Threats to the Global Environment 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 feel that the goals focus on the wrong issues. There is a disconnect between what issues the UN developed countries believe are priorities and what many developing countries feel the prioritized issues should be. For example, the country of Burundi has asked that one of the goals be focused on food security. Austria, however, is adamant that the major current global issue is to mediate ceasefires in countries in the midst of a civil war. You have been asked to provide an unbiased perspective and identify the four issues you feel most impact the global environment. You will present your findings at the next UN General Assembly. Your goal is to provide a history of each issue, the number of countries affected, and the effects of this threat to the world population. Of the eight major threats listed below, choose the four that you consider the most critical. 1. Energy sources 2. Poor health of entire populations 3. Globalization 4. Lack of educational opportunities 5. Inappropriate uses of technology 6. Civil war 7. Cultural taboos 8. Climate change For your paper to the United Nations: 1. Develop a minimum of four paragraph per issue for a minimum total of 16 paragraph. 2. Provide at least a paragraph to explain the reason this information is relevant to the UN’s assessment. 3. For each issue, create a graph or chart to analyze the data you have collected. You should have 4 graph or four chart. 4. Cite at least five credible sources excluding Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias. This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different compared to other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details. (Note: You’ll be prompted to enter your Blackboard login credentials to view these standards.) The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: • Examine the factors that account for why the growth in the world’s population can negatively affect global society.
