(b) Increase energy efficiency, including in the energy production and transformation, industrial, transport, household and agricultural sectors

Efficiency should be sought in energy production, distribution and utilization.

(a) Lead the drive to achieving eco efficiency improving efficiency in material and energy use minimizing waste in production processes recycling solid wastes and waste water

Improved efficiency in the production and application of nitrogen fertilizers

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

A given pace of accumulation can of course generate different growth rates, depending on its nature and composition, as well as the efficiency with which production capacity is utilized.

(c) Increase energy efficiency in the energy production, transformation and distribution, industry, transport and household sectors

Because labor productivity...

(a) Energy efficiency standards, defined test procedures and functional performance measures for products, labelling and other product related measures, including mandatory minimum efficient standards for such products, if necessary or where appropriate

Efficiency improvements in production, transmission and distribution

(ii) Voluntary agreements with producers and importers to improve energy efficiency levels of products through clear objectives or general improvement ranges, and, if necessary or where appropriate, mandatory minimum efficiency standards of the products.

Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Network

(a) Voluntary agreements with energy producers and importers and industry to improve energy efficiency

The possible advantages of a regional structure are the following

Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Clearing house

There could be non linearities, threshold effects.

It allows small and medium sized enterprises to absorb new technologies that increase efficiency and productivity and helps to improve employment opportunities and labour conditions.

(iv) Improving efficiencies in industrial production processes

For those, the absence of quantified means of assessing efficiency and productivity is a serious shortcoming that must urgently be overcome.

Conversely, X inefficiency reflects the excess of actual over minimum possible costs of a firm at a given level of output. savings and allocative efficiency , i.e. the allocation of products through the price system in the optimum manner required to satisfy consumer demand (which will occur where the output of each product is at the level where the marginal cost of producing extra units equals their price).

Therefore, industrial energy efficiency is very important to increase productivity and to optimize energy intensity of manufacturing and services.

Efficient use of energy reduces pollution, reduces energy intensity, and improves productivity and competitiveness.

(iv) Initiating macroeconomic policy reforms which will enhance the capacity of the small farmers and landowners to have access to and control of resources to ensure efficiency and productivity.

(vi) Public incentives for research, development and technical demonstration regarding the improvement of energy efficiency and environmental characteristics of the products and

Reaffirming that investing in the development of women and girls has multiplier effects on productivity, efficiency and sustained economic growth,

Wasteful abusive and focused on labor productivity.

Enhancement of energy efficiency in all sectors, including the energy production and transformation, industrial, transport, residential and commercial and agricultural sectors.

7. Promotion of capitalization and greater efficiency in the agricultural sector and in small and medium sized businesses.

Estonia has introduced measures for efficiency in energy production and conservation, and additional measures are planned.

Information on achievements in terms of impact and effectiveness has been provided by only a few United Nations organizations.

(ii) Enhance energy efficiency in all sectors, including the energy production and transformation, industrial, transport, residential and commercial and agricultural sectors

As a consequence, much foreign aid disappears, productive capacity is weakened, administrative efficiency is reduced and the legitimacy of political order is undermined.

And all forms of intervention need support, the evolution of the kinds of institutions that create wealth, the kinds of institutions that increase productivity.

In the case of agricultural producers, provision of credit is required to support the introduction of better farming techniques and to increase the scale and efficiency of agricultural production, eventually arresting current land degradation patterns.

(keeping up wit the product plan...) (work productivity and related...) (the targets have been met at 98 ...)

It can be defined as an activity or procedure that has produced outstanding results and could be adapted to improve effectiveness and efficiency in another situation.

Moreover, the bias toward manufacturing and export industries leads to a severe misallocation of capital. Less efficient industrial sectors have accumulated significant excess capacity, destabilizing the entire economy, while more productive, efficient sectors lack access to the resources they need.

Of course, it is possible for a country s terms of trade to get out of line with income and productivity levels, requiring a rebalancing. But resetting the terms of trade is no substitute for tackling the structural underpinnings of productivity.

Lack of efficiency in domestic distribution networks will undermine overall economic productivity and competitiveness and hinder effective integration into the world economy.

The objective of the report was to identify opportunities for increasing procurement efficiency and effectiveness within the United Nations system, focusing on productivity enhancement, improved cooperation and coordination, and technological innovations.

Recognizing the importance to all countries of strong, effective and efficient insolvency regimes as a means of encouraging economic development and investment,

This often results in inequitable access to or provision of basic services, and general inefficiencies and lack of productivity.

Meeting this demand in a sustainable manner will require drastically increasing the efficiency with which energy is produced, delivered and used.
