Dominelli L. Climate change: social workers' roles and contributions to policy debates and interventions Int J Soc Welfare 2011: 20: 430–438 © 2011 The Author(s), International Journal of Social Welfare © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the International Journal of Social Welfare. Climate change is seldom discussed in mainstream social work. Its first presentations on the world stage occurred in Copenhagen during the Conference of the Parties (COP15). This article argues that the profession has an important role to play in: helping people understand the issues; promoting sustainable energy production and consumption; mobilising people to protect their futures through community social work; and proposing solutions to greenhouse gas emissions as indicated in two case studies, one based on a community initiative in the Global South, and the other in the Global North. The article also demonstrates that social workers can foster climate change endeavours that are equitable for all, for example the Equitable Carbon Sharing Scheme.     

鲁米与毛拉维耶道统

哲俩伦丁·鲁米是伊斯兰历史上最伟大的苏菲诗人,他的《玛斯纳维》被誉为波斯语的《古兰经》,同时,他也是毛拉维耶苏菲道统的缔造者。爱的宗教、惟一的被爱者、心疼与乐趣、逃离自我以及真主的仁慈是该道统的基本苏菲思想。
