Congratulations! The United Nations has hired you as a consultant on global issues.

Many of the UN members are not satisfied with the progress of the Millennium Development Goals. They believe that the goals focus on the wrong issues. There is a disconnect between the types of issues the developed countries in the UN believe are priorities versus the issues that developing countries of the UN want to prioritize. For example, the country of Burundi has requested that one of the goals be focused on food security. However, Austria is adamant that the major current global issue is to mediate ceasefires within countries experiencing a civil war.

You have been asked to provide an unbiased perspective and identify the four issues that have the biggest impact on the global environment.

Of the eight major threats listed below, choose the four that you consider the most critical.

Energy sources

Civil war

Globalization

Poor health of entire populations

Lack of educational opportunities

Cultural taboos

Inappropriate uses of technology

Climate change

You will present your findings at the next UN General Assembly. Your goal is to provide a brief history of each issue, the number of countries affected, and the effects of this threat on the world population.

The completed version of this assignment will include the following:

  1. A PowerPoint presentation containing relevant information for the UN General Assembly on four of the eight threats listed above.
    1. The order of your slides should reflect the order of priority you assign to the four threats you have chosen.
  2. Create a minimum of four slides per threat (for a minimum 16 slides total) on the following topics:
    1. A brief history of the threat
    2. The number of countries affected, and how they are affected (giving examples)
    3. The effects of this threat on the world population as a whole
    4. Include a chart or graph (see #4 below).
  3. Each of the four slides will include:
    1. A paragraph in the notes section to explain how the details you have provided in the slide is pertinent to the UN’s discussion on selecting and prioritizing goals.
  4. For each of the four threats, include one visual (graph or chart) to represent the data you have collected. The visual should be incorporated into the information/topics presented in the slides.
  5. Cite at least five credible sources excluding Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias.

THREATS TO GLOBAL
ENVIRONMENT

•Silk road.-This was the trade between China and

Rome between 1st Century BC and 5th century AD.
•Spice trade(7th to 15th century AD.
• Colonialism and conquest age(15th to 18th centuries;
•industrial revolution (18th to early 20th century).
•Life after WW2

The number of countries affected
and how they are affected
 Nearly all countries have been affected by globalization.

For instance, highly globalized countries are mostly in
Europe . These countries include Belgium, Austria,
Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland and Portugal. This is
basically countries which have embraced the electronic
money transfers and basically, their GDP mostly depends
on the global input
 The above-mentioned countries benefit from the
globalised economy in having a large number of foreign
expatriates working in their countries and also purchasing
most of their products from other countries.
 On the contrary, Developing countries mostly from Asia,
Africa and Latin America have also endured both positive
and negative impact of globalization

The effect of globalization on the
world as a whole
 The gap between the poor and the rich nations has

tremendously grown.
 The developing countries benefit through hosting the
multinational companies through increased revenue
which could go a long way in improving the living
standards of their citizenry.
 Some countries like the United States are shying away
from the impacts of globalization .
 Countries are starting to engage in a protectionist
approach whereby they encourage companies to keep
jobs at home

has experienced over 250 wars and/or armed conflicts.
In the cause of this wars over 50 million people lost their dear

have been injured and bereaved.
Some of the wars like the Israeli Palestinian conflict have been
with us since the creation of the nation of Israel in 1948.

The number of countries affected
