Doelstelling: De doelstelling van deze scriptie is een overzicht te bieden van het beeld dat wetenschappers schetsen van de rol die het Engels tegenwoordig speelt in de wereld en op internationale conferenties. Daarbij zal de invloed die het Engels heeft in Europa uitvoeriger besproken worden en zal worden nagegaan in welke mate Europese sprekers Engels beheersen. Middelen of methode: Vanuit een literatuurstudie, aangevuld met twee pilotstudies, werd een antwoord op de onderzoeksvragen gegeven. In de eerste pilot study werden conferentieorganisatoren gecontacteerd met een vragenlijst over Europese conferenties inzake emissierechten. In de tweede pilot study werden tien conferenties geselecteerd en werd, via het internet en contact met de organisatoren, nagegaan wat de moedertaal was van de aanwezige sprekers. Resultaten: Uit de literatuurstudie blijkt dat Engels wereldwijd door een aanzienlijk aantal mensen wordt gesproken. Verder blijkt dat inwoners van verschillende Europese regio's op een andere manier Engels praten. Het empirisch onderzoek toont aan dat Engels ook het vaakst wordt aangewend als voertaal op Europese conferenties inzake emissies.

This paper presents new global evidence on the key determinants of public-private partnership investment in electricity generated by fossil fuels and renewable energy based on a panel data analysis for 105 developing countries over a period of 16 years from 1993 to 2008. It aims to identify the key factors affecting private investors' decision to enter electricity generation, through probit analysis, and the amount of investment sunk in this market segment, based on Heckman's sample selection analysis. The paper shows some evidence of switching from investment in fossil fuels to investment in hydro and renewables and within fossil fuels from oil to natural gas. An interesting result of the econometric analysis is that the likelihood of switching toward renewable investment is driven by long-run environmental factors, such as the increases in the price of oil and the introduction of the Kyoto protocol. Another interesting result is that sector governance support schemes, provided by feed-in tariffs, affect only the entry in renewable based electricity generation and have no impact in reducing the amount of investment in fossil fuel based generation. Economy-wide governance factors, including control for corruption and degree of political competition, are factored in by private investors only in the initial stage of the game when the decision to enter into the generation market is taken and not the amount of investment. This confirms that the first generations of independent power producers have been developed on the basis of long-term power purchase agreements guaranteeing a fixed rate of return, through take-or-pay clauses and/or government guarantees.

The issues around the environmental integrity of international market mechanisms have gained a great deal of attention in the wake of the Paris Agreement. In addition, with the agreement on market-based measures for international aviation being reached, these issues are likely to gain even more prominence in countries' efforts to prepare for the implementation of international market mechanisms. In a context where inaccurate accounting is one of the environmental integrity risks associated with market mechanisms, an emissions trading registry is critical for avoiding "double counting"-the situation where a single GHG emission reduction or removal is used more than once to demonstrate compliance with mitigation targets. An emissions trading registry is an online database that issues, records, and tracks the carbon units that are exchanged within market mechanisms or financed through Results-Based Climate Finance programs. Given the length of time and capacity needed for the development of a registry, it is essential for countries that are in the process of designing market mechanisms to factor in specific regulatory, administrative, functional, and technical aspects of registry development. Against this backdrop, and to further facilitate future registry design and implementation, this report provides policy makers and other stakeholders with technical insights and guidance on how to support country-specific decision making and activities related to registry development.
