Since the EPA [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency]-sponsored proposal treats an industrial facility in terms of its total emissions as if it had a bubble over it the program is known as the bubble concept.

Parmi les opérations organisées par le règlement définitif de l'EPA [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] du 4 décembre 1986 sur le programme d'«Emissions trading» figurait la notion de «bubble». Celle-ci correspond effectivement à une vente, puisqu'à la différence du «netting», également organisé par ce règlement, elle désigne des compensations d'émissions pouvant avoir lieu entre plusieurs firmes (compensations externes) et non pas entre différents points d'émission au sein d'une même installation. L'interaction d'un acheteur et d'un vendeur est donc présupposée. 3, record 3, French, - principe%20de%20la%20bulle
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS
On trouve [...] l'offset, qui veut que pour un produit polluant donné, les nouvelles sources d'émission ou les sources qui en sont démunies ne peuvent se procurer des permis qu'auprès des sources existantes. Le système de la bulle permet de regrouper les émissions des différents produits d'une même source et autorise donc les compensations intra-source entre polluants. La solution dite du réseau («netting») est voisine de la précédente en ce sens qu'elle autorise également des compensations mais sans obligation de localisation. Enfin, le «banking» permet d'épargner des permis non utilisés pour une utilisation future, ce qui est interdit dans les autres systèmes. 4, record 3, French, - principe%20de%20la%20bulle

Pour exprimer cette notion certaines périphrases seraient plus heureuses que l'image anglaise de bulle, étrangère aux locuteurs français. Ainsi on pourra utiliser des expressions du type «principes des émissions en bloc, des émissions indivisibles, des émissions globales»; «principe de la prise en compte globale, de la globalisation». Finalement d'autres images françaises pourraient tout aussi bien servir à rendre cette notion : le toit, le chapeau, le bloc, le dôme, la coupole, etc. [Renseignements extraits du «Glossaire de l'environnement anglais/français» de l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques» et reproduits avec l'autorisation de l'OCDE.] 2, record 3, French, - principe%20de%20la%20bulle

Un nanomatériau est un matériau composé de nanostructures d'une taille comprise entre 1 et 100 nanomètres (ou milliardièmes de mètre). Ces nanostructures peuvent être des nanoparticules, des nanotubes (comme les nanotubes de carbone) [ou] des nanocristaux. Du fait de la petite taille des structures qui les composent, les propriétés des nanomatériaux diffèrent de celles des matériaux ordinaires. La conception de nanomatériaux concerne des applications très diverses. Exemple emblématique : les nanomatériaux à base de nanotubes de carbone, dont on envisage l'utilisation en nanoélectronique (composants), en médecine (transport de médicaments dans l'organisme), en informatique (mémoires d'ordinateurs). On fabrique également toutes sortes de nanomatériaux dits «composites» (association de matériaux a priori non miscibles). Le principe est d'introduire des nanostructures, par exemple des nanoparticules, dans une matrice (métal, matériau organique) pour obtenir des propriétés spécifiques de dureté, de résistance mécanique, de conductivité ou d'isolation électrique. 7, record 6, French, - nanomat%C3%A9riau

The Global Compact's operational phase was launched at UN Headquarters in New York on 26 July 2000. Today, many hundreds of companies from all regions of the world, international labour and civil society organizations are engaged in the Global Compact, working to advance ten universal principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. The Global Compact is a direct initiative of the Secretary-General. The Global Compact involves all the relevant social actors: governments, who defined the principles on which the initiative is based; companies, whose actions it seeks to influence; labour, in whose hands the concrete process of global production takes place; civil society organizations, representing the wider community of stakeholders; and the United Nations, the world's only truly global political forum, as an authoritative convener and facilitator. 1, record 8, English, - United%20Nations%20Global%20Compact

El Pacto Mundial es una iniciativa voluntaria, en la cual las empresas se comprometen a alinear sus estrategias y operaciones con diez principios universalmente aceptados en cuatro áreas temáticas: derechos humanos, estándares laborales, medio ambiente y anti-corrupción. Por su número de participantes, varios miles en más de 100 países, el Pacto Mundial es la iniciativa de ciudadanía corporativa más grande del mundo. El Pacto es un marco de acción encaminado a la construcción de la legitimación social de los negocios y los mercados. Aquellas empresas que se adhieren al Pacto Mundial comparten la convicción de que las prácticas empresariales basadas en principios universales contribuyen a la construcción de un mercado global más estable, equitativo e incluyente que fomenta sociedades más prósperas. Las empresas, el comercio y la inversión son pilares esenciales para la paz y prosperidad. Pero en muchas áreas, las empresas están ligadas a serios dilemas, como pueden ser la explotación, la corrupción, la inequidad y otras barreras que frenan la innovación y el espíritu empresarial. Las acciones empresariales responsables construyen confianza y capital social, al mismo tiempo que contribuyen al desarrollo y mercados sustentables. 2, record 8, Spanish, - Pacto%20Mundial
