SOC450: Solutions to Global Issues

Week 10 Assignment – Critical Threats to the Global Environment Overview The United Nations has continued to  retain you as a consultant for a project that deals with climate and the  environment. Most developed countries see the dangers of releasing too  much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and are committed to climate  policies that attain a carbon-free future in the next 30 years. They  already see the damaging effects that this gas alone is having on the  living conditions of crops, wildlife, and humans. As a result, many  member states are dissatisfied with the progress of the eight Millennium  Development Goals for international development that they established  in 2000. The member states see a substantial disconnect between several  issues that developed and developing countries believe are priorities.  For example, Burundi wants one of the goals to focus on food security,  while Austria is adamant that a major global issue should be the  negotiation of ceasefires in countries in the midst of civil wars. The  UN wants you to work from the list below and prioritize two of the  global community’s threats that it deems the most serious to  environmental stability. Instructions Step 1 Select two threats. Listed below are  eight issues that the UN feels pose the most significant threats to  global security. Some of these apply to the Earth’s 7.7 billion people,  while others are limited primarily to developing countries. Regardless  of where these threats are concentrated, your job as a consultant is to  identify two of them that you consider the most critical to the globe’s population. Issue Options The use of fossil fuels as an energy source. Globalization. Insufficient educational opportunities in developing countries. A lack of access to technology. Civil war (NOT the U.S. Civil War). The rise in oceans’ levels. Covid-19 and the global pandemic. The dangers of poor countries remaining poor. Step 2 Write a minimum of an 8 page persuasive paper about your two threats. Write an introduction paragraph of at  least one-half page in length identifying the two threats you have  selected and the purpose of the paper. Then, for the two threats you  chose: Identify the factors that make it such a serious risk to the global environment that you would choose to present it to the UN. Analyze the role that humans have played in aggravating this threat to the Earth’s environment. Suggest initiatives that the global community can take to mitigate the worst effects of this environmental threat. Write a conclusion paragraph of at least  one-half page in length that summarizes your impressions of these risks  for global stability.
