This report estimates fossil fuel subsidies to be around USD 425 billion. Such subsidies represent large lost opportunities for governments to invest in renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable development. Removal of consumer subsidies can lead to carbon emission reductions (6 to 8 per cent by 2050 globally), Reductions that can be improved further with a switch or a "SWAP" towards sustainable energy. This report describes the scale and impact of fossil fuel subsidies on sustainable development. It describes the SWAP concept to switch savings made from fossil fuel subsidy reform, towards sustainable energy, energy efficiency and safety nets. The report provides potential SWAP outlines for Bangladesh, Indonesia, Morocco and Zambia. "Making the Switch" was written for the Nordic Council Ministers by the Global Subsidies Initiative of IISD and Gaia Consulting.

Why is it so hard to make lasting changes in our companies, in our communities, and in our own lives? The primary obstacle is a conflict that's built into our brains, say Chip and Dan Heath, authors of the critically acclaimed bestseller Made to Stick. Psychologists have discovered that our minds are ruled by two different systems - the rational mind and the emotional mind—that compete for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie. The rational mind wants to change something at work; the emotional mind loves the comfort of the existing routine. This tension can doom a change effort - but if it is overcome, change can come quickly. In Switch, the Heaths show how everyday people - employees and managers, parents and nurses - have united both minds and, as a result, achieved dramatic results: • The lowly medical interns who managed to defeat an entrenched, decades-old medical practice that was endangering patients • The home-organizing guru who developed a simple technique for overcoming the dread of housekeeping • The manager who transformed a lackadaisical customer-support team into service zealots by removing a standard tool of customer service In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change. Switch shows that successful changes follow a pattern, a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you, whether your interest is in changing the world or changing your waistline.

MAKING A SWITCH He was left alone, unsure of his future...She always thought she knew her path in life until someone got in the way. CAUTION: Alpha hero, bad-boy romance that's utterly addictive and outrageously satisfying. "I love the way this amazing author brings the characters to life before your eyes and makes you feel their emotions ...." 5 stars, Amazon Reviewer Kristin Meadows loves her nights at KinkLink. The club is her outlet to release her desires and as a domme she anticipates the play -- controlling her sub, gaining their trust, their loyalty. She loves it all. So why in the heck is she panting after her best friend's husband's brother? Yeah, the guy equaled sex on a stick but he was no more a sub than she was, and two doms don't play. And to top it all off, the father she never knew she had, turns out to be a thug and suddenly wants to spend quality time with his daughter? Who needs a father figure now? All she's trying to figure out is why she can't get Ryan Boynton out of her head! Ryan Boynton is struggling with his role. Having been a sub the last years and being pushed to his limits he realized the lie he'd been living all this time. He was happy for his brother, he got the girl -- and he wasn't even missing the sharing they used to play, but he did miss his brother's wife's friend, the hot babe he fell for at their wedding. But there's one problem. Neither of them were subs[sg1] [to2] . Neither of them were true doms. So what the hell were they? All Ryan knew, is that it's time to find out -- and that there will be a lot more switching going on. Sometimes finding the love of your life is all about making a switch. The steamy standalone novels in Tara Eldana's Kinklink series are best read in order: TAKING THE LEAD MAKING A SWITCH OFF THE BOOKS
