Global issues

  • Climate change

    Understanding the causes and potential consequences of global climate change on people and the environment are crucial in implementing strategies to reduce the threat of climate change in the future.

  • Natural regions

    As global population grows it puts pressure on the environment leading to water shortages and pollution, deforestation and famine. Responsible management strategies can reduce human resource abuse.

  • Environmental hazards

    Understanding why natural hazards occur can help countries to manage or prevent their consequences. Case studies illustrate the impact of natural hazards in the short and long term.

  • Trade and globalisation

    Global citizens rely on a network of communications between countries. Declining and emerging economies can have a positive and negative impact. Fair trade can protect employees and the environment.

  • Global tourism

    Tourism develops due to natural and man-made factors. It is a global issue with positive and negative effects. Responsible management can minimise the impact of tourism in the 21st century.

  • Health

    Case studies illustrate the causes of health issues. They explain their growth, effects on the population and the strategies involved in managing development and health in the 21st century.
