Week 6 Assignment – The Impact of Climate Change on Food Security
Overview
The United Nations (UN) has hired you as a consultant, and your task is to assess the impact that global warming is expected to have on population growth and the ability of societies in the developing world to ensure the adequate security of their food supplies.
Case Assessment
As the world’s population nears 10 billion by 2050, the effects of global warming are stripping some natural resources from the environment. As they diminish in number, developing countries will face mounting obstacles to improving the livelihoods of their citizens and stabilizing their access to enough food. The reason these governments are struggling even now is that our climate influences their economic health and the consequent diminishing living standards of their peoples. Climate changes are responsible for the current loss of biodiversity as well as the physical access to some critical farming regions. As such, these changes in global weather patterns diminish agricultural output and the distribution of food to local and international markets. These difficulties will become even more significant for these countries as the Earth’s climate changes for the worse. Temperatures are already increasing incrementally, and polar ice caps are melting, so the salient question is: what does this suggest for developing societies?
The issue before the developing world is not its lack of food, but rather how to gain access to food. Simply put, changes in our climate are affecting the global food chain, and hence, the living standards of entire populations. Added to this is the fact that food is not getting to where it is needed in time to prevent hunger or starvation. In many developing countries, shortages are due to governments’ control over distribution networks rather than an insufficient supply of food itself. In effect, these governments are weaponizing food by favoring certain ethnic or religious groups over others. When added to dramatic climate changes that we are experiencing even now, the future for billions of poor people looks increasingly dim.
You are to write a minimum of a 5 page persuasive paper for the UN that addresses the following questions about the relationship between atmospheric weather patterns and food security in the developing world:
Climate change and global warming are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same phenomenon. What are the differences between the two concepts and what leads to the confusion between them?
In 1900, the average global temperature was about 13.7° Celsius (56.7° Fahrenheit) (Osborn, 2021), but as of 2020, the temperature has risen another 1.2°C to 14.9°C (58.9°F). According to the Earth and climate science community, if the Earth’s surface temperature rises another 2°C (3.6°F), we will suffer catastrophic weather patterns that, among other things, will raise sea levels, cause widespread droughts and wildfires, result in plant, insect, and animal extinctions, and reduce agricultural productivity throughout the world (Mastroianni, 2015 and Lindsey & Dahlman, 2020). How much credibility do you place in these projections? Why?
There is no question that the Earth’s food sources are threatened by changes in its weather patterns, but what specific challenges does climate change pose to the food security of people in the developing world?
There is currently a debate among some multinational lending agencies like the International Monetary Fund, UNICEF, and AID over the financial support for food security has been misused by recipient government officials. On the other hand, U.S. authorities insist that misuse of its assistance is not occurring because it has strict monitoring oversight in place. What is your position on this matter? Is there evidence that financial assistance to developing governments is being widely misused by government officials?

There is no debate, increases in labor productivity is a driver for economic growth for countries, particularly developing countries. There is also little debate that education and training is key to improving the productivity of labor as a resource.

You are asked to prepare a Position Paper looking at the relationship between labor productivity and economic growth in at least two (2) Caribbean and or Latin American countries and two (2) developed countries, at least one (1) of which is the United States. Your Position Paper should provide a comparative analysis across the mentioned countries.

Your Position Paper should address the following, inter alia:

You are asked to outline and discuss the key drivers of labor productivity, including investment in education and training. Are these drivers the same in the case of developing and developed countries?

Looking at The Bahamas, are the drivers impacting the labor productivity of relevance for the country?

Looking at the countries that you have identified as part of your comparative analysis, discuss the impact or likely impact of changes in labor productivity on economic growth. Your discussion here should be supported by the relevant research.

Taking at least two (2) Caribbean and or Latin American countries, discuss the impact of labor productivity changes on the following:

Labor Supply
Wage Levels
Foreign Direct Investment

What policy recommendations would you provide to ensure that countries maximize the benefits from its labor supply, with specific reference to the results you have found from your research on the link between labor productivity and economic growth?

Structure of a Position Paper

A Position Paper takes the form of an argumentative essay. Typically, you are required to present the Position Paper as a memorandum addressed to the Minister of Labor, outlining your argument in support of a given position. In the case of this assignment, your Position Paper is expected to address the questions outlined. It is a Position Paper and as such you are expected to provide a Position on the topic. To the extent that it takes the form of an argumentative essay, you are expected to cite opposing views in presenting your point.

You are also expected to cite various references in preparing your Paper.

Topic: Obama’s definition of the problem/his explanation of the occasion (Rev. Wright’s comments)

(1) Introduce passages from an exhibit (“A More Perfect Union”) and analyze them
(2) Summarize an argument source that comments on an exhibit
(3) Put two argument sources (David Axelrod & Glenn Loury) into the conversation by comparing their respective points of view and/or arguments

The task involves analyzing Obama’s “A More Perfect Union” speech (an exhibit source) and putting into
conversation two critics (or argument sources) that make arguments about this exhibit. In a cohesive paragraph (or two paragraphs, maximum) introduce and analyze two key passages from Obama’s “A More Perfect Union” speech in order to make a claim related to the topic. In the next paragraph, introduce an argument source and summarize
its key claim; use one of its passages to illustrate the critic’s point about the topic; finally, in the last paragraph, compare this source’s argument about the topic to a second argument source’s claim.

NOTES: Revise and build on the work of your reading responses. Introduce the authors of each source you use and the tiles of the texts. Your paragraph(s) explicating Obama’s words should develop a claim. The best work will
anticipate counterarguments. For the argument sources, limit the summary to a few sentences, and be sure to summarize the claim of the text. Identifying the perspective or background of the author of the argument source can
help readers see the source more clearly. Your summary of the argument source will make selective choices about the text, but it should offer a fair account of the writer’s claim without adding interpretation. Your readers will want
to see how the summary and the examples you chose relate to one another. How does the comparison to another
argument source build on the point made in your summary? Be sure to quote and/or paraphrase passages before
you explain their significance. The goal in the final paragraph is to bring two sources into conversation with one
other about a topic that is important in Obama’s speech. In this last paragraph, the best work will draw a conclusion about that comparison.

PROMPT: According to former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, full-body scanners and so-called enhanced patdowns are necessary to keep us safe from terrorists who would bring weapons or other contraband onto planes. Read the following story highlighting the flaws of the scanners. Do you think these procedures make us safer? If you think these procedures make us safer, why or why not?
