Problem Global water challenge have generated some problems which cause the people don’t have access to adequate supplies of safe drinking water and adequate sanitation. At this moment, there have nearly billion of people in the developing world don't have access to it. According to ( Samuel Taylor Coleridge , 2015 ) states that about 1 out of every 6 people living today do not have adequate access to water, and more than double that number lack basic sanitation, for which water is needed. In some
Climate Change on Account of Urban Sprawl and its Environmental Costs and GHG Emissions Introduction Today, population growth has never been increasing so rapidly. Hence, there has been a continuous urban population agglomeration growth. Particularly in the Global South, many researchers have been projecting the world's total urban population would double by 2050. Consequently, challenges arise as urban growth increases. It is important to consider many aspects such as air and water pollution, providing
Task 1 Can polar bears and people coexist? Polar bears are the largest land predator on earth today. They live in the Arctic area, surrounded by the northern nations like Norway, Greenland and Canada. The effects of global warming have caused the temperatures to rise, which have led the Arctic ice to melt. Because the polar bears’ territory is shrinking, they are forced to hunt further inland. They usually hunt on the sea ice, but they cannot do that now. A polar bear can starve for months, but
of factories to be able to supply those demands. When the product is manufactured the machines usually give off carbon dioxide. This is negative because CO2 is the gas that causes global warming, when too much is released into the atmosphere. One negative factor of TNCs is air pollution; one major result of air pollution is smog, which is a smoke fog. Many TNCs have their factories in China, this is a reason why China is one of the most polluted countries in the world. One of Apple’s main suppliers
“Poverty is the greatest enemy of the environment” Poverty has and will always have it’s place in our world.As the rich prospers and increase their standard of living,the poor continues to get poorer and poorer, facing more and more challenges such as malnutrition and the lack of access to clean water.Poverty is defined as the state of being extremely poor or the condition of being inferior in quality and insufficient in amount.An enemy is one who deliberately sabotages and make things extremely
1. Introduction Pollution is an unwanted change in the environment caused by the introduction of harmful materials or the production of harmful conditions (Botkin & Keller, 2014). Urban air pollution is basically the collection of pollutants created by cities (http://en.cyberdodo.com/files/cyberdodo-and-urban-pollution/1.html). Air quality in cities is the result of a complex interaction between natural and anthropogenic environmental conditions. Air pollution in cities is a serious environmental
Climate change is likely to be “one of the most significant development challenges confronting Southeast Asia in the 21st century” (Asian Development Bank, 2009, p. 8). It is the major challenges around the world, indirectly it also brings a great pressure to our society. From ever-changing weather patterns that rising sea level and affecting food production, the impact of climate change is world-wide. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its 4th Assessment Report has confirmed
do to get a better life, these two are inseparable. There was a huge change in our life today, human life is now much easier than it used to thanks to the human development. However, the more we developed the more we harm the environment. the question is “Is Human development possible without an environmental cost?” We Disagree because of the overpopulation that has a negative impact of the environment such as global climate change and depletion of natural resource. In addition, we can underestimate
Aviation over the years has increased tremendously. The increase in flight has brought about growing concerns on its effects on the environment with regards to climate change. The aviation industry is quite diverse. Aviation is a critical part of our national economy, providing for the movement of people and goods throughout the world, enabling our economic growth. Air transport is one of the world’s most important industries. “Its development and its technical and service achievements make it one
understanding of human activities in a market system. Environment is the vital, important and fundamental issue for everyone. Since climate change and global warming of the world is continuing, society demands that business take responsibility to save us from tough heating, extra greenhouse gas, fumy air, extreme rain etc. Our policy makers gave attentiveness on the climate change recently. They also concerned so that to greener environment economy. Economics is the key and a major focusing object for any
