This Major Research Paper examines the National Adaptation Plans of the Republic of the Maldives and Germany to determine if and how climate-induced migration is addressed. The paper examines how the receiving-migrant countries, and producing-migrant countries look at the forecasted issue from two different perspectives: securitization, and resiliency. In addition, this paper acknowledges that ad hoc temporary migration pathways have had success when dealing with environmental migration and determines that a formal change to the Convention Refugee definition is not necessary to address climate-induced migration.

Purpose. The aim of the article is the comparison of management and advisory mechanisms for climate change leveling and determination the most significant groups on this basis. Methodology of research. The methodological basis of research consists of methods of comparison and generalization. The comparison of separate management and advisory mechanisms for climate change leveling was fulfilled using the comparison method. Five most significant groups of mechanisms for climate change leveling have been determined on the base of generalization method. Findings. The necessity of deepening participation at different management levels in Ukraine in solving the global warming problem is substantiated on the basis of actualization of management and advisory mechanisms for climate change leveling. It will contribute both solving the problem itself and increasing the international authority of the state. The advisability of realization of measures for climate change leveling is confirmed at the different levels: at governance levels (state, regional, sectoral, enterprise) and by leveling directions (population and business entities). The international management and advisory mechanisms for climate change leveling with identification of five characteristic groups has been generalized. The importance of solving the problem at the different management levels with use of advisory services is proved. It will permit more efficient implementation of advisory mechanisms and reach a wider coverage of solving of the tasks of climate change leveling. Originality. The international management and advisory mechanisms for climate change leveling has been generalized with identification of five characteristic groups: organizational (international organizations), regulatory and legal (conventions, resolutions, declarations), coordinating (conferences, meetings), financial and business (emission limits, environmental taxes), programs and models (models, scenarios, programs, strategies). This, unlike the existing one, gives an opportunity of its differential use in the process of preparing more substantiated management solution of the indicated problem. Practical value. The results of the research can be used in the process of preparing of strategic and program documents of an environmental nature. The effect of its implementation can be estimated by indicators of environmental improvement, in particular by indicators of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, etc. Key words: climate change, climate change leveling, management mechanisms, advisory mechanisms, groups of mechanisms for climate change leveling, agricultural advisory services.

The Kyoto Accord on climate change requires developed countries to achieve CO2-emissions reduction targets, but permits them to charge uptake of carbon (C) in terrestrial (primarily forest) ecosystems against emissions. Countries such as Canada hope to employ massive afforestation programs to achieve Kyoto targets. One reason is that foresters have identified large areas that can be afforested. In this paper, we examine this forestry option, focusing on the economics of afforestation in western Canada. In particular, we develop marginal C uptake curves and show that much less land is available for afforestation than would be the case if economics is ignored. We conclude that, while afforestation is a feasible weapon in the greenhouse policy arsenal, it might not be as effective on an economic basis as many forest-sector analysts make out. Key words: Climate change, economics of afforestation, Kyoto Accord

Este trabalho inicia-se em um breve relato sobre as mais diversas opiniões acerca das mudanças climáticas, enfocando os conceitos de diversos pesquisadores acerca da temática, tão controversa nos meios científicos quanto a nível internacional. Várias opiniões divergem sobre o que realmente originam as mudanças climáticas, a primeira seria que as mudanças climáticas decorrem de ações antropogênicas, provindos do uso de combustíveis fósseis e o crescimento da agricultura alterando na atmosfera um aumento de CO2, que conseqüentemente induziriam a elevação da temperatura, ou seja, ao aquecimento global, entretanto, existem argumentos que se contrapõem ao aquecimento global de longo prazo e defendem um resfriamento global gradativo, baseando-se que o clima sofre influência de forças como o sol e os seus ciclos e os oceanos que cobrem 71% da superfície e que são os grandes reservatórios de calor, e que as mudanças climáticas são de ordem natural, pois a interferência humana é insignificante e apenas traz mudanças a nível local. Essas divergências científicas necessitam de comprovações, pois precisamos entender as conseqüências reais desse processo. Se realmente estamos caminhando para um aquecimento ou resfriamento e se as mudanças climáticas são de ordem natural ou antropogênicas.Palavras- chave: Mudanças climáticas, Aquecimento global, Resfriamento global, Divergências científicas.  The paradox of Climate Change in Brazil: Heating or Cooling?  ABSTRACTThis work begins in a brief report on the diverse views on climate change, focusing on the concepts of various researchers on the theme, so controversial in scientific circles as internationally. Various opinions differ on what really causes climate change, the first climate change that would result from anthropogenic activities, stemming from the use of fossil fuels growth in agriculture and the changing atmosphere in a CO2 increase, which consequently leads to a rise in temperature, or global warming, however, there are arguments to oppose the long-term global warming and advocate a gradual global cooling, based on the climate is influenced by forces like the sun and its cycles and the oceans that cover 71 % of the surface and are the great reservoirs of heat, and that climate change is a natural one, because human interference is negligible and only brings changes at the local. These differences need scientific proof, because we need to understand the real consequences of this process. If we are really heading for a heating or cooling and climate change are of a natural or anthropogenic. Key words: Climate change, Global warming, Global cooling, Scientific differences.

I denne artikel vises eksempler på kristne former for økoteologi, der forholder sig til udsigterne til omfattende klimaforandringer. Disse eksempler sammenlignes med Bruno Latours seneste økoteologiske eksperiment med henblik på at vise, hvordan teologiske og antropologiske perspektiver væver sig ind i hinanden, og med det formål at identificere centrale begreber for en antropologi om klima- forandringernes metafysik. Selv om Latours projekt formentlig falder mellem alt for mange veletablerede perspektiver, foreslås det, at der i studiet af klimaforan- dringer skabes en opmærksomhed over for de nye hybride former for metafysik, som opstår i de mange moralske, praktiske og politiske spørgsmål i kølvandet på de videnskabelige beskrivelser af klimaforandringer og befolkningernes erfaringer med at leve i en forandret verden. Søgeord: klimaforandringer, metafysik, kristendom, moral, natur.English: The Metaphysics of Climate Change. The World as Nature, Environment and CreationIn this paper examples of Christian eco-theology that respond to the prospects of major climate change are reviewed and contrasted with a recent eco-theological experiment launched by Bruno Latour. The aim of the article is to identify how theological and anthropological perspectives are interwoven and, moreover, to discuss how an anthropology of the metaphysics of climate change may develop an explorative repertoire of concepts. Although Latour’s project may fall between too many well established perspectives, it is suggested that the study of the metaphysics of climate change keep an eye open to the new hybrid forms of metaphysics; these forms appear in the many moral, practical and political questions that follow in the wake of the scientific findings of climate change and the experiences of people living in a changing environment.

Little is known about the extent to which climate change drives migration from the Pacific atoll nation of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). How and to what extent the youth of RMI aspire to migrate to other countries was investigated through a survey of 106 students at the Marshall Islands Campus of the University of the South Pacific (RMI-USP). While 44% of respondents indicated an aspiration to move abroad either for study or employment, and most students were well aware of the adverse effects of climate change, climate change was not cited as the primary reason or motivation for migration. Analysis of data in a second study explored the University’s tracking data of Foundation Year graduates from the RMI-USP Joint Education Program. This analysis found that students who have studied abroad are more likely to have the opportunity to either stay abroad or to migrate at some time after their studies.

The Subject

Migration is one of the oldest and most used strategies for overcoming negative social issues. Despite the fact that it is historically deeply rooted, environmental migration as a social phenomenon has only recently become the subject research of numerous scientific fields. However, the study of current environmental migration is characterized by a number of issues, such as absence of an adequate definition and multi-causality of environmental migration. In this paper, through conceptual framework, author analyzed two main questions: who are environmental migrants and what reasons cause environmental migration. Due to the destruction of the global environmental balance, as well as accumulated environmental disturbances, it is likely that environmental migration will increase in future and there is nowhere you cannot make more use of scientific and professional projection of the future than in demographic and environmental spheres of human life. There is no doubt that our future is unpredictable. However, the environmental factors influencing the pattern of human interaction with the environment must be taken into account when projecting future development of the modern society. Such is the context in which the complex relation among migration, change and the environment has to be studied. In order to establish the basis for controlling environmental migration caused by negative changes in the environment, it is necessary to adopt a consistent strategy instead of ad hoc activities that are being used. In this paper, author analyzed societal response for the challenges caused by environmental migration, specifically regarding actions related to governing environmental migrations.

The development of international cooperation in the field of culture is extremely important, since it ensures wide and in-depth interaction between states and peoples, makes a real opportunity for dialogue, unites the cultures of the peoples of the world. Two fraternal countries have actively taken root in international cultural exchange; Azerbaijan and Tatarstan. Azerbaijan is a multicultural country that is home to many peoples and ethnic minorities. Representatives of the peoples inhabiting this region are full citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan, including the Tatars. The radical transformations that befell these countries at the end of the twentieth century influenced future events and their development. The Azerbaijani and Tatar peoples, whose relations have a long history, are linked by a common origin, similarity of language, culture and traditions. The relationship between the two peoples has strengthened even more during the years of independence.
