These instructions are very important as they highlight specifics that need to be in this paper. Please read it carefully.
Overview
The
United Nations has continued to retain you as a consultant for a project that
deals with climate and the environment. Most developed countries see the
dangers of releasing too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and are
committed to climate policies that attain a carbon-free future in the next 30
years. They already see the damaging effects that this gas alone is having on
the living conditions of crops, wildlife, and humans. As a result, many member
states are dissatisfied with the progress of the eight Millennium Development
Goals for international development that they established in 2000. The member
states see a substantial disconnect between several issues that developed and
developing countries believe are priorities. For example, Burundi wants one of
the goals to focus on food security, while Austria is adamant that a major
global issue should be the negotiation of ceasefires in countries in the midst
of civil wars. The UN wants you to work from the list below and prioritize two
of the global community’s threats that it deems the most serious to
environmental stability.
Step 1
Select
two threats. Listed below are eight issues that the UN feels pose the most
significant threats to global security. Some of these apply to the Earth’s 7.7
billion people, while others are limited primarily to developing countries.
Regardless of where these threats are concentrated, your job as a consultant is
to identify two of them that you consider the most critical to the globe’s
population.
Issue Options
The use of fossil fuels as an energy source.
Globalization.
Insufficient educational opportunities in developing countries.
A lack of access to technology.
Civil war (NOT
the U.S. Civil War).
The rise in oceans’ levels.
Covid-19 and the global pandemic. (I would recommend using this as one of them)
The dangers of poor countries remaining poor. (and this as the second)
Step 2
Write a
minimum of an 8-page persuasive paper about your two threats.
Write
an introduction paragraph of at least one-half page in length identifying the
two threats you have selected and the purpose of the paper. Then, for the two
threats you chose:
Identify the
factors that make it such a serious risk to the global environment that
you would choose to present it to the UN.
Analyze the role
that humans have played in aggravating this threat to the Earth’s environment.
Suggest
initiatives that the global community can take to mitigate the worst effects of this environmental threat.
Write a conclusion paragraph of at least one-half page in length that summarizes your impressions of these risks for global stability.

In order to earn full credit, the answers to each of the three questions must be at least two full pages long, making six pages. You must also include the one-half page introduction and one-half page conclusion at the beginning and end of the paper, adding up to one page of content. Finally, you must include a graph or table (see 5, below) that will be at least one page in length. The entire paper will be a minimum of eight pages long.

You need only one graph for the entire assignment, and although you may download this item from the Internet, it may be no longer than one page in length. You must comprehensively explain beneath the graph what the data means. Otherwise, it will be of no use to the reader.
