...------------------------------------------------- The Global Environmental Tragedy: hoe het Emission Trading Scheme de ‘perfect storm’ bestrijdt Advies voor de het DG CLIMA van de Europese Commissie SPM 3530 - Beleid, Economie en Recht Clementien Fabels - 1510762 21 maart 2012 Trefwoorden: CO2-emissie, Emission Trading Scheme, CO2-markt Aantal woorden: The Global Environmental Tragedy: hoe het Emission Trading System de ‘perfect storm’ bestrijdt ------------------------------------------------- Onafhankelijk advies voor de het DG CLIMA van de Europese Commissie Auteur: Clementien Fabels, (milieukundig) adviseur Consumentenbond 1 - Inleiding “The Global Environmental Tragedy can be described as a perfect moral storm. The perfect storm is one where three different storms come together. In climate change three moral problems meet each other: one of global content, one of intergenerational content and one of theoretical content.” (Gardiner, 2011:6). Dit is de filosofie van Stephen Mark Gardiner, ethisch filosoof aan de Oxford University. Hoewel zijn benadering ethisch is, heeft deze direct toepassing op de economische aspecten achter het voeren van beleid met betrekking tot het milieu, in het speciaal met betrekking tot CO2-vervuiling. Gardiner stelt dat er drie problemen zijn die ten grondslag liggen aan de problemen die wij als wereldmaatschappij ervaren bij het bestrijden van de gevolgen van menselijk handelen die een negatieve invloed hebben op het...

...Unfortunately, Bob realizes the store may lose additional purchases because of the decision to have Tom assist Imelda. However, Bob strongly believes the company policy is a purposeful guideline to follow, and he should not waver from this policy. Initially, gender discrimination is a major legal issue that arises in the case of the female customer requesting a female salesperson to assist her in purchasing shoes. As the sales manager, Bob cannot replace Tom with Mary to appease the customer. It is company policy that two floor employees rotate between working in the back and assisting customers. If Bob were to switch the rotation and allow Mary to assist the employee, he would be violating gender discrimination law-Title VII, in addition he would be violating equal pay law (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2007). The policy at the store states that the rotation of the employees is use to allow the floor employees to receive commission pay each time they run the floor and assist employees. Tom will be losing significant pay if he is... Zapato de...
