TL;DR: Juncker et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a new architecture for the European building stock to transform the building stock from being an energy waster to an energy producer, with a clear, coherent and decentralised governance structure including an energy renovation facilitator and a risk sharing pool cascaded at different levels of governance.
Abstract: Energy renovation is instrumental for reaching the EU 2020 goals. It has implications for growth and jobs, energy and climate and cohesion policies. Renovating existing buildings is a 'win-win' option for the EU economy. In 2011, specialised construction activities that include renovation work and energy retrofits employed three times as many people as energy supply to meet the needs of buildings for the same value added. The phasing-out of inefficient buildings from the European building stock requires an EU renovation plan. To be successful, this plan should incorporate the existing EU policy frameworks for growth and jobs, energy and climate and those related to cohesion policies into one single framework targeting the modernisation of the overall value chain of the building sector. Converting Europe’s building stock from being an energy waster to being an energy producer would require a clear, coherent and decentralised governance structure including an Energy Renovation Facilitator and a Risk Sharing Pool cascaded at different levels of governance. Mechanisms to develop projects at scale by bundling smaller projects and to create cluster of accredited companies specialised in energy renovation would also be needed. Utility data must be unlocked and the cost of energy renovation made more transparent so that investment needs could be better assessed. A regional approach prioritising less developed regions, especially those in Member States with per capita GDPs below the EU average, is fundamental to ensuring that all EU citizens can live in comfortable homes and limiting the impact of inefficient houses on public finances and health. 3 'I would also like to significantly enhance energy efficiency beyond the 2020 objective, notably when it comes to buildings, and I am in favour of an ambitious, binding target to this end. I want the European Union to lead the fight against global warming ahead of the United Nations Paris meeting in 2015 and beyond. We owe this to future generations.'

TL;DR: The authors discusses the lessons that the U.S. and Russian governments can reportedly learn from the first Cold War involving the two nations during the 20th century, focusing on an international crisis involving two countries in 2014 in the wake of Russia's intervention in Ukraine.
Abstract: The article discusses the lessons that the U.S. and Russian governments can reportedly learn from the first Cold War involving the two nations during the 20th century, focusing on an international crisis involving the two countries in 2014 in the wake of Russia's intervention in Ukraine. American-Russian relations are addressed in relation to a war between Russia and Georgia in 2008. U.S. President Barack Obama's administration and the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) are examined, along with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sober, technically based study of how to make the second nuclear era safe and successful is presented, based on a study sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Abstract: The thrust of this book is that nuclear power should be fixed, not buried. It is based on a study sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This book is a sober, technically based study of how to make the second nuclear era safe and successful.
TL;DR: An overview of the New Strategic Arms Reductions Treaty (START) can be found in this paper, including a comparison to the original START Treaty, the belief of the Obama Administration and outside analysts that New START will enhance U.S. national security, and the criticisms of those who say that new START is a distraction from more important items on the nonproliferation agenda.
