Directive into national laws. However, there are still notable differences between countries. In this paper, we calculate a composite indicator of performance in municipal waste treatment at the country-level. We also present an in-depth examination of differences in performance across EU member states. Our results show that the best performers—mainly high income Northern and Central European coun…
Zarządzanie funkcją środowiskową w rolnictwie - źródło nowych rent gospodarstw rolnych
2016
W Unii Europejskiej ekologizacja rolnictwa stanowi wstępny etap takiej jego transformacji, która umożliwi gospodarstwom rolnym, rozmieszczonym w różnych miejscach przestrzeni europejskiej, trwały udział w kreowaniu zielonego wzrostu. Praca jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie: Czy dzięki doskonaleniu zarządzania funkcją środowiskową towarowe gospodarstwa rolne regionu opolskiego mogą przygotować się do wyzwań związanych z gospodarką sieciową i zadań obecnego etapu ich modernizacji? W opracowaniu przedstawiono rolę polityki ekologicznej w definiowaniu obecnego etapu modernizacji gospodarstw rolnych, mechanizmy jej integracji z celami WPR do 2020 r. oraz strategią Europa 2020. Ustalenia te stanow…
Green growth: regioni italiane a confronto
2015
La ripresa economica e l'interesse verso le problematiche ambientali sono oggetto di studio da parte di molti paesi e organismi internazionali con l'obiettivo di definire un sentiero di sviluppo incentrato su una "crescita verde" (green growth). Economia, ambiente e società sono gli elementi di un sistema che deve necessariamente utilizzare le risorse in maniera efficiente e sostenibile, in modo da garantire che la crescita e il benessere non impoveriscano il patrimonio naturale e questo possa rinnovarsi continuando a fornire nel tempo risorse e servizi ambientali. Scopo del lavoro è quello di analizzare le condizioni regionali che possono favorire una crescita sostenibile. Un'analisi delle…
Unravelling green regional industrial path development: Regional preconditions, asset modification and agency
2020
Abstract Regions across the world are searching for ways to fashion new green growth paths and to promote green shifts in mature industries. The article aims to explore conceptually and based on illustrative empirical examples from the literature how green restructuring unfolds in regions. We propose a framework that explicates how regional preconditions in form of pre-existing industrial structures, organisational support structures, institutional set-ups and natural assets are transformed into various types of green path development through agentic processes of asset modification.
