Climate Change Could Cost Europe $260 Billion
;42 billion) and agriculture ($24.5 billion/€18 billion). The results also confirm the geographically unbalanced distribution of climate change related damages. For the purpose of this study, the European Union is divided into five regions. What the study identifies as southern Europe and central Europe south (see background for details) would bear most of the burden (- 70%), whereas the northern Europe region would experience the lowest welfare losses (- 1%), followed by the UK and Ireland region (- 5%) and central Europe North (- 24%). However, the report also shows that welfare impacts
First Pipe Produced for South Stream’s Offshore Section
in early summer, so that the construction of the first line of South Stream's offshore section will start in autumn 2014. South Stream is Gazprom's global infrastructure project aimed at constructing a gas pipeline with a capacity of 63 billion cubic meters across the Black Sea to Southern and Central Europe for the purpose of diversifying the natural gas export routes and eliminating transit risks. South Stream's offshore section will consist of four lines, each exceeding 930 kilometers. Pipe supply contracts for the first line were awarded to EUROPIPE from Germany (50 percent of the total
First Line of Baltic Sea Pipe to be Laid by Saipem
;Bulgaria. Each line will be made up of over 75,000 size 12-meter pipes. South Stream is Gazprom's global infrastructure project aimed at constructing a gas pipeline with a capacity of 63 billion cubic meters across the Black Sea to Southern and Central Europe for the purpose of diversifying the natural gas export routes and eliminating transit risks. The first gas will be supplied via South Stream in late 2015. The gas pipeline will reach its full capacity in 2018.
