AbstractDevelopment cooperation actors have been addressing climate change as a cross-cutting issue and investing in climate adaptation projects since the early 2000s. More recently, as concern has risen about the potential impacts of climate variability and change on human mobility, development cooperation actors have begun to design projects that intentionally address the drivers of migration, including climate impacts on livelihoods. However, to date, we know little about the development cooperation’s role and function in responding to climate related mobility and migration. As such, the main aim of this paper is to outline the policy frameworks and approaches shaping development cooperation actors’ engagement and to identify areas for further exploration and investment. First, we frame the concept of climate mobility and migration and discuss some applicable policy frameworks that govern the issue from various perspectives; secondly, we review the toolbox of approaches that development cooperation actors bring to climate mobility; and third, we discuss the implications of the current Covid-19 pandemic and identify avenues for the way forward. We conclude that ensuring safe and orderly mobility and the decent reception and long-term inclusion of migrants and displaced persons under conditions of more severe climate hazards, and in the context of rising nationalism and xenophobia, poses significant challenges. Integrated approaches across multiple policy sectors and levels of governance are needed. In addition to resources, development cooperation actors can bring data to help empower the most affected communities and regions and leverage their convening power to foster more coordinated approaches within and across countries.

In the Anthropocene, climate impacts are expected to fundamentally change the way we live in, and plan and design for, our cities and landscapes. Long-term change and uncertainty require a long view, while current planning approaches and policy making are mostly short-term oriented and are therefore not well suited to respond adequately. The path-dependency it implies causes an irresolvable dilemma between short-term effect and long-term necessities. The objective of the research is to investigate an alternative planning and design approach which is able to overcome the current constraints and take a holistic long-term perspective. Therefore, the methods used in the study underpin a creative process of future visioning through backcasting and finding a dynamic equilibrium in the past as a primer for long-term climate adaptation. This way, the individual vulnerabilities of current sectoral policies can be leapfrogged and integrated into one intervention. This design-led method is applied to the northern landscape of the Groningen region in The Netherlands. This intervention is positioned as a re-dynamization of the landscape by re-establishing the exchange between the land and the sea. The findings in the study show that a long-term perspective on the future of the regional landscape increases climate adaptation and enriches the opportunities for viable agriculture, increased biodiversity, and a raised land that is not only protected against possible storm surges, but benefits from the sediments the sea brings. The economic analysis shows that a new perspective for farming within saline conditions is profitable on a fraction of the land, the biodiversity can be enriched by more than 75%, and the ground level of the landscape can be raised by one meter or more in the next 50–100 years. Moreover, the study shows how a long-term perspective can be implemented in logic stages that comply with the natural step-changes occurring in climate change.

Human mobility and tourism development: a complex knot of enfolded mobilities.

Abstract This chapter advances two main arguments: first, that tourism and migration are strongly inter-related, and that this is due to both their shared structural determinants (for example, transport infrastructures) in the form of scapes, and to the enfolded nature of mobility. That is, individual mobilities are enfolded over time, with earlier migration experiences influencing later patterns of tourism and vice versa. Second, it is argued that there are two main economic development outcomes of the migration-tourism nexus. The first is seen in the roles of individuals as consumers, that is, as tourists. Tourism expenditures convert into income and jobs so that migration flows have long-term implications for future tourism expenditure patterns. And secondly, migration plays an important role in the territorial redistribution of resources; migrants are bearers of knowledge, skills, competences and capital.

Role And Function

In recent years, a strong case has been made by education and health theorists for an allocation of resources aimed at preventing the onset of psychological, social and educational problems among school aged children. Psychologists, counsellors, and educators working in the field have, however, tended to focus their limited resources on established problem areas and crisis intervention, rather than on preventive programs. This paper questions the long-term effectiveness of “bandaid” intervention and develops a broader conceptual framework for the delivery of psychological services to a school community. A service model is proposed that balances the traditional focus on remediation with an emphasis on the prevention of psycho-educational problems. Attention is given to the role and function of the school counsellor in the implementation of such a model.

Surabaya is one of the cities with the highest divorce rates in East Java. One of the efforts made is to conduct interventions to improve family resilience in Surabaya. Activities to improve family resilience are carried out through understanding eight family functions and the implementation of the eight family functions. The goal of the equal family development activity is to increase the role of family members in realizing a quality and equal family. Other goals in the long term can reduce divorce rates and increase family resilience, increase gender equality in the family, improve the role and function of husband and wife in the family, increase the roles of men and women in educating children, and implement children's rights in the family. Socially, family resilience must be built through increasing the capacity of family members. Family resilience is also closely related to the gender construction that develops in society.

The use and forms of ecological and economic assessment of protected sites and areas in the Lviv region are analysed . The functional nature of the object value determining is indicated and the long–term plans to increase reserve indicator area is noted. The role and function of the object depends on its type and category. In Lviv region the most common (with respect to area) are national parks, regional landscape parks and nature reserves. Designing of protected objects is conducted mainly with account of their inclusion in the ecological network. Because of its multifunctions nature the  national parks are a promising direction for the development and expansion of natural reserve fund. Objects that are created must be environmentally effective and economically justified. The role of the recreational function of the parks increases while choosing the directions of development. Formation of new units in this category of protected areas should take place, taking into account a number of criteria: environmental, economic, logistic and environment–psychological. National parks in regional environmental network segment will promote the development of sustainable tourism in the region and will form a positive image of the region for recreation Lviv region using its unique geographical position.

With the growing insurrections in Syria in 2011, an exodus in large numbers have emerged. The turmoil and violence have caused mass migration to destinations both within the region and beyond. The current "refugee crisis" has escalated sharply and its impact is widening from neighbouring countries toward Europe. Today, the Syrian crisis is the major cause for an increase in displacement and the resultant dire humanitarian situation in the region. Since the conflict shows no signs of abating in the near future, there is a constant increase in the number of Syrians fleeing their homes. However, questions on the future impact of the Syrian crisis on the scope and scale of this human mobility are still to be answered. As the impact of the Syrian crisis on host countries increases, so does the demand for the analyses of the needs for development and protection in these countries. In this special issue, we aim to bring together a number of studies examining and discussing human mobility in relation to the Syrian crisis.
