ture (DG EAC) in cooperation with 13 E...uropean partners under the leadership of the German Gymnastic Federation (DTB). “ActiveAge” was set up as a transnational project that fosters the exchange of knowledge and experience to counteract the physical inactivity of elderly people through capacity building for physical activities and sport programs of aging people in well-
structured and wide-spread settings, with the starting point in sport-organizations.
The handbook is intended to be used as a guideline for further activities of the “European Platform Active Aging in Sport” (EPAAS), which will continue the mission of the ActiveAge Project. Furthermore the handbook should serve as well for any other stakeholder interested to promote physical activities and sport for elderly people.

What at first glance appears to be simple causality – climate change leading to more and more migration – has triggered intense academic debate over the past ten years because the circumstances are complex. There is need for a thorough analysis in the ground between denying the problem and asser...ting immediate causality. In international relations, migration induced by climate change and environmental degradation is increasingly recognized as a problem, whether in the framework of international climate policy, international migration policy, development cooperation, or international crisis management. But considering the dimension of these major challenges, only small steps have been taken so far. The scope of the problem continues to be underestimated. Climate change is jeopardizing the livelihoods of more and more people. It is a risk multiplier. Although understanding of the connection between climate change and migration has increased, many questions have yet to be answered. We need more knowledge to better support the people affected.

What measures can we take to overcome the corona crisis, limit its consequences or use scarce resources efficiently? Every day we experience uncertainties and contradictions on these questions among scientists, health experts, politicians and in society. We must all strive for a broad consensus to o...vercome the global COVID-19 pandemic. With our publications IM FOKUS we want to stimulate discussion and promote opinion-forming: We write based on our experience of HIV work. We are not interested in COVID-19 to be equated with HIV, but to discuss which experiences from HIV work could be helpful in dealing with COVID-19. We do not intend to replace scientific papers, nor can we present the current state of knowledge comprehensively and conclusively.

Die weltweite Ungleichheit bei der Verteilung von Einkommen und Vermögen weit jenseits dessen, was sich durch Unterschiede der Belastung oder Verantwortung durch die jeweilige Arbeitstätigkeit begründen ließe, stellt schon für sich genommen eine gewaltige Ungerechtigkeit dar. Sie steht auch in ...einem gefährlichen Gegensatz zu unverzichtbaren Grundwerten des gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens wie menschliche Solidarität und gleichberechtigte Beteiligung an der demokratischen Willensbildung. Noch bedrohlicher ist aber, dass sie die benachteiligten Menschen ihrer Lebenschancen beraubt. Einerseits werden diese gezwungen, extreme Risiken einzugehen, um ihre wirtschaftliche Existenz zu sichern oder brutaler Gewalt und Verfolgung zu entkommen. Andererseits reichen die verfügbaren Ressourcen nicht aus, um wenigstens lebensbewahrende Gesundheitsdienste bereitzustellen. Der Beitrag analysiert die Finanzierung der allgemeinen Gesundheitsversorgung in wirtschaftlich benachteiligten Ländern, die als wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Verwirklichung der Agenda 2030 gelten.
