English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric, Climatic and Meteorological Phenomena

Novel climate conditions and unprecedented climate change impacts may occur on a variety of temporal and spatial scales. A distinction is sometimes made between "rapid-onset" and "slow-onset" events. A rapid-onset event may be a single, discrete event that occurs in a matter of days or even hours, whereas slow-onset events evolve gradually from incremental changes occurring over many years or from an increased frequency or intensity of recurring events.

Key term(s)
  • rapid onset climate event
  • rapid onset event

French

Domaine(s)
  • Phénomènes météorologiques, climatiques et atmosphériques

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

De igual modo, si un Estado no puede proteger a una persona de los actos de persecución no estatales en un área afectada por procesos de evolución lenta o después de un fenómeno climático de evolución rápida, esto podría servir de base para la presentación de una solicitud de reconocimiento de la condición de refugiado.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cost Accounting
CONT

Marginal contribution measures the spread between the amount of revenue to be received from one additional unit of the scarce resource and the amount of incremental cost necessary to produce that revenue. The cost of the scarce resource itself does not enter into this calculation because the way the firm uses the resource does not change the cost.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Comptabilité analytique
CONT

La marge sur coûts variables représente le revenu variable moins tous les coûts variables alors que la contribution marginale représente le revenu de la dernière unité vendue moins le coût variable de cette unité.

  • Investment
CONT

Sensitivity testing typically involves an incremental change in a risk factor(or a limited number of risk factors). It is typically conducted over a shorter time horizon, for example an instantaneous shock. Sensitivity testing requires fewer resources than scenario testing and can be used as a simpler technique for assessing the impact of a change in risks when a quick response or when more frequent results are needed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion budgétaire et financière
  • Institutions financières
  • Investissements et placements
CONT

L’analyse de sensibilité comprend habituellement l’évolution par étape d’un facteur de risque (ou d’un nombre limité de facteurs de risque). Elle s’étale normalement sur une plus courte période, par exemple un choc soudain. L’analyse de sensibilité exige moins de ressources que l’analyse d’un scénario et elle peut servir de technique plus simple pour évaluer l’évolution d’un risque lorsqu’une réaction rapide ou que des résultats plus fréquents sont nécessaires.
