PART 2
Due in Week 10 and worth 100 points
The information you provided in your presentation on Threats to the Global Environment has led to productive debates at the UN General Assembly! There are now questions about prioritizing the issues at hand. Some of the countries are challenging your recommendations and questioning your reasons for not including the issues they believe are priority.
From the initial eight global threats, there are four remaining threats that you did not choose in the list of major global issues. Review the list of topics and reflect on two that you did notuse in last week’s assignment. Defend your reason for considering these topics lower in priority than the ones in your presentation.
| Energy sources | Civil war |
| Globalization | Poor health of entire populations |
| Lack of educational opportunities | Cultural taboos |
| Inappropriate uses of technology | Climate change |
