The core of the system is the long-term care allowance, which is a social right in Austria. (...) In 2013, around 5 per cent of Austria’s population received long-term care benefits. The introduction of the long-term care allowance was an important step towards enabling older persons to remain at home as long as possible and to lead independent lives. 67. (...) On 1 January 2012, a comprehensive reform of long-term care benefits entered into force. The reform led to the takeover of the long-term care benefits of the Länder in the legislation and execution at federal level.

REPORT OF THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL SUBCOMMITTEE ON ITS FIFTY-SIXTH SESSION 9. LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF OUTER SPACE ACTIVITIES

In keeping with the COP 14 decision that requested the GEF to consider the long-term implementation of the strategic program on technology transfer, the GEF has identified technology transfer as a longer-term priority in the climate change focal area for GEF-5 programming. (...) In response to decision 2/CP.14, the GEF submitted a Long-Term Program on Technology Transfer to COP 16. (...) Under SCCF-A, more than 50 per cent of projects focus explicitly on technology transfer. 33. The progress made in Long-Term Program implementation was reported to COP 17.

New legislation on long-term care and long-term insurance has been under preparation since 2005, but has still not been enacted. (...) Long-term care and health care are regulated under different legislation and financed by different stakeholders. (...) The Independent Expert was informed that the long-term care and long-term care insurance act under preparation gives special attention to the education of long-term care providers and introduces a special chapter on quality assurance.

As a result of the priority given to home ownership, the rental sector is limited: only 2 per cent of all housing stock is allocated to social housing, one of the lowest rates in Europe. Rental as a long-term alternative to ensuring access to affordable and well-located housing is no longer the preferred tenure system in Portugal. (...) Moreover, under the former regime, tenants benefited from strict, long-term rent control, in which case many paid a nominal sum each month. (...) In addition, only a few neighbourhoods in the historic centres of Lisbon and Porto have more than 10 per cent of their housing stock devoted to short-term accommodation. 64. Short-term rentals, especially when they become the primary form of occupation of specific neighbourhoods, can weaken community networks and the social fabric of a city, which in turn undermines the promotion of long-term rental as an essential tenure system for local residents.

In keeping with the COP14 decision that requested the GEF to consider the long-term implementation of the strategic program on technology transfer, the GEF has identified technology transfer as a longer-term priority in the climate change focal area for GEF-5 programming. 36. (...) COP decision 2/CP.14 requested that GEF report to the COP at its 16th session to consider long-term implementation of the strategic program.

Also recognizes that in order for carbon dioxide capture and storage in geological formations to be included under the clean development mechanism, long-term liability for the storage site, including liability for any seepage during and beyond the crediting period of the project, must be clearly assigned and the project boundary must be clearly defined; 3 bis. [Also recognizes that long-term liability for the storage site, including liability for any seepage during and beyond the crediting period of the project, must be clearly assigned and the project boundary must be clearly defined in the design of carbon dioxide capture and storage in geological formations under the clean development mechanism;] 4.
