    Recent events in many countries across the world are a stark reminder that the power of the human spirit should not be underestimated.

  • New Technology Brought Cleaner Air and New Jobs to Facture

    Paula Niemistö
    Metso Corporation

    Residents of Facture, a city in southwest France, have been breathing cleaner air since October 2010. A biomass-fired combined heat and power plant – which is one of Europe’s largest and represents Metso’s latest technology – was commissioned at the energy company Dalkia’s new biomass power plant, located at the local Smurfit Kappa paper mill.

  • The Prohibition of Amnesties by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights

    Prof. Christina Binder, University of Vienna

    The Inter‐American Court of Human Rights has proven a particularly active defender of human rights in Latin America. The Court has developed an innovative and creative jurisprudence with respect to all kinds of human rights violations, including forced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, violations of indigenous peoples’ rights or those of undocumented migrants. Legal scholars have praised the Inter‐American Court for its effective protection of human rights and even the International Court of Justice has drawn on the judgments of the Inter‐American Court.  more[...]  login_required

    MAN SE

    Climate change is one of the greatest global challenges faced by government, business, and society. It also brings specific opportunities and risks for the transportation and power engineering sectors. The MAN Group is active in both industries and produces trucks, buses, diesel engines, turbomachinery, and special gear units in 13 countries around the world. MAN is thus in a position to make a significant contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions. At the same time, the company is confronted with the increasingly ambitious CO2 reduction targets set by policymakers and with growing customer expectations – in the transportation sector in particular.  more[...]
