4. Overpopulation is becoming a very big concern because no one knows how many people Earth can hold. The quality of life is decreasing because feeding the world population is destroying the planet.…

Some of the few current environmental problems include: pollution, global warming, natural resource and ozone layer depletion, climate change,…
Another problem is or are droughts. Droughts are increasing with tragic and horrible consequences for the hungry and poor people in developing countries. A drought is one of the most common causes of food shortages in the world. Droughts cause crops to fail, and it is hard to grow any foods, especially in hot places near the equator, it happens. Prices on food make it difficult for the poorest people to access nutritious food consistently. Which is another (small) problem. Website is from What causes…
World population is a constant problem since 1900(Horiuchi, 1992) and it still grows at least in the next 40 years. There is a forecast that there will be 9.2 billion people in the world of 2050 predicted by the Royal Society (Black, 2010). How to prevent people from starving is a much more serious issue than the global financial crisis. The climate change caused by human activities is also damaging the food supply system. Environmental problems such as global warming or acid rain are changing the land and water for food production, making some of them not suitable to produce food.…
External debt and domestic financial crises generate substantial social costs. As it happens, poor sectors of society pay a substantial share of the costs of adjustment to debt crises, whereas they benefit rather marginally from financial booms. The experience of many developing countries in several regions of the world also indicates that the social effects of debt crises continue to afflict countries even after several years of successful economic restructuring and recovery. The recent crisis has demonstrated a fundamental problem in the global economy: the enormous discrepancy that exists between an increasingly sophisticated and dynamic international financial world, with rapid globalization of financial portfolios, and the lack of a proper institutional framework to regulate it. In summary, existing institutions are inadequate to deal with financial globalization. This systemic deficiency and the…
One of the most current issues concerning modern times would be climate change. Because of this issue, it has caused controversy among many people. In recent times, many scientists have agreed that climate change is a real phenomena. However, despite the current scientific backings by a number of accredited scientists, very little has been done to try to solve this predicament. To me, the problem of addressing climate change would be due to a variety of political reasons. Many politicians around the world believe this whole issue to be a hoax because it is either some grand scheme to destroy industrialization and the advancement of civilization or that this idea contrasts greatly with their political ideals. The government’s role of making…
In my opinion the world’s biggest problem is world hunger because, it causes 45% of deaths in children under five each year. In fact hunger and malnutrition are in fact the #1 risk to health worldwide - greater AIDs, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. In the United States alone there is an estimate of about 795 million people, or one in nine, were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2014-2016 . I believe the origin of this problem is overpopulation. The next crisis humanity will face will be a shortage of global food…

The main problem with respect to global warming is the fact that the environmental changes will entail severe consequences for the planet. Consequently, the biggest threat is lack of action. Moreover, it concerns nations, companies and average people, and if no one takes responsibility,…

Global warming, pollution, poverty, famine. Will those still be mondial problems or will people realize the importance of ecological impact in the day by day problems ?…
Air Pollution is another major problem that has not be resolved. It is known that an issue of the magnitude like air pollution cannot be resolved over night. It is stated that the air is 99.9% nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, and inert gases. As humans we depend on the air around us to live, without air we as humans would not survive very long without quality air. Although we rely on air as a much needed source in order to stay alive, the air is still loaded with and polluted with chemicals and other harmful particles. Pollution of the atmosphere and the air around us is air pollution, and this is becoming more "popular" everyday. There are several specific types of air pollution that include smog, acid rain, the greenhouse effect, and "holes" in the ozone layer. The types are tremendously harmful to the environment and it can be harmful to any living thing that breathes in the harmful air.…
Global warming has far-reaching impact on biodiversity and climatic conditions of the planet. In actual fact, nature is warning us through climate change that the clock, for our doom’s day, has started ticking. Global warming modifies rainfall patterns, amplifies coastal erosion, lengthens the growing season in some regions, melts ice caps and glaciers. Warmer weather, rising sea levels and floods are just some of the problems but in reality we are sitting on a volcano ready to erupt. These are signals of a transition that will decide the destiny of this planet and all living things.…
Overpopulation, pollution and energy consumption have created such planet-wide problems as massive deforestation, ozone depletion, acid rains and the global warming that is believed to be coused by the greenhouse effect.…
