Quarterly on Refugee Problems (2, 2)
Get PDFThis issue analyses from a retrospective view which factors influenced Syrian refugees’ decision-making in the context of forced migration and flight. Another contribution explores the religiosity of Muslim refugees in Germany as a potential resource for social work interventions. The Anogeia Reception Centre for Minor Asylum Seekers, Greece's first reception centre for unaccompanied minors, is introduced as an example of best practice from the perspective of critical social work. A second practitioner report sheds light on how a platform provided by asylum seeker-led organizations in Hong Kong was used to cope with challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Last but not least, very recent developments on the universal and European level are looked upon with respect to UNHCR's freshly published Global Trends report as well as the latest dynamics on the reform of the European Union's migration and asylum policies
Supply costs of green chemical energy carriers at the European border: A meta-analysis
No full textImporting green chemical energy carriers is crucial for meeting European climate targets. However, estimating the costs of supplying these energy carriers to Europe remains challenging, leading to a wide range of reported supply-cost estimates. This study analyzes the estimated supply costs of green chemical energy carriers at the European border using a dataset of 1050 data points from 30 studies. The results reveal significant variations in supply costs, with a projected four-fold difference in 2030 and a five-fold difference in 2050 across all energy carriers. The main drivers of cost differences are varying production costs, particularly influenced by the weighted average costs of capital and capital expenditures of renewable energy sources, electrolyzers, and carrier-specific conversion processes. Transport costs also contribute to variations, mainly influenced by the choice of energy carrier and the weighted average costs of capital. To optimize cost-efficiency and sustainability in the chemical energy carrier sector, this paper recommends prioritizing transparency and sensitivity analyses of key input parameters, classifying energy carriers based on technological and economic status, and encouraging research and development to reduce production costs

Get PDFZeitgemäßes Wertemanagement als Basis jeder Nachhaltigkeit in der Unternehmensführung und jeden glaubwürdigen Nachhaltigkeitsmanagements berücksichtigt gleichermaßen Menschen und die Organisation. Eingebettet in das Grundverständnis von Sinnfragen der handelnden Akteure ist es eine wertebezogene Daueraufgabe, in Organisationen diskursethisch und reflexiv ein optimal verbindendes und strategieunterstützendes, einzigartiges Werteportfolio zu identifizieren, zu managen und weiterzuentwickeln. Wie dieses sinnzentrierte Wertemanagement gelingt, wird anhand der Grundlagen des praxisorientierten Wertemanagementkreislaufs erläutert
