(k) Resource efficiency To minimize the use of scarce and non renewable resources in the development and operation of tourism facilities and services

(iv) To stimulate the development and diffusion of technologies designed to increase the efficiency of resource use or reduce the impacts of drivers such as climate change and nutrient loading

Enhancing water use efficiency and managing competing uses

Higher fuel use intensity implies lower energy efficiency

The Plan encourages an accelerated shift towards sustainable consumption and production, where appropriate de linking economic growth and environmental degradation through improved efficiency and sustainability in the use of resources and reduced resource degradation, pollution and waste.

One of the limitations of this approach for sound public administration is that profit maximization and efficiency of resource use are essential but not sufficient with respect to promoting and protecting public goods, such as the environment.

For example, improving energy efficiency and material use efficiency has been undertaken in many sectors under cleaner production and environmental management initiatives.

When it has a scarce resource that it wants to turn into a desirable outcome, it thinks in terms of efficiency.

Resource rich economies can use commodity stabilization funds to support economic diversity.

Both programmes focus on African issues and use primarily African resource persons.

Standard methods continue to emphasize labor efficiency even though that resource now constitutes a (very) small part of cost in most cases.

The motives were largely similar across regions and were dependent on the types of OFDI (market seeking, efficiency seeking, resource seeking, asset augmenting).

All countries should promote sustainable consumption and production patterns with programmes addressing the de linking of economic growth and environmental degradation through improved efficiency and sustainability in the use of resources and production processes, and reduction in resource degradation, pollution and waste.

Based largely on the principles of private sector management, public sector organizations are being increasingly expected to be able to compete with public and private sector entities in terms of per unit cost of services, client orientation and the efficiency of resource use.

So I think the Eden Project is a fairly good example of how ideas from biology can lead to radical increases in resource efficiency delivering the same function, but with a fraction of the resource input.

Dawn raids are resource intensive the competition agency must be selective in their use.

34 (XXI) Rationalization and increased efficiency of energy and the use of renewable sources of energy

Such policies and institutional improvements increase productivity, promote competition, facilitate specialization, enhance the efficiency of resource allocation, protect the environment, and reduce risks and uncertainties.

The economic transition would help maintain and strengthen Europe s competitiveness in a global economy that is increasingly competing on the basis of sustainability and resource efficiency.

Relentless efficiency gains in agriculture and resource extraction pushed down prices for commodities, especially during the 1980 s and 1990 s. With few exceptions, countries that focused on commodity exports performed dismally, whereas many resource poor Asian countries raced ahead.

unless I use a front loading, high efficiency washing machine, and then it looks a little bit better.

Several delegations welcomed the use of key performance indicators to enable UNICEF to better monitor its organizational efficiency.

In the case of energy efficiency, UNIDO adopts a systems based approach, which aims at optimizing the efficiency of the energy systems that factories use to deliver the services provided by electricity, gas and other fuels to the point of use in the plant.

(i) At the United Nations global headquarters level, member state expectations are high for rationalization of procurement and human resource management, increased administrative efficiency and cost reductions.

Similarly, an open, international data portal on resource use should be established to compile core data collected by geological agencies and organizations such as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and the International Energy Agency, as well as data on environmental pressures from resource use and coefficients for resource intensive areas of production.

Stronger coordination and leadership on financial transparency and resource use are required, supported by the prospect of reducing dependence on development aid and increasing revenues in resource rich developing countries.

Finally, farmers rights need to be protected, the efficiency of land use must be increased, and policies for acquisition of rural land for urban use should be overhauled.

(c) Controlling growth in the use of fuel and power by industries through increased energy end use efficiency slows growth in the emissions of climate damaging greenhouse gases.

Relocation transparency Should a resource move while in use, this should not be noticeable to the end user.

New hybrid automobiles, pioneered by Toyota, use both gasoline and electric power to boost gasoline efficiency by approximately two fold.

Objective To improve the efficiency of the Organization through the prudent use of ICT and its effectiveness through knowledge management.

The use of the new system would promote efficiency and motivation and, in the long term, facilitate credible performance evaluation.

Regarding resource use, the challenges lie primarily in the global resource nexus that is, the interaction between the various resources required to produce fuel and energy feedstock, industrial inputs, and food.

So, without transparency of revenues and their beneficial use, resource extraction companies inevitably become the targets of local suspicion.

As mentioned, animals may also use display behavior during direct competition between them for a resource other than mates.

Status, management and use of the resources for the promotion of South South cooperation and related resource mobilization initiatives

Efficiency dictates the use of fewer and larger currencies (and foreign investors, understandably wary of weak and volatile currencies, demand it).

29. Encourages the use of procurement within the region for the requirements of missions, taking into account efficiency and cost effectiveness

In some instances, energy consumption can be reduced by 50 80 per cent depending on the current level of use efficiency.

The programme also aims to increase resource efficiency and better management by introducing the concept of cleaner production in participating industrial companies and to strengthen the capacity of local partners.

First of all, this is where we're projected to go with the U.S. contribution to global warming, under business as usual. Efficiency in end use electricity and end use of all energy is the low hanging fruit. Efficiency and conservation it's not a cost it's a profit. The sign is wrong.

One key problem is that the alternative technologies are often more expensive than the resource depleting technologies now in use.

They contribute to human resource development and institution building by supporting the use of Southern experts and transfers of technology.

Enhancing energy conservation and efficiency are key for decoupling economic growth from increased energy use, and thus for driving sustainable development worldwide.

Companies and investors are hedging their bets by taking a few resource efficiency measures and investing in some low carbon assets, but leaving their high carbon portfolios and activities largely intact.
