to save our planet.
2. The review and updating of the Status of the CMNUCC is an urgent matter. The U.S.A. and Canada should
not continue having their say, without belonging to it, they should become a part of it, or should stop
participating in the negotiations. China should not continue throwing stones without assuming the

It will be exposed to the rising sea level and other extreme climate events (severe and frequent drought, sandstorms, violent winds...).
2-1-2
It is important to expand knowledge and raise awareness regarding climate change and reinforce the capacityof actors to evaluate the vulnerability of different sectors.
Analysis of socio-economical aspects constitutes one of the essential components of the evaluation ofvulnerability and adaptation to climate change. We need to develop an active strategy based on goodmonitoring and prevention systems that can significantly decrease the loss caused by all the climate disasters.
Adaptation methods applied elsewhere that are easy to implement should be adopted to invite the populationto action and encourage active measures.
These measures should be selected according to their credibility for their target clientele: decision makers, civilsociety, farmers, etc. For public education (workshops, meetings), a participative approach is strongly
recommended. In this approach, groups of citizens and scientists join together to study local problems one byone, predicting what may arise with the problem in the future and formulating possible adaptation strategies.
The implementation of strategies aiming to minimize the harmful effects of climate change requires thedevelopment and improvement of the capacity for the evaluation of national vulnerability. Such an evaluation
can only be undertaken in an objective manner without:・Continuous observation of the climate via adense observation network.
・Monitoring and study of climate change
progression.
・Use of a digital model of the regional climate
to realize climate change scenario projection at high resolution.
・
Scientific study of the impact of climate change on socio-economical sectors using the impact model whose
input is provided by climate models."
2-2[6]Impact of climate change on forest fires in Maghreb, and more particularly in Algeria: increase of vulnerability
to fire, number of fires, recurrence of fires and major fires.
The rise in the temperature already seems to be partly responsible for the greater intensity of fires and for thegrowing breadth of burnt areas in the Mediterranean region. It is the extreme episodes of drought that cause
the most dramatic fires. Hotter and drier climate conditions create fires of a more marked frequency andviolence in Mediterranean forests under increased water stress, especially as that goes hand in hand with theincrease in the production of wood.

Starting from educational measures and raising awareness of the functioning of our environment, the entire
population of the planet should adopt responsible behavior for consumption in general. Harmful effects on theenvironment are caused by human activities.
Among many positive initiatives, we can count on the promotion and adoption of a green economy; aparticipative natural resource management approach for viable ecological development. It is only after wehave listed all the sources of pollution, degradation, destruction of ecosystems, and especially things leading toclimate change that we will be the able to correct the destructive tendency of our environment. Humans are at
the origin of numerous phenomena that are considered to be the cause of global warming and the loss of
biodiversity; and thus it is only by having confidence in human genius that this curve can be corrected, like therecovery of an economy in crisis.

Some environmental problems have their source in poverty, though this is not inevitable. It is therefore time
for the Protected Areas to receive sustainable financing and be managed in a participative manner so thatthey form the start point of this correction of the planet's health.
Today, the Protected Areas remain the only places where humans can still dare to hope for the start of thecolonization of our planet, which was once called "green," but which for some time has been the victim ofmandatory human activity. They are worth being monitored with a great deal of interest and attention. Hencemy suggestion to all the countries on the planet to impose a tax on the most polluting industries in order tocreate a kind of "support fund" for the preservation of the protected ecosystems.

at least three decades, the major problem has been the rapid destruction of the ecosystems where these species
lived, hence the importance of rational use that does not destroy them anymore, because some ecosystems are
in real danger of disappearance, or finally implementing the concept of sustainable use that everyone talks
about. However, when a renewable natural resource is used under this concept, cries of protest rise fromalmost everywhere around the world, because many NGOs around the world that are supposedly rich basetheir income on appealing to the emotions of those who do not fully understand that the sustainable use of any
renewable resource is similar to that of the economy we all know: first of all decide on the "capital" of avaluable resource to use just its "interest." Additionally, sustainable use takes into account the fact that eachservice nature gives us should be returned to it.

enterprises, who threaten large areas of forests. I therefore consider that we should implement strategies toenable us to achieve the objective with these groups, and that discussions of this theme should not be limited
to a slogan, but to ensuring that these big enterprises ethically reduce their impact on the planet in a concretemanner.

The Cuban State and in particular the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment has prioritizedclimate change as one of the environmental problems that should be addressed in terms of taking measures for
mitigation and necessary adaptation, according to the predictions that have been made in our country and in
the Caribbean regions. At the present time, the National Program of Science and Technology is tackling thisproblem and planning measures to counteract the original consequences of climate change, such as theelevation of temperatures and the sea level, the increase of natural phenomena such as cyclones or storms,
changes of habitats and species, to mention just some of the most important issues.
2-1-2
To avoid the impact of climate change, it is necessary to increase citizens’ awareness in such a way that willallow responsible behavior that does not contribute to the worsening of the environmental situation, but above
all, we can act as part of the society to which we belong, pushing the political decision makers and other social
participants to take measures commensurate with the problems we are facing.
2-2
One of the biggest environmental problems is the increasing loss of biodiversity. In terms of this point, I wish
to make the observation that at an international level, the general criteria are the biodiversity of plants oranimals; forgetting types of mushrooms and microorganisms. For me, this constitutes a serious problem at thetime of confronting this matter, because if we do not know the problems regarding the specific conservation ofthese groups of organisms, we cannot implement strategies and plans for effective actions for theirconservation and sustainable use.

Extreme events (floods, droughts, heat waves, etc.) will increase and be stronger in intensity with harmful
consequences for agricultural yields, livestock farming, biological diversity, water resources, food, etc. In short,human living conditions will deteriorate and poverty will be amplified, particularly in the most vulnerable
regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa.
2-1-2
Measures for adaptation to climate change should be taken, and financing should accompany them. In thisregard, rich countries that are responsible for global warming should accept that they must accompany poorand very vulnerable countries in this process, offering them financing and the necessary technology with therequired technical support. At the same time, from now on, all countries should opt for development that
abstains from the use of carbon and is resistant to climate change through the promotion of renewable energy
and energy efficiency in developing countries, especially in Africa where the potential is available.
2-2
Other than the abovementioned climate change problem, there are other environmental problems like themonopolization of land in Africa that reinforce the poverty and vulnerability of local communities. There is also
the lack of access to tap water and energy, poor management of natural resources and chemical products such
as Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP). We should encourage the development of policies that take into
account climate and energy constraints at the local, regional, national and international level, as well as aparticipative and inclusive approach to ensure the sustainable management of the environment.

Climate change has produced substantial changes in working habits, above all, in the agriculture andlivestock sectors of the Andean high zone. In addition to the loss of cultivation areas in some zones, there is astrong awareness of the loss of ecosystems in zones such as the Andean valleys and the heads of the basins.
Unfortunately, the response from the authorities and supporting organizations has been very slow, which
could result in the permanent loss of species and endemic ecosystems.

The determining factors of the environmental problems emerge from the socio-economic paradigm thatprevails in current society based on the excessive exploitation of natural resources, with only the argument of
economic growth (GDP), without considering the high social and environmental cost that causes more

*Popularization of agro-ecological approaches to the population using destructive practices against forest
resources and land in particular, degrading the environment.
*Agricultural material support for the poor and particularly women who are involved in agricultural
production for national food security; because it is they who ensure food self-sufficiency; in short, it isimportant to put into practice an agro-ecological approach to the exploitation of land, with agricultural inputs
and agricultural material with higher productivity in order to settle these actresses who practiceslash-and-burn agriculture.
*The REDD+ mechanism appears as a sustainable development strategy to the extent that it promotes thesepractices of the sustainable exploitation of forest and land resources.
*In rural areas, it is particularly important to promote and support rural women's ENTREPRENEURSHIP,
which ensures the sustainable management of environmental resources.
2-2**The development policy does not give priority to the management of these problems, in my humble opinion.
There are at least three ministries in charge of environmental questions concerning rural areas, not counting
the ministries in charge of water, mines and energy, transport, etc. And then there is no consistent policy in thefield, and sometimes they oppose each other. And in addition, certain aspects are abandoned because we do notknow who is in charge.
**Collaboration with the NGOs, which are in general closer to the principal categories of populations incontact with the environmental resources that produce income and cash for the national economy, is rather
insignificant, and the government exploits these resources without thinking about sustainability. The
government behaves like an annuitant, and there are rarely consequences at an acceptable level for the local
population who are then neglected, because the resources (land, forests, ores, etc.) constitute, according toregulations, the property of the State, which manages them as it pleases without taking into account the rightof use of the population on whose soil these resources are located. The State cedes them to dealers to thedetriment of these populations. And in the cases where they are given a right of pre-emption, these people do
not have sufficient financial resources to consent to the regulatory requirements, and as a result, they makefoolish contracts with the exploiters that are officially authorized.
**These situations result in the development of illegal exploitation, and we face poor governance maintainedby dishonest agents in the administrations concerned. Poverty becomes settled, and rural poor people arethose who suffer the most.
**The poor governance thus maintained contributes to the irrational exploitation of environmental resources
and contributes visibly and surely to the development of the factors that cause climate change.

Water is a major issue but wastage is more important. Awareness is fundamental but not enough. Everyone
has to play their role in mitigating the effects. Our lifestyles globally mean we are driving more cars,
consuming more meat and needing more resources such as electrivity. While technology will help, there will be
no hope of addressing the deterioration of the climate (and therefore our lifestyles, particularly in the poorer
less able to respond parts of the globe) unless we all do everything in our power to combat the effects. We needto slow population growth, reduce the negative impact we are making on the environment and take action toprotect what we have. This is expensive but as Lord Stern would say, ”Better pay now a small amount rather
than the potentially huge amount which will be required if we delay”. The choice is clear to be selfish and push
the problem off to the next generation or to take responsibility now. I fear there is no political will for the latterso we shall be dammed by our children and our children's children as the generation that did not do enougheven when we knew what was going to happen.

Discrete changes will not occur within the next 10 years; however, the thresholds locked in for impacts ofclimate change, especially in cryosphere regions (regions of ice and snow) and at the poles and high alpine
regions, will advance further during this period and carry implications for several hundred years. Of special
concern are processes on Antarctica and Greenland, which will lock in glacier melt that cannot be halted
unless temperatures fall significantly from present-day. New research from Antarctica in particular indicatesthis melting has occurred at today's levels of greenhouse gases in the past and melting continues until glaciersessentially have disappeared: an ”icehouse” effect of repeated melting and re-glaciation, encompassing 22m.

I can do better than ten years ago. I first observed deteriorating impacts to the environment as aseventeen-year-old in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador in 1975. I made a point then to keenly observe changes
in nature. I travel extensively around the world in my work. I see a lot of social impacts to the environmentthat can be considered a commonality but responses to those also vary. With climate change, however, I see
universal impacts affecting societies across-the-board, even in remote environments. As energy increases in
the climate system then society will have to reserve more of its economic capital to restore impacts fromincreasingly puncutated storm events and other climate-associated impacts. Ecosystem services will also be
negatively affected which, in turn, will impact human welfare.
2-1-2
1. Reduce the introduction of excess energy (i.e. carbon) into the climate system. 2. Impress upon developed
countries, to the point of concerted action, the critical importance of reducing consumption and thustransformation of natural resources so that ecosystems can continue to function and provide the services thathumans expect for free. 3. Pollution simply=the mismanagement of materials. Close the loop, more tightly
recycle materials back into processes so that they can be used more efficiently for other purposes.

In geological time, planet Earth will survive. What I am most concerned about is global civilization avoiding
deterioration because of disrepecting and collectively abusing the ecosystem services that have supported us

have begun to see this in my lifetime, I especially worry about this for my children and theirs.

There will be a catastrophe if climate change issues are not mainstreamed in all activities that are being
implemented. Todate seasons have changed, people have no food security and when it rains there are floods. It
is now imperative that we now do climate change mitigation activities to enable us turn back the clock andhave minimum environmental services
2-1-2
There is need to minimise on tree cutting, reduce land degradation, reduce emissions especially from the cars
we drive as we now in Africa drive old used cars, plant more trees, reduce on the use of firewood as our only
energy source and reward those people that implement climate friendly policies in Industry, agriculture andhomes.
2-2
In Africa and Uganda in particular, our biggest energy source is firewood with over 95% of the rural peopleusing firewood energy for cooking and even lighting. It is important that we address this issue and makeavailable alternative energy sources. Further more, our population lives on land and are heavily dependent
on agriculture. Very few practice family planning. There is an impending population explosion that needs
management now for sustainably managing the environment especially land use.

Nigeria currently is the second largest contributor of gas flaring in the world and the lack of implementation ofgas reduction policy is contributing to poverty and significant social ills of the society that is causing significant
increase in sabotage and vandalization of oil infrastructure in the country. Other impact includes unforseen
floods destroying property and crops as well lives worth billions of dollars. Erosion and land subsidence aswell as desert encroachment in West and North Africa further reduces production.

For example, The West African sub-region should conclude actions on the broader plan to halt desert

DAVID BLACK UK E1192

2-1-1
Southern England recently experienced severe flooding due to heavy rain falling for an extended period of time.
Flooding is likely to become a regular occurrence in coastal and low-lying areas. Rising sea levels exacerbate thisproblem, especially for island populations, including the British Isles. 10 years from now the local populations,in affected areas of the UK, will probably have been permanently evacuated.
The southern Iberian Peninsula
has long been a zone of prolonged drought during the hot summer months. This situation is likely to worsen inview of the intensifying impact of climate change, with particular regard to any sustained increase intemperature. The frantic construction of dams has not solved the problem, because irrigation is only available tothose who can afford it, while reservoirs still need rainfall to remain viable. Portugal has lost thousands ofhectares of forest in the last 10 years due to fires. If this continues the impact on ecosystems and populations
will be disastrous. Southern Iberia is becoming semi-desert and is likely to be uninhabitable in the future, an
outcome that will probably be irreversible in 10 years time if present trends are not mitigated.
Climatechange at a global level has become increasingly evident due to the severe impacts of various phenomena, that isextremes of temperature, torrential rains and flooding, hurricane, cyclones, tornadoes, even earthquakes andtsunamis. Individuals are dependent on scientists, politicians, government administrators and corporate board
members for any resolution of this problem. We can only prepare ourselves for what is to come. If these official
bodies could learn to co-operate and focus on the present environmental crisis, it may be possible to retard andperhaps gradually reverse the onset of climate change and its impact. The world 10 years from now, without thisconcerted action, is a frightening prospect.
2-1-2
We can only prepare ourselves for what is to come. Concerted action on the part of the public, NGOs and the likehas a limited effect and is usually restricted to definite aspects. Campaigns focus on species, ecosystems,
population areas, etc. A general campaign to resolve the whole issue of climate change and its impact is hard to
imagine, because such action is usually reactive. The best we can do is to exert maximum pressure on thosebodies that could, given the will and motivation to co-operate, act to halt and perhaps reverse the onset of climatechange and its devastating impact.
2-2
The disruptive impact of climate change we are experiencing at present, is a basic indicator that human activity
is set on a default pattern - ”progress” follows the apparent line of least resistance. In relation to the naturalenvironment and quality of life, this means an emphasis on short-term gain instead of rational planning for the
future. The development process is geared to exploit rather than enhance the environment; to the abuse rather
than sustainable use of land and other resources; and to a continuing loss of species diversity. To change thisdefault pattern requires a corresponding alteration in how we view our world, not piecemeal gestures andenvironmental conferences at every level, ad nauseam. My personal experience of environmental protection andcampaigning is that a great deal more could be done, if the energy and resources wasted in endless discussion, or
bureaucratic evasion, were employed in constructive activity.
I tend to associate the decline in environmental
awareness that began in the mid-Nineties, post Earth Summit, with being overwhelmed by information
technology in all its weird and wonderful ramifications. Fascination with virtual reality becomes a means ofescape, a way of not confronting the numerous problems that have to be resolved in the real world. Social
networks have value if they stimulate necessary action, they are insidious if their adherents are preoccupied with[44]

the transmission of trivia. The moral is: The less time spent staring at screens, the more time made available
for saving the planet.

unsustainable agricultural practices, and pollution.
Climate change promises continuing effects like those weare beginning to see, especially the frequency of extreme weather events. Efforts to improve the lives of people inpoverty in the most vulnerable regions (least developed nations) will be overwhelmed by emergencies. Disaster

UK E1212

In UK - more extreme weather (flood, drought, storms) and resultant impacts on human and natural systems.
One intersting dimension of climate change is the social impact it may have - at the moment the UK is involved inanti-immigration debates - very few people have made the link that immigration is likely to increase if people
elsewhere in the world are forced to leave their homes/countries due to climate pressures (e.g droughts). The
public will continue moaning about the climate, but still in denial that it is anything to do with their (collective)
behaviour. It will be really interesting to see whether the UK government and public have to stomach to change
their climate-change causing behaviour away from high consumption lifestyles and fossil-fuel based economy,
towards a more greener way of living and doing business.
For the world, climate change is a huge issue that
effects everything - food supply, energy policy, population distribution, water etc. I want their to be moreawareness from all nations/public that it is something everyone is contributing towards and suffering from. In
UK it is seen as something that will predominatanyly affect poorer nations, whilst in some developing countries(e.g. Bolivia where I lived) there is the sense that climate change is something caused by rich Westerners, noteverybody, meaning environmentally destructive (and climate affecting) practices continue ignorantly (e.g.
deforestation).
2-1-2Reduce greenhouse gas emissions all over the world - moving away from development/energy strategies thatperpetuate fossil fuel use; end deforestation & promote the restoration of habitats that promote carbon
sequestration (e.g. forests, peatland) ; invest in low carbon technology; promote sustainable development
pathways; reform capitalism; measure success differently (ignore GDP alone and focus on other sustainable
development measures/goals).
2-2
All over the world, as populations get more urban and spend more time on computers/phones, people are losing
their connection to and understanding of the natural world. As people don't understand nature, they forget whatnature does for humanity and that means they are less likely to care for it. This concerns me greatly, as
environmental problems are only likely to get worse if people have lost their connection to nature. We need tore-ignite peoples' understanding of nature and its benefits and beauty. That way society will make better
decisions about environmental issues, and hopefully take steps to preserve the biosphere. Making people realise
what nature does for human systems (water, energy, food, medicine, materials, flood prevention, climate
regulation etc) is a good place to start, as it making people realise that money is not everything. There is adanger that nature will become a novelty that is only found in protected areas in future - rather than somethingthat is all around us.

This applies in the firstplace to the traditionally most affluent regions of the world, but increasingly also to the various regions andcountries in transition where, as soon as people become more affluent, similar lifestyles are being adopted thatshould never have evolved in the richer parts of the world. A fundamental reconsideration of values is required
to bring these changes in lifestyle about. Economic growth, as measured by Gross National Product, is currently
still seen by most politicians as the primary determinant of human and societal well-being. It isn't and it can't be
for the simple reason that an over-populated planet of limited dimensions and with limited resources is unable tosustain unbridled growth.

We would not face such a serious problems relating the climate change within next 10 years, such as atmospherictemperature increase, number and intensity of drought, huriicanes, flooding etc. Of course, we would be
suffured by more climate change related extreme events. However, we would be able to cope with it. It is thefundamental characteristics of climate change, such as it happens relatively slowly (on time scale of decades), andimplicitly. However, this is the fundamental problems to many environmental issues, and we eventually reach thestage where we can not come back to present stage, or we need to spend more money, efforts and time to mitigate
the negative impact. This could happen by end of this century, order of hundred years. The number of death toll
related with extreme events associated with climate change are from dozens to thousands. This number is still
relatively small compared with that due to big earth quakes, which would kill from hundreds to ten thousands.
Fatal traffic accidents is another example, which kills thousands of people in a single developed country in every
year.
2-1-2
It is clear that we need to take action to mitigate impact of climate change on long time scale. We will see clear
difference by the end of this century (IPCC reports). I think we need to reduce atmospheric CO2 by 2020, in
order to meet IPCC 5th report RCP 2.6 scenario or RCP 4.5 scenario. To reduce atmospheric CO2 significantly
would reduce the risks associated with climate change significantly, but not completely. We have dozens (orhundreds) of problems to be sorted out. However, I still believe we need to tackle CO2 reduction problem seriously.
After IPCC 4th report in 2008, we now have major consensus that increased atmospheric CO2 concentration
leads higher atmospheric temperature. 2 degree threshold is also well recognised. At the same time, we also
know that there is little progress to regulate CO2 emission. There is not so much movement to promote this at the
moment. However, if we would fail to tackle CO2 problem, we would not be able to sort out any climate change
related problem. CO2 problem should become a prototype solution, and flagship of climate change related
problems.
2-2
Climate change related issue never becomes primary political problems. Economics, employments, social services
such as medical system, pension system, diplomatic issues are much more well related to our daily lives, therefore
discussed. I think one of the most difficult problems to tackle climate change is that people can not feel it urgent
problem since it happens relatively slowly (on time scale of decades), and implicitly. This is the fact. I think wehave enough technology, wisdom and ability if we were determined to cope with climate change. However, how
we maintain momentum to cope with climate change for coming decades? This is the problem.

for homes and businesses. If these options exist, consumers will buy them, regardless of whether they
appreciate that climate change is a problem.

Mitigation and adaptation measures are required to at least minimize the process of climate change at the local
level. We need to use less fossil fuels for cooking and plant more trees including those that stop erosions on slopes.
Today, I at Wildlife Conservation Nepal have initiated to work on reducing the impact of climate change by using
local knowledge and adapting to the effects of climate change. We are in the process of planting more than
900,000 saplings that would benefit the communities, introduce smart stoves that use less fuelwood but generate
more energy. Advocate to communities on how to adapt to climate change by using local technologies andintroducing new concepts and tools to be more effective in the daily lives of farmers and common people.

Poland, etc to limit the extent of their co2 releases to the atmosphere. If not advanced, the planet will suffermuch greater warming consequences.

Having attended the UN Conference in Stockholm in 1972, I came to realize that human population growth is theone factor that will eventually stretch the planet to its limitations for human existance. Mankind must migrate tosome form of steady state existance where population and efficient production and use of resources are in balance
if a sustainable future is to result. This is the challenge of this century. In the end, 'water will seek its own
level' and 'whatever will be will be'. Human's have the intelligence but maybe not the will to do what is required
to get there. Remember the 3rd law of Ecology is that 'Nature bats last'. I am hopeful however, that voluntaryand imposed changes in behavior will result in the long term survival of the human race on this planet. Time will

The impact of higher levels of CO2 gases in the atmosphere are well understood. But what is not well understoodoutside of the scientific community is the impact of this on society and an inability of societies to fully understandwhat is coming. I foresee rising sea levels that will impact most all major coastal cities and low lying areas andacidification of the oceans that will impact fish stock--as well as coral reef habitats. The impact of a warming
climate will be grave and lead to warfare and fights over dwindling resources, extinction of species and macrochanges to landscapes.
2-1-2
One tool available to governments and scientists to help citizens fully grapple with the impact of a warming
climate is the use of predictive analytics and modeling that can show what a 'future world' would look like. For
example, if one is able to go to a next generation Google Earth and click on the 'go back in time' bar and look at
earth imagery collected in previous years and decades, one should also be able to click on a 'go to the future' bar
and scroll over a specific area of the planet and see what scientists believe and predict the land would look like inthe future. These predictions would be based on real science data and predictive modeling. Changing behavior of
citizens and lawmakers will only happen when people are able to fully comprehend and see what the planet will
look like in the future and that is knowable and describable using commercial satellite imagery as a back drop.

In the Netherlands, we will see increasing levels of extreme weather and wide scale flooding. The flood ofenvironmental and economic refugees and migrants will increase, but national sentiment will harden against
them. Food imports will become harder to obtain, and prices will soar. Climate related strife elsewhere on theplanet will draw funds and persons ever further into international peace keeping and armed conflict.
For
Western Europe and the EU in general, the same situation described above applies, but amplified. Add to theincreased flooding, an ever escalating series of crippling droughts, forest fires, and severe winter cold. Civil unrest[61]will build and spread as deprivation (even if only perceived) divides populations, generations, and sectors.
Globally, the same factors as for Europe in general apply, but massively increased, with many regions suffering in
the extreme, some becoming uninhabitable, while competition for climate-impacted natural resources becomesacute, leading to waves of migration, border conflicts, ideological conflicts, land-grabs, outright war, fascist
responses, and chaos.
Bad enough? With the knee-jerk response of political and government systems
lurching towards fascism and fundamentalism when situations become untenable, vested financial interests will
seize the opportunities to consolidate their holdings and resource flows, causing widespread social disruption,
leading to system breakdown across all sectors.
Research, education,resource flows, communication,
response mechanisms...the skin and bones of the global system will be broken down, severely compromising theability to further address the global climate crisis. Grave situations such as seen in the Fukushima radiation
release will occur more and more frequently but will not be able to be monitored, much less repaired.
(What is that sound we hear? Ah, it is the final flushing of the cosmic toilet, as humanity as we know it, and muchof the planetary systems go down the drain).

We need to recognize, and address the fundamental flaws in all levels of governance, starting with the individual
and his/her feeling that s/he is not able to impact the system, or that the issues are not his/her personal concern.
Again, politics as practiced across the globe and across the centuries is a fundamental, and massively under-rated
factor in the disconnections which perpetuate and accelerate ecological and other crises.
We need to holdresponsible those decision makers and actors (government,corporate, military, individual, whoever) contributing
to the breakdown and destruction of ecological services and human well-being. We can look to some of the
progressive policy being developed in Bolivia, as well as much of the older traditional governance and moral codes
within Indigenous societies for inspiration and frameworks to help in this. If we do not address the entire systemof human values and decision making at this most fundamental level, at the fulcrum point, we will fail to address
any of the life-threatening issues now facing us all.
The governing structures are rotten to the core, ladenwith corruption and perverse incentives, and ever-strengthening in their resistance to change while entrenching
and consolidating dysfunctionality.
So, from an ”all of us” perspective, we ALL need to switch ourmanagement paradigm from ”them” to ”us”. We cannot afford to ignore our own responsibility in monitoring andmanagement of our affairs, nor can we afford to delegate those responsibilities to politicians, who inevitably havea conflicted set of personal priorities which result from the structure of an ingrown political system.
At anabsolute minimum, we need to replace this concept of random or plutocratically determined political ”leadership”
with a proper employment process where job descriptions, CVs, hiring, accountability, positive incentivisation,
ongoing training, review and removal as necessary ...the same as any proper management position
requires...directly run by public referenda and online (or mobile phone) voting.
End campaigning, end
campaign financing and influence, set aside a minimum public fund for running the information system whereby
all citizens can view essential profiles and contribute to the hiring, monitoring, evaluation and firing process.
Nothing less will work. These are the most important jobs on the planet, and it is absurd they are filled and run
like a bingo game.
2-2
I have chosen to comment primarily on our decision making, leadership and management processes, because I
believe they sit at the rotten heart of our inability to cope with the complexity of issues threatening our global
survival.
The science is there, the research continues, innovations are happening, general public sentiment is
supportive, evidence for the desperate need for change, and fast, is abundant and widely agreed. We can probably
rally our global resources to stem the tide of erosion and destruction of life support systems. But we clearly lackpolitical will. The problem then is in the political paradigm itself.

coast and High Andes. Also%2C it will be an increasing of floods in the Amazon basin.
So, regular climatic
seasonality will be changed. And with these changes, productivity of food will be affected. We should rememberthat most part of food production in Peru depend on seasonal rains. Also, more than 60% of electricity productionin Peru depend on rains, which recharge lakes and pounds of high andes. So, with climatic changes will be affectnegatively our energy production.

Irrespective of changes enacted globally people will be suffering from increased climatic events and have to alongwith governments make adaptations now. This is growing significantly in the Philippines with greater nationalawareness since Typhoon Haiyan but strategic action nationally, and in countries like Myanmar, Cambodia,
Vietnam are inadequate, not to mention the droughts. Global agreement of significance could well be reachedin 10 years if there are economic corrections by all countries and greater inclusion of the poor. The impact
however on biodiversity will be severe, what is lost is lost even if unknown, and will be even worse if we do notaddress food security
2-1-2
Changes of the next 10 years will not be prevented, they are on course disaster risk reduction and building backbetter are critical basic needs and socioeconomic inclusion of the poor are critical and a deeper understand byothers of simplicity of living, the quality of live and greater integrity in globalization. we need a new economic
model. the scientific research is vital yet what seems even more critical is the communication of values where
the social tipping point is reached and people say in mass ”its enough, we must change” China and India
require special consideration and incorporation, it is not easy but this is not a blame game but care for the humanrace and all life - when we can politically and economically value life and all peoples we will have made thedifference and global and national policies and actions will flow. Today the problem is we cannot find the tipping
point for social action that will motivate politics and economics, we need to examine our own consumption anddesires. This is a deeply human and selfless call to act.
2-2
Its relative what category is placed highest all are so related. At least where we are the intensity of events has
shaken people in their need to act not just be aware. I could identify lifestyles as number 1, but this would not be
to blame one or the other, most of us would like a better lifestyle where ever we are on the ladder, but we have to
make something else out of the ladder, maybe a bridge, and understand a little deeper the quality of living, self
and neighbor and all life.

The development of plankton communities depends on the scale of changes related to climate forcing having
impacts on the fisheries.

2-1-2
The climate phenomena have impact on the functioning of ecosystems, especially the pelagic ecosystem, it would
be interesting to develop an appropriate research in the Mediterranean area, for our part, on the occidental basin
where the mesoscale phenomena have impact on the composition, the distribution, the abundance, the biomass
and the structure of plankton communities and consequently on the fish stocks.
2-2
Example of Algerian basin: three highlighted ecosystems, the coastal one from the MAW, the other one which istypically Mediterranean, separated by a very active strip (Almeria-Oran Front at west) and Algerian front in thecentral region off the coast of Alger, and a coastal area characterized by a very narrow continental plateau often
damaged and sometimes nonexistent. In this coastal area flow rivers (wadis) which drain important agriculturalareas bringing considerable quantities of terrigenous material, various pollutants from agricultural activity. In
this context, the ecosystems are subject to extremely various deteriorations to which is added climate forcing
which strongly disrupts the balance of these ecosystems; as a result, we repeatedly observe algal blooms of toxic
microalgae, proliferations of gelatinous planktons in large proportion, of jellyfish at periods which are usually
inappropriate for these developments.

Ireland:Increased severity of coastal erosion and coastal flooding
Increased frequency of river flooding
Increased negative impacts on agricultural ecosystems and biodiversity
Over dependence on imported energy
2-1-2
Coastal and inland flood defences directed primarily at urban areas. Managed retreat in more remote coastal
areas.
Encourage diversity in agriculture so that it can adapt to changes in climate and increase foodself-sufficiency on national and regional scales
Encourage more frugal use of energy and increase non-fossil
fuel energy production
Prevent further deforestation globally and greatly increase afforestation with suitablespecies globally
Divert a large part of the huge resources currently devoted to defence towards aid to lessdeveloped countries, coordination of programmes for sustainable agriculture and forestry and conservation ofocean resources
2-2
Even without the adverse impacts of climatic change, we face huge problems providing food, water and adequate
living standards to a growing global population. In addition, the measures taken by governments to counteract
the negative effects of climatic change could, if we are not vigilant, have serious negative effects on societies.
Governments could use climatic change as an opportunity to impose greatly increased taxes and levies, andimpose restrictions on individual liberty. This last point is vital and sometimes not given enough importance by
those working in the environmental sphere, who can be quite single-minded!
We must be prepared toquestion the effectiveness of certain official measures to counteract climatic changes. Governments can often be
inefficient and wasteful and the sheer scale of the problems and the resources needed to address them could
divert our attention from programmes and projects that are achievable. Thus, the costs would have to be carefully
assessed against the proposed or expected benefits by means, inter alia, of extensive public debate. It may turnout that some problems are just too daunting to address effectively. In these situations, countries will have to dotheir best to find solutions to problems that are more likely to be achievable.
Populations will prove difficult tosteer in the direction of environmental sustainability without coercion. If the only way to implement effective
measures is seen to be by increased governmental control, possibly tending towards totalitarianism, one would
then have to ask if this is a society in which we would want to live. In practice, there will have to be a balance
between implementing measures effectively on the one hand and respect for human liberty and dignity on theother hand. It seems an obvious point but, for example, a one-world government, favoured by some as the best
way forward, would represent a dangerous concentration of power in few hands.

Sadly, the U.S. will be less affected in the near future than other parts of the world, which will likely only slow our
willingness to respond to address the global crisis. 10 years from now I expect to see much greater heat waves,water shortages / drought, and flooding from natural disasters and sea level rise. I also hope to see a much greater
reliance on renewable energy and hopefully some cultural shift on acceptance of the need to act quickly andprofoundly on climate change.
At a global level, I fear that much more profound threats to livelihoods will
occur regularly, particularly in the equatorial regions of Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Water and foodshortages and political and social unrest seem likely at this point, as well as increased threats from natural
disasters.

Shift to renewable energy: remove subsidies for fossil fuels, provide subsidies instead for renewable energy in allits forms, as well as cleaner transportation for individuals and for company supply chains.
Implement a
carbon tax on emissions from fossil fuel generation stations.
Accelerate preparedness / resilience plans,particularly for heavily populated coastal regions.
Embrace desalination and water recycling at every level.
These all apply to the global situation as well as for the U.S. I also hope that we can commit to using some of the
carbon tax revenues and the ending of fossil-fuel subsidies to provide technical and logistical support to help themost affected global populations prepare for climate change, as well as material support to meet their food, water,and health needs.

The most significant climatic change has been the long-term reduction in rainfall in the semi-arid regions. The
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) points out that variability and extremes, not simply averagechanges in climatic conditions, are key features that affect human vulnerability and adaptation to climate change.
Droughts are common and because the ecosystems have been severely degraded, the resulting food and water
shortages result in heavy losses every year. Generally it is projected that climate change will lead to a decreasein water availability and quality in arid lands in the next 40 years by 10-30%, while extreme weather events suchas droughts and floods will increase in number and/or intensity. This is likely to have severe impacts on foodsecurity, natural resources such as endangered species and water especially in the subsistence agro-pastoral

between Climate Change and development activities in most of the areas in Pakistan is widely evident so wewould have to deliberate on different practicable strategies suitable to address this issue by linking conservationand development interventions with local management, knowledge, evidence-based expertise on sustainable
natural resource management, and socio-economic and institutional factors, such as governance and rights.
International organisations, professional, academia should try to provide recommendations about theinterventions, procedures and institutional arrangements required for climate change considerations, including
adaptation measures so that they are further enhanced and accounted for especially in natural resource polices
and management. we should deliberate on the followings: 1.Identify the obvious information and knowledge
gaps in relation to climate change; 2. Identify the impacts and risks of climate change to the natural resources
i.e. food security, species extinction, fire, weed spread, increased drought or flooding; 3. Identify the
degree/extent that these impacts and risks may have on the ecosystem in the short, medium and long term andhighlight the potential ecological impacts of these factors on natural resources i.e. species extinction

We have witnessed great advance in our understanding of the science of the climate change over the past few
decades, but it is only recently that we have seen a shift towards more accessible and accurate public
communication of this complex and sometime overwhelming issue so to my understanding this should befurthered in order to create a strong constituency for CC.

I foresee massive biodiversity loss impacting the health of humans and ecosystems at large. I foresee increased
and aggravated vulnerability of both urban and rural populations to the impacts of climate change, particularly
increased and more frequent, high-intensity weather patterns--contributing to increase of floods, landslides,
drought, and general vulnerability to high-scale, high-impact storms. In rural and urban areas this can have
implications of severe food insecurity, impacts on public health and safety. Urban areas are particularly
vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, with unmitigated and constant rapid development/construction(without environmental impacts or guided urban planning to mitigate and adapt to CC) and high population
density within areas that can be flooded or otherwise be impacted by high level storms. With the predicted risingheat indexes for this region (see i-s-e-t's recent study on heat index rise and implications in Thailand and theregion), without taking measures to adapt, there will be a severe increase in loss of life and an increase insuffering. Water safety, security and access will increasingly become a challenge in urban areas in particular,
but across the region.
2-1-2
Actions need to be taken at all levels, from the most personal choices and behaviors, through community, local
government, national government, and regional and global policy levels. Efforts should be increased andadapted/replicated, such as are supported by INEB with the ICE Network (Inter-Religious Climate and Ecology
Network), to strengthen, leverage and connect community (local-to-local) actions and experiential knowledge on
climate change mitigation and adaptation (ranging, for example, from establishing organic farms and local foodeconomies from producer to consumer; education on climate change and community planning for DRR,
adaptation and mitigating measures, protecting biodiversity and the overall health and wellness of communities).
Relationships between community/local actors, climate scientists, policy makers and funding institutions need tobe creatively approached and strengthened, in order to support learning exchange and discourse which canincreased all actors' knowledge and applied capacities. Education on climate change, in general, needs to be
directly linked to viable actions everyone can take, as well as policies that can support the safety and well-being of
All Beings. In urban areas, there is much that can be done at the neighborhood/community level, but there also
needs to be urban policy and planning which restricts unmitigated construction, enforces environmental impact
protections, and integrates appropriate adaptation and mitigation measures (green spaces that allow for groundwater absorption, no-build buffer zones around rivers and waterways, adaptive roofing and structural methods
integrated into all buildings and building codes, etc.). Technical and economic support for smallholder farms
transitioning to organic farming methods is vital, as well as the intentional relationship building between
smallholder organic producers, socio-eco-enterprises and Green (organic, sustainable) consumers. Building up
and supporting local-to-local networks such as this reduces vulnerability and supports community resiliences tonavigate and cope with the impacts of climate change.
2-2
It should be noted that urban Community-Based Adaptation and Mitigation/biodiversity conservation is viable
and often overlooked. If the linkages between rural and urban producers as well as consumers within organic,sustainable food systems could be strengthened, with support to urban farms and community gardens, as well as
small scale, local adaptation practices supported, the resilience quotient of urban dwellers could be increased
quite a bit. Access, education and resource support are needed to strengthen CBA and local mitigation
capacities.

In 10 years there may be a small sea level increase, but much more seriously there will be changes in the weather
patterns of my region, tending towards more extreme weather events (floods, wind), and probably much colder

Globally, food production will likely become very difficult in some of the mostimportant food producing areas of the world (due to sea level rise/ drying) and the populations dependent on thoseareas will move into new areas, which may be (i) other sovereign territories, which will engender wars and (ii)areas of high conservation value, which will engender a net loss of biodiversity and ecological function of theplanet2-1-2

I don't expect anything noticeably dramatic to happen within 10 years - actually that is part of the problem,
because a longer timescale of impact allows people to ignore the issue. General warming will increase, extreme
events will be more common and more extreme, but many people will say that they represent natural variability.
We will see more droughts, floods and heatwaves. Rainfall will decline in southern Australia and possibly
increase in the north. Many species will be moved closer to extinction, but pests and diseases will move.
Agriculture of many types will become marginal in places where it has been conducted. Water shortages will becommon. The frightening thing is that we can't predict when ecological tipping points will occur. I guess major
ones are unlikely within 10 years, but they are possible, and they will occur within decades.
2-1-2
We need a radical shift from a capitalist consumer society with fixation on simplistic measures of economic
growth, which is clearly impossible to sustain. Growing population and individual consumption per headnecessarily will outstrip the ability of the Earth to support human activities. We need to live much lessextravagantly and wastefully. We need education and social leadership to shift values away from income andconsumption as estimators of self-worth. We need policy-makers and electorates to be more ecologically literate,
so that we can make good choices. All socioeconomic decisions should be made in a framework of total
cost-benefit analysis: the environment is not an externality that can be destroyed and paid for by some yet-unborn
generation.
Specifically with respect to climate change, we need radical reductions in use of fossil fuels andhuge increases in renewable energy. Investment in renewable energy is stifled by vested interests andcorruption, and this must change.

The loss of biodiversity caused by humans should be a source of profound shame and digust. It is a moral andaesthetic outrage that dehumanizes us. It's root cause is greed, self-interest and the lack of any serious

power of large corporations make it inevitable that basic life-support systems will be over-exploited. It appears
that people will not react to this until there are tangible and profound shocks, such as destruction of major richcities proven to be linked to environmental change. That is certainly what happened in New Orleans in 2005

The main causes of the disasterous state of the world are greed and a global system of corrupt crony capitalismthat lacks any environmental ethic. This will only change if political, business and religious leaders take up theissue of humankind's responsibility to protect and restore the natural ecosystems upon which we all depend, andlive by example in thier own lives to demonstrate a better path.

American people, and probably most of the world's human population, seem to ignore the problem of climatechange. Is it because they see no options for change? Or because the future under climate change is too scary tothink about? Or they have been brainwashed by corporations and politicians whose interests rest with
continued use of fossil fuels? These may be key issues to deal with before much public support can be generated/･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････

There will be continued competition for the dwindling resources of space and water to provide all of the otherresources we need to continue our current patterns of living. All of this will degrade the environment further as
we now know it. This will not be beneficial for humans (other than a few financially)or many ecosystems. Overthe course of the next 10 years there will be one level or degradation and change...over the course of the next 50,
even more.
2-1-21) Reduce greenhouse gas emissions greater than 50% immediately. 2) Make sure that all decisions made today
include consideration of the implications of climate change so they can be made in a manner that is prepared forthe expected change. 3) Accept that a finite planet cannot support infinite economic or population growth. Act
accordingly. 4) Create regulation that includes paying for use/abuse of the planetary commons (including air
and water).

The global human community will see increasing abnormalities in their environments, everywhere. This will
eventually impact peoples' lifestyles, travel will become more expensive, i.e. unaffordable for the majority ofpeople, and more difficult because of diminishing fossil fuels and restrictions due to pollution. Loss of human lifes
and loss of economic capital will increase at accelerating rates in the wake of global environmental changes. The
human species will increasingly become divided into ”those who have” and ”those who don't have” of all and any
resource (monetary, health, food, water, air, etc.). Measures of the quality of life and lifestyle will shift from adichotomized ”preferred vs unpreferred” to categories of ”deadly vs survivable”. Resources will no longer be simply
resources, but will be divided into quality resources (air, water, soil, organic life) = clean and unpolluted vs justresources = polluted and contaminated air, water, organic life, and soil.

The problem that we face at the moment is that there is less investment geared towards solving environmental
problems globally. This is manifested in the Budget Allocation of every country in the world where there isminimal allocation for environmental problems. Another problem is the flow of investment on environmental

It is a problem with irreversible tipping points and a much longer time period than 10 years to be worried about.
Oceans are gradually acidifying, Sea level rises have been detected, destabilisation of climate is predicted and theintensity of storms is also predicted. In New Zealand we may see the spread of vector-borne diseases such as
Ross River Virus which is mosquito borne. We are already seeing droughts in places that used to be consistently
wet. We can expect the Western Antarctic Ice sheet to further destabilise.

We need to decarbonise the economy, to shift from burning coal and other fossil fuels. No new coal mines shouldbe allowed to open, we must shift transport modes from private to public, to active transport, and we must pricecarbon at $100 per tonne. We need to foster renewables and penalise fossil fuel use.
2-2
Climate destabilisation is apparently already irreversible to some extent but we can and must take action,
particularly collectively, to decarbonise the economy and consumption. Biodiversity losses are already bed, but itis the loss of functionality of ecosystems that is of great concern. So too is the impacts of over-harvesting andfishing, and the failure of governments to control and phase out bottom trawling and other such damaging fishingmethods.

The abnormal high and low temperatures, the unstable drought and torrential rain caused by climate change

Some houses or roads will be submerged, the coastline will recede and the amount of coastal
land will decrease.

In order to prevent severe climate change and the greenhouse effect, we should start with energy conservationand carbon reduction. For example, in your daily life, rather than driving, consider taking public transportationor carpooling to reduce emissions; turn off the lights when leaving a room; call for garbage sorting and recycling,etc. Develop habits in your daily life by doing those little things to help the earth.

Current climate change is an issue confronted by the global environment, and many measures have been taken toprevent the emission of greenhouse gas for a long time. Although their effect is limited, they can indirectly[128]

weaken the impact of the emitted greenhouse gas on the environment. If no measures are taken against climatechange, land utilization and water resource management, frequent environmental disasters due to climatechange will have an enormous impact on the management of water resources. In Taiwan, water resources are noteasy to conserve, so its land management and utilization will be impacted, and such poor land management willaffect resource management. Climate, land utilization and resource management are structural issues, so
structural or integrated plans are needed to resolve the issues of climate, land utilization and resource
management.
2-1-2
Orientation of climate change: Since climate change management is based on risk cognition and risk
management, we should estimate the risks and influence cost of climate change, figure out the capital, measuresand policies that are needed to prevent the disaster of climate change, and have clear and guiding orientations
and directions in the national land planning system.
Orientation of water resource management: Current water resource management mainly adheres to the user
pays principle, but the undertaking and management cost of water resources often cannot balance the costrequired for water resource management. The management of the water protection zone is disordered, andresource distribution is uneven. Thus, we need to be aware of the impact of climate change on water resources,
risks and cost estimation, and build a suitable management platform for water resource management to manage
water resources efficiently.
Orientation of land utilization: Land utilization is mostly managed by policy instruments, and if there is noeffective management of land utilization, the environment and resources application will be impacted to somedegree. And if water resources, forest resources, energies and other resources cannot be protected in land
utilization, Taiwan's environment, society and economy will be impacted. At present, we should focus on thenational land-level plan in Taiwan, and the height of national land plan guides the management and utilization ofland resources. In addition, detailed plan and impact evaluation should be available for the survey and utilizationof environmental resources, which is beneficial to the weaker impact of land utilization on environmental
resources.

For Taiwan, the current environmental issues are caused by the disaster of extreme global warming. Now, theenvironmental strategies of Taiwan's construction department are still restricted, so we expect that the
government will propose strategies to cope with climate change and greenhouse gas through a structural policy
system. Urban renewal is expected to improve the updating mode oriented towards financial redistribution
through the differentiation of new and old departments. In addition, the renewal of old buildings can survey thebalance and lengthening of the life cycle, and propose the criteria for renewing and preparing buildings. Disastermanagement and land management should pay attention to risk evaluation and risk aversion and prevention.

Politicians on all levels, local, regional, national and international, must exercise political leadership. That means
adopting and implementing all measures necessary, even unpopular ones, to stop the extinction of species andprevent increased global warning. This is what we have political leaders for. For far too many political leaders,even unpopular ones, however, short term concern for own reelection or reappointment seems to weigh more than[132]

long term concern for the survival of species, including mankind, and for tacking the climate crisis.

Coral reefs are reducing slowly their coverage at low level, with predominance of coral species more resistant toswells and to the sediments, but producing scarce growth and number of reef. In recent years, the incident rate of
diseases of coral has been very low, with rare exceptions. With temperature increase, the number of agricultural

Measures are being taken, but in an insufficient manner. There is a lack of full consciousness about the loss of
species and the environmental services of biodiversity.
In the near future, progress will be made in terms of the protection of some species and ecosystems, but thedeterioration of global biodiversity will continue.
2-1-2
Reinforcing knowledge of the diffusion of the importance of biodiversity and environmental services for thewelfare of society.
Investing money in the environment to prevent the loss or degradation of biodiversity in the productive andeconomic process.
Reinforcing the plan for justice to escape from impunity in cases that may affect biodiversity.
2-2
The loss of biodiversity is different from other major challenges confronted by humanity, to which technology has
contributed to overtake. It is irreversible, and the improvement of all the environmental services can barely beseen in the short term.
It is necessary to think about the models of “lifestyle” in modern society and their impact not only on a local level,
but also on a global level. It is not desirable or sustainable to have such levels of consumption of natural andenergy resources by many of the societies of developed countries, although their efficiency and local impacts havebeen improved.
It is important to reinforce the idea that biodiversity and human welfare are closely related, and that its
deterioration contributes to poverty.

In Uruguay, in particular, they have recently begun to take some measures such as the creation of protected areasfor preserving the biodiversity of the area. In contrast, however, the current government has also taken thedecision to establish economic business ventures that will have a major impact on this biodiversity, although it
claims that it is protecting the environment, such as cellulose plants, open air mining, deep water ports, etc. If theenvironmental policy continues this way, I anticipate a significant degradation in the biodiversity of my country
from now on over the next 10 years.

In the first place, governments should adopt coherent environmental policies with a focus on preserving thebiodiversity of our region and its natural resources, independently of the major investments that could reach thecountry. But we, the scientists, can begin by generating environmental consciousness and alert the civil society

Colombia is a mega-diverse country, as confirmed by multiple studies, but unfortunately there are few people who

our hands, and that it costs us nothing; having an awareness of protecting, conserving and saving our resources,

Focus on recognizing the magnitude of the problems, and then work out solutions with local stakeholder, private
sectors and government agencies (all jurisditions) to plan coordinated actions that embrace the complexities of
local economies and realities: piecemeal approaches have little if any impacts and coordinated action where
bottom-up processes match top-down global and national policies that otherwise haved no impact on local
realities where things happen. Enhancing, empowering and promoting indigenous people's rights andstewardship of their resources based on sustainable economic altertives is an urgent strategy. Development ofcapacities of local governments is also a huge priority as currently it si very poor and absense of technicalguidance and leadership to implement policies, guide stakeholders towards sustainability is reduced to amínimum as an inidcator of local political weight of the issue in the wider agenda. These local authorities haveno coordination with other govt agencies that promote activities that create huge land use changes (driving
biodiversity loss), or simply don't act to reverse loss and help create a better environment for conservation success(health, education, better controls, microcredits for sustainable activities, etc.).
2-2
Up to date, most of the focus of solutions and discussions has been kept in a technical sphere that has Little
meaning to politicians and decisión makers. If the two spheres don't make the appropriate connections, it isgoing to be very difficult to curb problems and their dynamics. Involvement of local stakeholders demanding
action and solutions is a way to créate political awareness combined with urben-miidle class concience that cangenerate more solid solutions. Societies where short term gains are the route of social and political success are[143]

doomed to loose any value that depends on long term processes and results. That is one of the biggest hurdles
and the situation is worsening.

In a survey conducted in 1996 in Uganda, it was found out that some large mammal species like Roan antelope,Black and white Rhino, Hunting Dog, Klipspringer have become locally extinct. What I foresee is that many more
species will become endangered and possibly disappear. This is because of mainly conservation governance thathas completely become monetised, hardly any professionalism both in recruitment and further training of
personnel.

They are taking measures at different scales, although these measures are totally insufficient to stop the global
loss of biodiversity.

At all the governments steps, a more effective and ambitious policies to mitigate or eliminate the causes of loss of
biodiversity should be applied. The civil society, including the enterprises, should be implicated in a larger degree
to attain the objective for conservation of the natural capital of the planet. All together citizens should become
more conscious of the importance of the biodiversity and of the environmental services of the ecosystems thefunctioning of the human societies depends on, and should be implicated, to a great extent, in demanding thegovernments to intensify their policies for conservation.

Biodiversity is fundamental to the world's environmental health, supporting human wellbeing for ecosystemservices and providing the fundamental natural resources that are required by society and future generations. If
current trends continue we may lose a significant proportion of the world's biodiversity, which cannot ever be
replaced and limit the options of future generations most severely. Biodiversity provides the building blocks formost ecosystems and its loss is fundamental to the causes of poverty and much environmental degradation. The
continuing growth in world population will require that biodiversity be maintained to support food security,
human health and well being as well as safe, clean and stable environments.

Effective conservation plans for apex consumers (big predators and so on, depending of each ecosystem) as it has
been highlighted recently by many scientist, like Michael Soul? and collaborators in many scientific papers. Apex
consumers are essential for keeping ecosystem work on. Little importance has given to this issue by societies andthe States have done only placebos. If the ecosystem are top-down organised, the conservation action should do
the same. The societies have to choose better representants confident with this issue and order more effectiveplans.

Biodiversity was the most relevant to me because extinction is forever, and conservation works and it is cheaper
than ecosystems without species. I can´t see anything worse. The main cause for this situation is by far the land
use and land cover change due to life style. The population could be a problem too, but it sounds me easier tochange life style than policies to human population control.

not all people aware of and concerned about the global environment making this personal choice immediately?

Loss of biodiversity is a slow process. However, in systems thinking perspective slow is always fast. After a delay
the process of extinction will go rapid and humans can seldom do anything to stop or reverse the process. In India
the situation in coming 10 years will go worse as the pressure of population on ecosystem will increase. Coupledwith climate change,failing crops and threat to food security there is little hope that communities could cope up
with the situation. This may lead to widespread disease outbreak, economic breakdown and social anarchy.
2-1-2
To prevent the possible catastrophe a systemic intervention is required. All developmental activities in
ecosenstive zones should be stopped immediately. Valuation of ecosystem services should be done and new system
based on this valuation should be implemented. Communities should given incentive for protecting theirecosystems and biodiversity within. People should be taxed for the ecosystem services they use. Environmentally
damaging projects should be phased out systematically and replaced with environmentally friendly ones. Overall
the growth of development should be slowed down or pushed to negative growth.
2-2
It seems we have walked too far on the road of development where it is very unlikely that we will reverse thedamage. The loss of biodiversity to development is a lethal trade off. This trade off for small gain would be
detrimental to the future of human race. Ultimately, resource depletion, climate change, social anarchy will leadto extinction of Anthropocene age. Unmanageable economic growth has lead to inequity among humans andpressures of this growth is taking entire world to a point of no return. It is very unlikely, that human species
would be able to reverse this process. As Jared Diamond rightly said the humand society is heading for collapse
where Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. Its ultimately us who will choose which side we want to go.

To me the environmental problems in the world today are all man made , and these problems did appear becauseof the ignorance of nature. Our all religious holy books did speak for the abiotic ecosystem and that is true now
that in spite of all the best possible livable development we still could not manufacture the precious componentsof life THE AIR, WATER AND THE SOIL much needed for our own survival, and biodiversity becomes the majorpart to it. Can we really think of curing disease, making humus and a pure air for our existence without primary
producers. If yes , then nothing more to write or explain and if No then one must understand the value of Natural
Capital and its biodiversity. World Governments must frame the rules to follow and also to get them

Proper Governance for solving environmental problems with a mind and heart to have solutions at the global
level is the need of the hour. Nothing more is to be done except to have the real ratifications of all treaties andprotocols signed by various governments at different levels. Say, Montreal Protocol, CBD, Kyoto protocol,
MA,CITES and to have an action for completion of MGD in appropriate or stipulated time might suggest solution
to the problems. What actually is needed is to have a global governance political will blende with administrative
will at all appropriate junctures as we all know that the rules are made for the people and the environment andnot vice versa.

Natural capital has its main share in having biodiversity that provides a variety of ecosystem services .
Humankind relies on these services may it be provisioning, regulating, culture or supporting and arecontributing to human beings in providing security, health, social relations and freedom of choice and action.
There is a need to make sure to have a value of ecosystem services as we all know that we all want to live in
PEACE and not in PIECES. Thus it will be appropriate to have environmental friendly technology that provides
planning and management using all relevant forms of knowledge and information about ecosystem services
including the knowledge of local and indigenous groups. A slight disturbance in nature's creation might bring amajor devastation. Population explosion is hampering the benefits of growth and development and its
management may help in reducing the loss of biodiversity and degradation of ecosystem services.

2-1-1
One of the scariest things about biodiversity loss is that the effects are too complex to foresee, especially as there
is not as prominent a report that accounts for biodiversity issues as there is, for example, on Climate Change with
the IPCC report.
However, given that many ecosystems only function due to a very delicate symbiosis or
ecological co-habitation, and are essentially interlinked globally, the precautionary principle applies here morethan anywhere. If there are thresholds that we already crossed or will cross very soon, then we might already see
catastrophic results in the next ten years, or we might create irreversible damages that lead to catastrophes in
the future. Combating climate change, food production, clean air and water provision for a global population are
all areas where we heavily rely on global and local ecosystems. Without them functioning properly, some or all ofthese issues could become unresolvable and heavily affect humanity on a global scale.
2-1-2
A whole variety of actions is needed, from lifestyle changes and changes in behavior of consumers and producers,
to direct prevention of habitat destruction (especially in oceans, but also elsewhere), and to active protection andnurturing of ecosystems across the globe - the actions that have to be taken are legion.
The key is though, to
put biodiversity on the top of the agenda, not brush it under the carpet as we do nowadays - even within theenvironmental movement to some extend, if one compares it to more prominent issues like climate change!
Asecond key element to lay the foundation for stopping biodiversity loss is: It has to be made into a profitable area,and biodiversity destruction has to be made unprofitable. Without proper market structures, the support of[161]

businesses can not be obtained and making progress will be very difficult. The creation of such a market structure
has to come from all of us though: Businesses, but even more so governments, consumers, citizens... a variety of
stakeholders is needed to make this happen.
2-2
One key issue for environmental problems is to break out of our current models of living and acting, in all aspectsof life: economically, politically, socially, and in private.
Despite civilization, industrialization and all the
progress in improving our habitats that we have made as a species, we still have not moved away from the most
simple behavior that can be observed as a tendency in all life forms, dominant in their current habitat: we grow innumbers and spread across habitats until something stops us. If it is nothing else, what stops us is ultimately thecollapse of our ecosystem and live support infrastructure.
As such, in behavior, we are not so much different
as a species from bacteria, despite the complexity of our intellect, civilization and despite our ability to actively
shape the world we live in. We have to stop and change this behavior. It is not only stupid and unworthy of us as
an intelligent species, it is suicidal. It is time for us to live up to our potential as a species, or to consciouslytransform or evolve into something better - maybe into humanity 2.0; or maybe just humanity, in the mostnormative sense of the word.

Kazakhstan’s ecosystems, however, continue to be under threat of habitat loss and degradation. As confirmed by
the 4th National Report to the CBD, the biodiversity index of ecosystems has dropped by 66% in the past decadeprimarily due to unsustainable farming practices (crop and rice production) and extensive resource use (grazing,wood and grass harvesting). Widespread monoculture practices are by far the leading cause of the gradualdegradation of habitats, flora and fauna, and desiccation of small wetlands in the mountain-valley deserts, suchas the Ile-Balkhash ecosystem. Inefficient irrigation due to wasteful use of irrigation water or leakages negatively
affected the soil structure, causing waterlogging, salinization, leaching of essential soil nutrients, and winderosion. Coupled with inefficient and unsophisticated farming methods and the use of chemical fertilizers, thishas led to degradation and alteration of original river ecosystems and desiccation of small wetlands in the

The loss of biodiversity that includes forests is going to add to the effects of climate change, i.e. extreme variations.
Biodiversity - from microorganisms to the forests, play a crucial role in climate control and adaptations. The there
would be less carbon sinks which means there will be increased warming and climatic variations.

Measures are being implemented but in a haphazard way without good scientific research on this vast subject
matter. Government agencies are collecting vast amounts of data without any idea about how to analyze them.
Implementation is therefore following intuition or gut feelings and not relying on scientifically proven facts. Fish
species of commercial importance are being bred in hatcheries and released to the Gulf. This is proven to beineffective but is perceived by many as effective and millions are spent to do this. The culture of science needs tobe developed to prove or disprove hypothesis. In 10 years many commercial fish, many coastal benthic habitats,many bird, mammal and reptile species are likely to decline. Some may become extinct. This is an existing trendthat has been going on for the last few decades in the region.
2-1-2
Biodiversity is regarded as a national priority. However, conserving biodiversity involves a complete science that
requires good long-term studies to better understand how biological systems work. This culture needs to be
developed. Research is not understood and is regarded as an unnecessary investment. In the absence of goodscientific data, the precautionary principle in science needs to be used taking into consideration the best available
scientific information to manage or protect species. The Government must invest in science and knowledge todevelop comprehensive understanding of existing ecosystems to be able to manage them sustainably. Some
progress have been made on protected areas development but human resources specializing in these areas arelacking and needs to be developed. Incentives (high salaries) need to be given to locals to encourage engagementin biodiversity conservation. Most students go to other areas like oil and gas because salaries are high. If salaries
in environmental sciences were made comparable or more, then there would be more interest and motivation tocome to this field.

Collapsing biodiversity, language and culture loss, commodification, toxification, and climate change are closely
linked. For humans, new infectious diseases or collapsing links in food supply chains are increasingly likely; theseare major events that can develop from relatively minor single changes in a weakened system and would have asignificant impact on human wellbeing. For the complex networks of life on earth it is likely that, as with North
American bats or amphibians worldwide, we may see the loss of key taxa as well as the loss of whole ecosystems(coral reefs, alpine areas, mangroves). We do not yet see the scale of the damage we have already done. The scale
and kind of challenge that we will face in a 50-year frame is unimaginable.
2-1-2
Honestly I do not think we can avoid catastrophic changes to the Earth’s ecosystems, and prioritising humanwell-being over the well-being of life on Earth will only delay our eventual suffering. However, if it were possible
to drastically change how humans live on Earth, then some useful changes might be:
Land management andplanning: Create biocultural diversity landscapes where minority languages and ecological knowledge areprotected, including continent scale connected conservation landscapes. Redistribute land to smallholders who
produce food locally. Eliminate suburbs and build high-density argo-urban landscapes with low-impact transport(horse-drawn trams, etc.). Require housing to be built for at least three generations.
Economics and education:
Eliminate free market capitalism. Require all schools to teach children at least three languages (including theirown parents or grandparents original language), agriculture, sharing and craft skills. Eliminate the teaching ofbusiness and entrepreneurship in schools; replace it with teaching in science, maths poetry, storytelling and art.
Make the normal working week three days, with unpaid service in ecosystem or community reconstruction
projects, health, or teaching; and make lifelong health care and education universally available.
Extraction,energy and transport: Immediately make the use of carbon-based-fuel private transport and energy generationillegal. Rapidly scale back extraction of non-renewable fuels to zero, accepting as necessary misery the consequentloss of plastics, energy and transport. Reserve remaining capacity in hydrocarbons for the manufacture of smart
renewable energy. Create viable, low-impact slower transport for long-distance travel and shipping(lighter-than-air, wind-driven ships, solar rail).

Invasive alien species are a fundamental threat to sustainable development and climate change adaptation, andundermine our efforts to protect and maintain our ocean and coral reefs, enhance food security and ecosystem
resilience, defend protected areas, enable trade, and protect biodiversity and livelihoods. The cost of damage
caused by invasive alien species is estimated at US$ 1.4 trillion per annum - close to 5% of global GDP. Preventionof invasive species impacts (biosecurity), and eradication where possible, is by far the most cost-effective means ofaddressing the problem. Effective, dedicated biosecurity efforts not only minimize the likelihood of invasive
species spread, but in some cases, enable new trade. Existing invasive species impacts can be reduced throughcontrol efforts, and sometimes completely eliminated through eradication operations.

Loss of biodiversity is not an isolated issue, obviously is connected with all items selected such land use. However
in my region, among one of the most high richness areas and with a large amount of biodiversity virtually
unknown, the current scenario in loss/extinctions of species even before we name them is horrifying. With themodifications in the Brazilian environmental policies the next ten will be dramatic. Because since outside ofcurrent units of conservation (under several administrative levels, such as state or federal), the land use for
economic activities, which will impact the local biodiversity at all, become more flexible and without political,
scientific and social actions a great impact in this rich biota will be observed.
2-1-2
Major actions must be directed in promoting the knowledge about biodiversity. Scientific surveys must be
centered on the less explored areas, and this way pressing governmental agencies, with support of the society, forapplying the laws (which here are good laws of protection of biodiversity, but their compliance is far away to besatisfactory) and this way mitigates biodiversity losses due population growth and economical activities.

Just already stated elsewhere, as well as in my previous answers, environmental subjects, such as loss of
biodiversity, are not isolated issues, obviously are connected with all society activities. Indeed we need promoting
integration among urban population, industrial, agricultural and other economic activities with biodiversity
conservation. It will only be attained with massive pressure from scientific community and the society as a whole,for obligates to minimize damages and mitigate impacts of the economic development. Promoting green products,

non-petroluem derived chemicals most of which are unknown to science, though used traditionally by native
peoples. Rain forests are carbon sinks that help regulate climate and water supply. 2.- the acidifying of theoceans is of great concern that can affect beneficial microorganismas such as plankton, corals etc. It is imperative
to stop using fossil fuels - though this sounds unrealistic, but unless a switch over to alternative energy sources isdone quickly we are heading for a head-on crash. There is a need to curb the petroleum cartels to allow reasearch
into alternative energy sources. Since the industrial revolution we have become insiduous petroleum addicts. 3.Reduce rampant population growth and increase benefit sharing. Ghandi once said that there are sufficient

The change in the use of land consolidates my understanding of the biggest environmental problems, because it
has effects in relation to risk, food, the situation of the population, the water problem, problems with the native
people, desertification, climatic change, etc. If the productive models are not changed, the situation in 10 years
may very well be completely irreversible, because the present form of agriculture is practically a method of
extracting soil resources, which cannot be replenished quickly, and a lack of balance in that sense will exert
greater combined pressure on the other resources, for example biodiversity.

Environmental problems are relatively well known among all social classes who are well aware and equippedwith efficient tools with which to respond. However, the social behavior of the actors is a function of thesociopolitical climate of the countries. The policies of these countries must reinforce their legitimacy and capacity
at any time to adopt the appropriate regulative texts and measures that can strengthen the good global
governance of the issues of the country (fight against corruption, fight against impunity, promotion of a good civic
conscience, etc.) as is always proclaimed. Citizens should have confidence in their representatives.

vegetal coverage and forests (understanding of the forest as the climax of interaction among the animal andvegetal kingdoms, and the maintenance of the environmental services that it provides). Developing and spreading

The humanpopulation is increasing, the selfishness of social classes and sectors and the weakness of the government (forexample, in Bolivia, the current president should protect the environment and native people, but he does the
opposite) rapidly define the failure of societies, with a greater presence of delinquency, environmental
deterioration, hunger and poverty. If we add blind productive and financial systems, these only serve to satisfy theprivate appetite, and the result will be a disaster. We must hurry to save the efforts of different people andorganizations who live in a harmonious manner with the environment, and define a global compromise to rescue
a balanced sustainable ecological life that guarantees life for future generations.

Nowadays (at least in the last 10 years) people around the globe are trying to make it a better place to live. No.
They´re not. Although there is a comproved existence of green policies, mostly they do not work properly. Theylook like they´re green, they act green, but they´re not. Environmental education is being imbued in everyday
matters, but in some places is far from getting real. There are great government programmes, good and applied inmany small cities, fomenting small producers, making it work for real, and showing the possibilities that we canmake it better, bigger and why not greener? Consuption has increased at alarming rates, in general life quality
have seen to improve due to the exponential growth of the economy. But based on what? Ok, I do agree that
economical development is an necessary evil, but I also belive that we can have economical growth associated tosustainable development. Am I dreaming ? Maybe. We have all around, these new green minds, that go onsocial networks, over the internet, go live on television programs, pragmatics about their vision of a greater place
to live, and raise their kids. It seems beautiful, it seems nice, but not reliable. Most of them have a high patternof wealth, and also abuse of eletronics, and all other facilities that rich people do, I´m not generalizing. There is
this false moralism, people that go against bigger electricity dams, become vegetarian, save dogs and otheranimals from experiments and do not see the other side of it. That make them move, use their ipods and hightechnology devices, they do not think about it when their taking their hot shower or hot tube bath. Other example
I see on a everyday basis, is people trying to be vegetarian just for modism, while acres of natural open areas arebeing deforested giving place to grains (soy beans, corn, beans). The amount of agrotoxics used are controlled in a
false basis. Many cases of contamination pops up all the time all over the world. No radicalism here...I search forparcimonious ways of being greener. This is a slow process, but we have to keep on . I believe in a society withenvironmental education given in schools since the early ages, applied in a regular basis until college. We needto convince real investidors on the protection of forests, fomenting research in these areas, build new things,
thinking green, and foment real environmental policies.

The vegetal coverage of the country is disappearing and the consequences on the soil, water and the biota are notbeing quantified. There are no protected areas where this status is respected, therefore, even in national parks,
reservations, etc., the illicit farming, wood extraction and hunting are continuously happening. The urban
development destroys all the forests around the cities, and in the fields, the degree of the transformation forstockbreeding and agriculture lacks control.
2-1-2There should be a development plan about the land use that actually contemplates the urgency to protect vegetal
coverage for the ecosystematic services and the biodiversity. The protected areas should really be protected and alarger percentage of natural areas should be established. The illicit farming should be controlled and an
agriculture and stockbreeding should be promoted in a more friendly way to the environment. Mining is also avery serious problem in Colombia.
2-2
It is very difficult to select, among all these problems, one that may be of first importance in Colombia, because all
the things have impacts that actually have not been evaluated at national level, therefore the opinions are basedon other people’s opinion rather than on data.

importance to the future consequence.

hazardRisk Assessment to ensure secure life from any external shock/ life threat.Flood may ocure in the area they
are settling and it will deteriorating their livelihood. Trees are cut down, lands are cleared for commercial
purposes and land is distributed unequaly. Land is not utilizer for national building but for private gains. In
commercial areas, the elite, do own big land, while people at the northern part of the country forced to have
limited hectors of land. Importantly, land in Namibia, will become a family benefit and should you find thatyour family does not own land today,new generation will suffer.

unable to recover from these external shock. Many of this people have shakes as houses.This type of houses does
not provite room for privacy, neither being considered as asset by the commercial banks. when this types ofhouses being catched by fire or washed away by flood, owners usually do not qualify for any insurance to coverthem. Majority have no land to grow food for them selves, and with Climate change, like 2013 Namibia
experienced few rain drops so they were severly affected by food insecurity. Informal setlements increase crimelate and gender based violence, spread of disease and poverty rate may increase also, since most of this people

Available agricultural land will be taken up for urbanisation and tourism-related infrastructure. In 10 years land
will be even more scarce, prices will go up and there will be increased pollution and wastes. Increased pollution
and wastes in ten years will definitely affect the country's environmental assets and the population's quality oflife if nothing is done to improve these issues. Water resources are becoming more scarce because of regulardrought periods and poor management. In 10 years, water resources will become even more scarce and access towater will be an increased problem for parts of the population in the main island and the island of Rodrigues.
2-1-2
Land resources:Available agricultural land should be released with a long-term vision for the use of land in an
island with limited resources. Careful planning and transparent land transfer procedures are needed to avoid theabove. State lands should also be released in a transparent way.
Pollution: There are laws for pollution
prevention and control but the enforcement of these laws should be improved. The environmental sustainabilityof economic initiatives and investments should be a priority instead of immediate profitability for the country.
Water resources: Better water resources management and institutions are required in the main island of
Mauritius and island of Rodrigues. Water leakage issues in the water pipes and water distribution system should
be addressed . Better rain harvesting methods should be adopted.
2-2Land use is the most urgent issue in Mauritius since agricultural land is being released after Mauritiandecision-makers have decided to decrease the production of sugar (due to the decrease of sugar prices and end ofpreferential prices with the EU)and encourage investment in other sectors.
Climate change is also an
important issue and it is not easy to decide which issue is most important. They also tend to be interlinked.
Climate change is one of the causes for the periods of droughts in turn causing scarcity of water resources,
provoking more cyclones in the region and causing an increase of storm surges on the coastal areas thus causing
damage to the population living in the coastal ares. The rise in sea level is another issue which affects mainly theisland of Rodrigues as a low-lying coastal island and the main island of Mauritius to some extent.
Whiledecision-makers are aware of environmental problems in the country, they tend to make decisions which will
favour their political career rather for the welfare of the population and environmental assets.
while tourism
has become one of the main industry in Mauritius, the local tourism-infrastructure is being stretched to an
extent which is not sustainable. The target of the government is to reach 2 million tourists per year for a small
island state with less than 1.3 million inhabitants.

will be more severe (with no plant cover, droughts will be more intense and rains will cause flooding). Landdegradation is loss of biodiversity - in soils, plants and flowing up to birds, mammals, etc. Competition between
domestic livestock and wildlife will increase. Livelihoods and cultures will be threatened as pastoralists will nolonger be able to support their livestock due to loss of grazing resources.
2-1-2
Land degradation (or biodiversity loss) is one of the main causes of global climate change as carbon bounces offbare soil and back into the atmosphere. There needs to be recognition that addressing land degradation in arid orsemi-arid climate zones can play a major role in addressing climate change. By promoting covered soil in barerangelands, we can harness carbon in the soil. Given that over 60% of the earth falls in arid or semi-arid climate
zones, the global effect of ensuring carbon returns to the soil through re-establishing lost grasslands is significant.
Not only would carbon be stored but the water cycle would be more effective as covered soil also captures water.
This would also address concerns on water and biodiversity.
Pastoralists should be recognised for their vitalrole in conservation and global climate regulation. They have a lot of animals that could be managed effectively torestore land health. There should be more investment in supporting pastoralism whilst ensuring that ownershipis retained at the grass roots level and not imposed externally.

Brazil, as a large country, has several different environments and therefore has different states of conservation foreach of these environments. However, what we observe is a growing exploration activity of natural resources in allenvironments. Monocultures, mining and urban expansion are examples of this growth. The public policies that
address this issue have only favored the expansion of these activities, eg, the recasting of the forest code, whichtoday has enabled an increase in the percentage of production in each property. Another problem which is to come,it is the intention of some politicians to end the Conservation Units, this idea is being processed in ourgovernment. If Brazil does not change posture through the reformulation of public policy, the environmental
scenario of the country will be a few preserved areas, and loss of dark biodiversity.
2-1-2
Measures of public policy under scientific research results and production rates. Where laws can be balanced[194]between exploration and preservation, without favoring any category. Among them, the requirement of priorstudies of medium and long term for the installation of new ventures; the reshaping of agrarian reform and land
distribution; and the creation of more protected areas of sustainable use.

ETHIOPIA E1178

2-1-1
In our country the natural forest or other natural land covers have been facing challenges of deterioration due todevelopment activities besides small scale agricultural expansion activities. These land cover changes caused lossof different flora and fauna species in the country either through local extinction or migration. On the other hand,another ecological restoration activities have not been done in an organized way. Even some legally protectedareas may also face threats in land cover change and loss of biodiversity due to uncontrolled fire. I have seen suchproblem in Alatish National Park among western part of Ethiopia. So, public moves and organized restoration
activities should be done to restore the country forest cover and other diversity at least in unarable lands likemountains and nature reserve areas. However,unless such restoration measures can not be taken, we may losemuch in our biodiversity and exposed to drought related to local climate change. In addition, our country may also
lose its global contribution in carbon sink.
2-1-2
Indeed, loss of land cover due to expansion of development activities may not be totally solved. Since development
activities are mostly in agricultural activities that need fertile land and water supply, agricultural activities may
not be placed in some where that minimize land cover loss. Thus, I believe that the problem can be mitigated bystrengthening the national forest conservation and wield life conservation actions and strategies through capacity
building. All nature conservation bodies can contribute to realize efforts of reversing the problem by providing
valuable scientific information, trainings for main actors in the area of conservation and financial support. As
university member of the country, I have been doing to identify conservation challenges in Parks and givescientific information including mitigating mechanism for effective conservation management. I will also keep
doing the same and prepare trainings for low career conservation workers and communities to work together
with government for effective nature conservation. I believe all conservation specialists in the country should do
the same. But unfortunately conservation sectors have not strong link with universities other than providing
research permit. So, to realize dream of conservation, the two institutions should develop strong bond throughcollaborative works. In addition the global community should provide technological, training and financial
supports.
2-2
On the other hand environmental problem in Ethiopia is related to economical problem. In most cases people
become environmentally unfriendly, when their livelihood become unfriendly with agroforestry. This problem
usually happen due to agricultural expansion in cereal producer farmers. In addition, fuel wood consumption forcooking also contribute for environmental problems significantly. So, development of electric power in the country
can play role to solve problems related to power.

Habitat destruction continues at an increasing rate as more forest is flattened for soy and more savannas areburned for cattle ranches. It's taking biodiversity and natural resources with it, including the introduction ofpollution, deterioration of water sources and contamination from pesticides. Already landless people will havefewer places to exist as they are further marginalized by large land owners. Campesinos will have increasingly
fewer places to gather food when they are hungry.
2-1-2
We need to alert the world to what's happening in Paraguay. Brazil and Argentina have had some success ingathering funds to protect habitats while conditions in Paraguay worsen and laws are made which favour
agricultural development and are detrimental to conservation. The legislation must change and no pressure will
be put on the government from inside the country. Money also needs to be invested in land purchase for reserveswith established management plans. Few laws exist for conservation but those that do need to be better
monitored so that changes are actually made. The first step at this late stage is to protect all that's left.
[195]

Campesinos living close to reserves need to be given alternatives to logging and hunting, allowing them to feedthemselves through another means. Providing families with solar ovens to reduce logging is a good option, butthey also need sustainable housing. Providing micro-finance opportunities or community farming projects will
relieve hunting pressure. In addition it's becoming apparent that environmental education has an effect on
helping younger generations to comprehend the problems associated with changing land use. With moreemphasis on education the situation may improve within the country.

Clearing forests and encroachment of protected areas will further degrade the remaining forest cover resulting in
drying-up water resources more importantly and depletion of biodiversity. Forest degradation will severely
degrade the river and tank catchments and deforestation will increase soil erosion and siltation of reservoirs andtanks impacting negatively on their carrying capacity. Haphazard development in environmentally sensitive
areas such as forests, river banks and tank reservation will affect the environmental services rendered by thoseHappazard development inecosystems impacting negatively on the humans who relies on those.

Enforcement of rules and regulations pertaining to Forests and protected areas should take precedence.
Lackadaisical enforcement of environmental laws has been the main problem faced by our country today.
Secondly, additional geographical areas should be brought under a special development plan where only
plantations related businesses are encouraged i.e . teak, Gliricidia, tea or other commercial crops,. Laws thatsafeguard rivers banks and up to certain distance landwards should be enforced and protected with community
participation. This way all rivers flowing from the central highlands into the sea will have uninterrupted
jungle/forest corridors that will not only protect river banks from degrading but also help thriving biodiversity.
I also suggest that environmental education and awareness for all especially the young generation will also play a
big role in preventing environmental degradation on one hand and help living environmental consciously on theother.

With current scale and rate of land use change in favor of urbanization and agriculture in India , we envisage
rapid decline in quality of ecosystem service functioning and delivery. Most prominent ecosystem services to get
impacted by the present land use change process are - water, nutrient recycling and pollination. It will create
stress conditions for many sensitive organisms such as flowering plants, birds , butterflies and host of other small[210]

creatures which are very critical to the functioning of ecosystem e.g. snails, earthworms, pangolins, beetles etc.
Collectively it will cause serious fall in food production and eventually induce migration of people to other areas.

metropolitanization is increasing deforestation drastically, enhancing even more the local effects of climatechange (such as floods and droughts). Also, the increasing population and the growing urban area has a direct
impact on natural resources' market demand, which enhances even further the pressure over the biodiversity andecosystem services. In ten years a major portion of the central amazon rainforest might be significantly degraded,creating a major deforestation and degradation driver in the heart of the amazon biome.
2-1-2First, influence the Amazonas State development policy in order to shift a portion of the revenues from theManaus Free Trade Zone towards environmental protection, research, and incentives to sustainable businesses.
Second, influence State government to adopt better urban planing practices in order to improve public services
within the city as well as avoid unnecessary degradation of pristine forest in the surrounding areas. Third,
influence the Brazilian government to change, at least, its hydropower-based energy policy in the Amazon
rainforest.
2-2
The Brazilian Amazon has historically suffered from outside top-down mega projects that failed, one after another.
These projects left no legacy for the region or its people. However, no matter through what lens you look through,it is absolutely clear the huge potential the region has. In my modest opinion, Manaus should became the World's
Sustainability Capital, I just can't glimpse any bit of political will to do so.

human demographic growth with specific policies. 2)train economists in ecology, and estimate market values for
ALL ecosystems' components and functions, including connectivity between subsystems. 3)develop the territory
as a mosaic of interconnected units, both urbanised and non-urbanised, thus increasing ecological diversity andresilience of the non-urbanised subsystems.
2-2
In terrestrial systems, and especially in coastal systems, that are typically more densely populated by humans,
the territory must be managed at the whole watershed level, starting with a sound water management plan,managing both surface and ground waters. Pure conservation of non-urbanised subsystems which areconnected with urbanised or agricultural systems and are disconnected (water-mediated fluxes of matter andenergy) from those subsystems with which they were originally connected, is completely ineffective in the longrun. Indeed, the new fluxes between the non-urbanised system and the new systems will eventually andinevitably drive changes in its structure and functions (e.g., extinctions, changes in the succession dynamics, inhydrology and sediment dynamics, biological invasions, etc.). Each subsystem within the watershed (e.g. amangrove forest) evolved through time being continuously connected with the other ones (e.g. peat swamps,
heath forests, rivers, freshwater swamps), mainly through water flows. In fact, the same definition anddelimitation of these subsystems (e.g. a river, a forest, a lake, etc.) is largely anthropomorphic. The sameamount of urbanised area in a watershed can be (re)designed (e.g. in rehabilitation or restoration projects, or evenat an earlier phase, during land conversion and urbanisation - this being still possible in some developing
countries) following spatial patterns that establish and maintain connectivity between non-urbanised areas
through water flows (e.g. hydrological corridors, bridges, fly-overs, tunnels, bunds), thus creating a highlyinterconnected mosaic of urbanised and more resilient non-urbanised subsystems.

2-1-11) Pristine tropical rain forest are being logged to make way for oil palm agriculture. 2) Illegal sale of customaryland to companies is a major problem. 3)Even more concerning is that the Department of Environment &Conservation is not adequately supported by the government to monitor attractive industries such as logging andmining etc.
The Government in Papua New Guinea places more emphasis on economic growth (placed
number 1 on development priorities) whilst environment and natural resource is placed number eight (8).
There are cases of protected areas in Papua New Guinea where logging and mining currently occur within theboundaries of protected areas.
The high population growth rate further puts pressure on land resources.The
traditional land ownership regime whilst has protected and provided the local people with tangible benefits (wildgame, plant food) and land for subsistence agriculture is gradually being abused by corrupt deals by exploitative
companies that leave traditional custodians worse off.The Government of Papua New Guinea owns just under
20 % of the land, whilst traditional custodians owns the rest. In most cases of corrupt land deals to logging
companies, illiterate customary land owners enter into deals that leave them worse off than if they had kept theirforests.
The Department of Environment & Conservation has been underfunded by successive Governmentsthat capacity to function effectively to monitor logging, mining, and even protected areas has been often been left
neglected. Over the years previously declared protected areas/ parks have been taken over by human activities e.g[220]settlements, gardening etc..
2-1-21) Whilst Papua New Guinea is a signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the inadequate
Government support has been evident. The Department of Environment & Conservation has still yet to submit
its National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plan (NBSAP) which has passed the deadline in 2012.
2)Protected
Areas and Parks are not managed well. The Department of Environment and Conservation should be provided
adequate support to manage the protected areas, otherwise, International donor agencies should look into
supporting partners, Non-Government Organisations (NGOs), research institutions, and local community basedorganisations to conduct biological research and monitoring towards conservation in protected areas, andthereby providing indirect benefits to the traditional custodians of the forests.
3) there needs to be an increasein environmental education and awareness to the general public about the importance of land, forests, and more
importantly the protection of traditional landownership rights that protect traditional land custodians. If
awareness reaches straight to the grass roots level, well informed traditional custodians will hopefully benefit
from transparent transactions that not only bring economic gain but that there is sustainability in retaining
forests forests to maintain balance in the ecosystem in the long term.
4) An increased in well trained Papua
New Guinea conservation biologists have the potential to influence national policies in the long term. This is also
crucial for Papua New Guinea. Current NGOs supporting capacity building of national biologists and natural
resource managers include the Papua New Guinea Institute of Biological Research, The New Guinea Bintang
Research Centre, Ailan Awareness, Research & conservation Foundation, and The University of Papua New
Guinea. These institutions receive very little to no government support at all. Yet, they play a crucial role incapacity building, research and environment and conservation.

Farmland is constantly being reduced, changed to construction land, and overused. More coastal land is being
misused, but the public power is unable to implement effective management. After ten years, because there willbe less farmland and fallow fields, our agricultural products will depend more on imports. The coastline willdiminish constantly, and the wetland ecology will be extinguished; ocean pollution will worsen, and theconcentration of heavy metal in sea water will be higher.

TAIWAN T044
2-1-1
As the industry in Taiwan changes and a growing amount of farmland lies fallow, we begin to rely on imported
food, and gradually lose the ability to be self-sufficient. In the meantime, more and more merchants build houses
on farmland/hilly land, so the green land/farmland area decreases and the hard pavement area increases. Man
embezzles the green land of the nature, but does not know how to coexist with nature. In my imagination, after
ten years Taiwan will be more congested and overpopulated, and there will still be a lack of parking space and theroad facilities will still be dominated by automobiles. Under the nature-disrespecting development, Taiwan’s
environment will be more fragile, and it will be hard to prevent the occurrence of natural disasters.
2-1-2
I think we should improve the imbalance between urban and rural development, land over-development anddisrespect of environmental evaluation mechanisms. Additionally, we should change the automobile-dominatedconcept in cities, respect pedestrians’ right of way, urban biodiversity and the per-capita green space area.
2-2
In terms of global warming, I feel helpless. I know that the CO2 emissions of airplanes are one of the primarycauses, but Taiwan still allows the establishment of cheap aviation companies with lower airfares, so more people
go sightseeing abroad by air, and more CO2 is emitted. While promoting economic development and cultural
exchanges, how can we protect the earth and reduce our carbon footprint? When booking airline tickets, we arealways in a dilemma, but our wish to enjoy ourselves always overcomes our sense of compassion. I believe thatmany people feel like me, but how can we alleviate global warming?

It is vital to modify the public policies related to the environment and assign more resources to the prevention andcontrol of pollution and contamination, as well as to the preservation of fundamental resources such as the
Guarani aquifer. At a particular level, it is urgently necessary to have an awareness of it and modify consumption
habits. The public policies should cause each person to feel responsible for the preservation and conservation of

People in general act as if the future of the planet were not their responsibility, and they use it, take advantage ofit, and waste resources, the reversal of which will take a long time. The industries, other than some cases, do nottake into account the fact that their production can contaminate or degrade the environment, nor do they
undertake prevention for adequate mitigation. Agricultural production depends more and more on products[227]whose misuse causes contamination. Deforestation without reforestation is showing its effect with alarming
climatic changes. It is necessary to produce a new type of human who is able to recognize the importance ofenvironmental protection for himself and future generations.

Unfortunately this issue depends on strong government regulation (particularly for black water treatment) andvoluntary measures by polluting industries and coastal communities. Citizen action is limited to exercisingpressure to force necessary changes, and minor lifestyle changes to reduce the amount of polutants and garbage
generation. Small communities need to engage in proper garbage disposal and black/gray water treatment.

[255]

Ranking was thinking about Colombia, but the most important issue globally is the economic drive to overfish,
and in general, extract more resources than necessary. This is caused not only by an increasing global population,
but particularly by the consumerist lifestyle associated with capitalism, which rewards waste production andpoor quality products. This is the major cause behind excess extraction and increased pollution. It is time toattack the real problems behind our unsustainable society, instead of tackling their effects. The economic system
and ideology has to change globally, before we can actually see anything improve at all. Polluters (including us,
city dwellers) should bear the costs of environmental degradation, rather than poor communities in another partof the world.

In the past years, China has achieved impressive economic development, which however, is accompanied byenvironmental pollution and severe water crisis. Acceleration in the pace of urbanization and increase of urban
population has brought about pressures for urban and environmental management. China is the country withthe largest overall national greenhouse gas emissions and its aggregate CO2 emissions growth is greater thanthat of any other nation. One in seven people lack access to drinking water that meets national standards.
For example, the capital city, Beijing, has a total urban population of 20 million, and it has witness greatchallenges of air pollution and water shortage. Although various and great efforts have been made, local citizens
still suffer from smog and insecure and insufficient water supply. Water and other natural resources are
increasingly jeopardized by climate change, human activities, and misuse. Forests, which are essential toregulation and improvement of air and water quality, have been severely damaged due to increased local demandfor energy and lack of sustainable sound science management; in addition, environmental awareness of thecitizens are to be enhanced.
If no measurements are implemented, the pollution will continue to deteriorate.
For example, air condition in China will be a big challenge, which will be a big threat to people’s health. The
damage the pollution brings about will balance out the economic increases.

The scale of the challenges that we are facing today requires creative solutions that go beyond conventional
approaches, through innovation in policy, business, and program design at global, regional, national and local

Young people arefull of energy and innovative ideas, recognizing our unique role of engaging in the efforts to address climatechange and critical environmental issues. Youth’s involvement will also promote more effective and efficientdeveloping of more potential frameworks for sustainable environment conservancy and also for securing a better

2-1-2
Immediate attention and remedies by real environmental engineers and totally keeping out theenvironmental-pseudos
2-2
Green revolution advocated by MS Swaminathan required addition of fertilizers and insecticides/pesticides into
the crop-farms to supplement nutrients and to prevent crops from damage by insects/pests etc. These chemicals
had to be added in calculated and controlled amounts. The most Indian farmers are illiterates and unaware ofscientific measure implications apart from being greedy like any other business-person. Thus the farmers in India
indiscriminately started adding much higher than needed amounts of these chemicals in the hope of bumper
crops with zero damage by the insects and pests. Unlike humans, the animals and plants never consume foodmore than the needed amount irrespective of anything and the insects/pests would not consume more amounts ofthese killer chemicals than necessary. As a result, these unconsumed left-over chemical fertilizers andinsecticides/pesticides enter with rain water or irrigation run-offs into the various water-ways like lakes, rivers,
underground aquifers. The entry of chemical fertilizers into the lakes in the presence of carbon-dioxide andsunlight encourages heavy growth of algae which gives out oxygen during the photosynthesis process. This
released oxygen is consumed by the aerobes while destabilizing the organic matter only to give out carbon-dioxide
needed by the algae manifesting a bio-algal-symbiosis. The severe algal blooms soon deplete all the nutrientsresulting in algal deaths. The dead algae, unable to float, settle to reach the lake-bottom where it starts getting
stabilized first aerobically and soon thereafter anaerobically to release nutrients and some foul-smelling gases
apart from leaving some inert-fibrous material as residual leftover. These nutrients get diffused to reach thelake-top to again start algal synthesis due to the availability of carbon-dioxide and sunlight. This cycle keeps
repeating and the once started process described as eutrophication would never end such that the leftover inert
fibrous material keeps building up in the lake bottom which phenomenon was detected some 5 decades ago infamous Dal lake in Jammu and Kaashmeer state of India when a foreign tourist took his last dive into the lakefrom his house-boat (a kind of mini-hotel on the lake) only to be entangled into the said heavily accumulated inert
fibrous material. In due course of time, the lake gets converted into a marsh-land only to be reclaimed as landthus causing the death of the lake. Almost all Indian lakes have already become victims of this eutrophication to alesser or greater extent. The stated entry of insecticides/pesticides in the various water resources have caused
their concentration beyond their permissible levels only to render such waters unsuitable for drinking supporting
the famous quote water-water everywhere but not a drop to drink. The green-revolution, in Indian context, alone
is responsible for this biggest environmental disaster on the earth and on top of this, the Indian government isseriously considering to implement a super green-revolution in India perhaps another befooling by thepseudo-environmentalist(s). Another scientist of India (whose organization shared a Nobel-prize) admitted tosome mistakes in global-warming assessments. India’s ministry of environment, the decision making national
body/authority is full of pseudo-environmentalists and considers the real environmental engineers as virus andout-castes which fact is well manifested by the failure of environmental projects including the various
Ganga-action-plans.

freshwater fish fauna, of which I am a specialist. In this category there are about 12 critical endagered species,
and for about 8 of them nothing is done for their preservation. Eclatant is the case of a cyprinid, the Italian rudd,
Scardinius scardafa, which now survived amomg its Whole range, only in a single locality: the Lake Scanno. But
in recent time massive stocking as been done of cyprinids coming from central and northern Italy in this lake.
Result of this, as S. scardafa was eliminated from its native range by introduction of alien cyprinids, will be surely

The environmental pollution problem should be dealt with from a macro perspective. That is, the government
should formulate and perfect the law system for environmental improvement and protection, and make sure that
there are laws to abide by on all environmental issues such as environmental protection, management andpenalties. Strengthen supervision and implementation, and ensure that the laws are strictly observed. The
enforcement of the law must be strict; make sure that those who pollute the environment receive appropriate andreasonable penalties so as to warn those who have not polluted the environment. Finally, we should publicize theimportance of protecting the environment and the disadvantages of polluting the environment from theperspective of education. Through methods such as education and media, strengthen people's environmental
protection consciousness. When dealing with environmental issues, we should emphasize prevention and combine

Land with heavy metal residues will not be tillable, or will cause severe food pollution and further expand andpollute water sources.
Aggravated air pollution and severe haze hazards will endanger our living environment and national health.
As a consequence of air pollution, more solar radiant heat will be absorbed and the urban heat island effect will be
produced, so there will be more waste heat in the environment.

The intensity of the threat is remarkable. Turkey had 720 dams and HEPP's constructed. Then turkish
government released 1000 licences for HEPP's over a night. HEPP's are constructed with so few EIA(Environmental Impact Assessment) enforcement. 99% of the investment projects has been approved in Turkey.
Turkey's a very rich country, this will result in extinction of lots of restricted range plant species (Around 3300 out
of 10.000 plant taxa found in Turkey, is restricted to Turkey), modification of aquatic environment and extinctionof fresh water fauna (Turkey has a high endemizm ratio with 34% of fresh water fish found only in Turkey.)The
contruction often results in translocation of the local people, who has the indegenous knowlegde and has been
modificating the landscape for ages. Removal of local people will result in landuse changes, that have been coevolved with the landscape.

In Peru climate change is rapidly melting the Andean ice caps reducing water supply to the large population
living on the desert coast where no rainfall occurs. In the highlands, overgrazing and desertification is worsening

reducing food security/production, increasing desertification in the highlands and threatening both the large
urban centers and the main agricultural productivity of the coastal desert. Another major problem affecting the

If we do not begin to use our water resources sustainably I foresee a situation where water resources are depleted
possibly by between 30 and 40 per cent globally in the next 15 years. Within the next 20 years or sooner we could
witness the worlds first ever world war over water resources. In addition depleted water resources are most likely
to interfere with the attainment of some of the MDGs especially access to clean and safe drinking water. Less
rainfall and less water for irrigation will impact on food security and affect productivity and increase
desertification due to drought. Water resources are also likely to cause more human-human and human wildlife
conflict if the current trends are not reversed. Fresh water biodiversity is certain to be affected in that animals onland and in fresh water lakes and reservoirs need to survive. Drops in rainfall levels have a direct correlation withwater levels in lakes and on land all of which are critical in supporting biodiversity.

We need to seriously start to conserve out water towers and catchment areas and provide incentives tocommunities to conserve them for example introduce a levy on end water consumers and power generationcompanies that use dams that can be paid by them to conserve water towers and key catchment areas. We also[287]

need to have serious and candid debate on the worlds population and the effect it will have on our natural
resources going forward. By the year 2050 the earth is projected to have a total of 12.5 billion people who will
inevitably put immense pressure on the earths finite natural resources including land and water. If nothing isdone to check the earth population, this is a recipe for chaos, conflict and increased poverty.
2-2
The world's population is continuing to grow significantly. It is often assumed that despite this spike in the
population, the earths resources are infinite and will be able to accommodate even significant changes in theworlds population. Unfortunately this is false. Land fertility is projected to decrease by at least 2% every year due
to over-farming, depletion of natural resources and effects of climate change. The worlds water resources (onground and underground) are projected to decrease by 3-5% every year. Incidents of drought and extreme climate
variation will become ever more frequent. Food insecurity will become the rule rather than the exception going
forward. The worlds most vulnerable namely children and women in poorer parts of the globe will increasingly
face more poverty, food insecurity and scarcer water resources. Governments, development organizations andeven the private sector cannot afford to wish these issues away as they are a recipe for conflict, social imbalanceand economic disaster. Imagine a Coca-cola company that does not have water to produce the soft drink an Ikea
without trees to turn into furniture or a Monsanto whose seed will not germinate. Imagine two countries fighting
over land and water resources or communities warring over a watering hole for their animals. Imagine humans
and wildlife in conflict over water resources.Imagine an urban population that has no water in their taps, toilets
or showers. Imagine a community that faces year after year of failed planted crop because the soils are no longer
fertile or a community that has to invest more capital in fertilizer thus eating into their crop yield margin. Whilesome of these issues currently seem like they are out of a book of fiction, if we as mankind do nothing, they willsoon be real problems will real consequences. Indeed we have practical examples of some of them even today. We
cannot afford to take them for granted or as cross cutting issues any longer. These are real issues - dare I say they

Issues relating to water are crucial in Tunisia either in terms of quantity or quality. With less 500m3/hab/anTunisia is in a critical state and if no action is taken; in less than 10 years the country will face a water shortageand must make painful choices in terms of allocation of these resources. Moreover, since 2011, attacks on water
quality are much more numerous, thus affecting the available quantity of water of good quality. If nothing is done,
the risks to environment and human health will increase. Already, some water-related diseases havereappeared with increasing frequency. In ten years time, the health conditions of some parts of the country could
become deplorable with perhaps the development of epidemics.
2-1-2
At individual or collective level it is necessary to promote and develop the implementation of technical andbehavioral ways to reduce consumption and water pollution In Tunisia, many efforts have been made since along time (implementation of water mobilization and distribution strategies , sanitation programs, water
conservation strategies,pollution control, ....) in addition to the establishment of a well developedlegal arsenal.
However, since 2011, the conjonctural weakness of the public institutions explains that these laws are not or
poorly enforced. We can only hope that this situation remains limited in time. Globally and in the medium term,
it is necessary to help countries like Tunisia to face water challenges, especially in the context of climate change
which these countries are not responsible for, implementing integrated and cohesive cooperation policies ti[290]support national institutions but also local authorities and users communities in improving water resourcesmanagement(access to drinking water but also water collection and treatment, water resources optimization,

Major threat is declining in species composition, species association. Shifting of species is quite common in theeastern India. Pisciculture practice with acceptable limit of aquatic and wetland species through proper
management plan may enrich biodiversity, productivity as well as sustainability of the system. Indiscriminate
use of chemical fertilisers and use of organochlorine pesticide should be banned immediately with proper
rules/laws. Violation of rules / laws must be met with punishment. I am ready to offer myself in restoration of

Water scarcity will intensify. People will not have access to drinking and clean water particularly in cities like
Kathmandu, Biratnagar, Pokhara etc. There will be significant increase in water borne diseases such as jaundice,cholera etc. At present, city like Biratnagar and its adjacent areas, are facing increased cases of jaundice (The
Kathmandu Post, 13th and 14th May 2014).
2-1-2
I think government needs to execute policies and laws that are already being enacted in protecting water.
Government needs to encourage tree plantation and needs to generate awareness on environmental problems
through various methods such as using NGOs or INGOS or local bodies. Compulsory tree plantation in andaround the mouth of river need to be executed seriously. More importantly as Nepal is drafting a a new
constitution, it need to address environmental issues explicitly and need to emphasize on right to live in clean andhealthy environment as a fundamental right. In my opinion Nepal needs judges who are environmentallyproactive while giving judgement to the environment related cases. So far we do not have courageous judges likein India, who foresee the environmental issues beyond laws.
2-2
Nepal has unplanned cities like Kathmandu, Biratnagar, Pokhara etc. Because of this we are witnessing increasein temperature due to the concrete buildings. Because these cities are unplanned therefore, the infrastructure
and the amenities for public are weak in state. Due to the in-migration into city areas, in search of employment
and other opportunities, big cities are getting congested day by day. It is facing many environmental and healthproblems. First, there is scarcity of drinking water, food, and other amenities. Second, population of such cities
have increased a lot, creating food scarcity, health problems, pollution, scarcity in cultivable land and less
opportunity for employment. This situation has lead to corruption, pollution and environmental problems.
Political situation is unpredictable in Nepal. Government has become weak that it is not able to enforce policies ineach sector properly and corruption has increased double fold since Nepal turned into federalism in 2006. The
major problem in my opinion is that, 'environment problems or issues' are not considered as a priority agenda by
the government. More importantly government is unable to link environment issues with other areas, which canbe seen in 5-year plans of government.

Feryal Jamal Kherissat JORDAN E890

2-1-1
The gravest environmental challenge that Jordan faces today is the scarcity of water. Water resources in Jordan
have fluctuated around a stationary average, the country’s population has continued to rise. A high rate of natural
population growth, combined with periodic massive influxes of refugees, has transformed a comfortable balance
between population and water. The deficit is covered by the unsustainable practice of overdrawing highland
aquifers, resulting in lowered water tables and declining water quality.
On a per capita basis, Jordan has oneof the lowest levels of water resources in the world. Most experts consider countries with a per capita waterproduction below 1,000 cubic meters per year to be water-poor countries. In 1997, Jordanians consumed a total of
882 million cubic meters (MCM). In 1996, per capita share of water was less than 175 for all uses. This placed
Jordan at only 20 percent of the water poverty level. The extent of the crisis is further demonstrated by the fact
that, from the 1997 total of 882 MCM, around 225 MCM was pumped from ground water over and above the levelof sustainable yield. Likewise, about 70 MCM was pumped from non-renewable fossil water in the southeast of
the country.
With Jordan’s population expected to continue to rise, the gap between water supply and demandthreatens to widen significantly. By the year 2025, if current trends continue, per capita water supply will fallfrom the current 200 cubic meters per person to only 91 cubic meters, putting Jordan in the category of having an
absolute water shortage.

I find the scale of 10 years rather short for the actual exponential population growth to lead to irreversible
large-scale deterioration. Nevertheless, through that, the other impacts such as land use(agriculture+urbanization+mines), climate change, the extinction of species and pollution/contamination will
also be accelerated to counterbalance the mitigation efforts that proceed thanks to the advances of science andtechnology.
2-1-2
In developing countries, such as Guinea and everywhere in Africa, it will not be easy to slow population growthfor various reasons, but the international community can/must:- support the public power of these countries to take energy measures in order to increase (save) the key
ecosystems that are still in good condition for preservation (increase the surface of the Protected Areas/AMP)- support these countries to reinforce the technical, logistical and financial capacity of the organizations to takecharge of environmental protection- undertake environmental lobbying/raising awareness of the wider public (at the local, regional and national
level) of political decision makers (parliamentarians, municipal authorities) to ensure that they respectnational and international legislation and regulations on the preservation of biological diversity and economic
power (major extraction and transformation industries) for the use of systems and methods of exploitation thathave little impact on the environment- encourage international cooperation in the field of the environment (act locally and think globally)- continue forward-looking scientific studies on the cause and effect of climate change to arrive at mitigation[309]

It is true that preservation does not exclude exploitation. Actually, it is the degradation rhythm of key spacesthat is alarming, but in many countries, there are still key spaces whose preservation in situ is easily feasible.
However, in developing countries, where national institutions (Government, Parliament, Judicial) are still
weak in the face of the monopolies of industrial giants and the pressure of rich countries, there is a weakpolitical will that attempts to sell off even protected areas that were classified a long time ago, or wetlands ofconfirmed ecological importance. In addition, the sharing of environmental benefits is not effective in many
respects to better preserve them for future generations.

The exponential increase in the global population will increase the non-sustainable use of natural resources
and conflicts, being the latest reason for all the environmental problems in the world. In my country, Spain, as
in all the Western European countries, there is administrative control, environmental awareness, and superior
economic capacity that allow signficant control of the population impact. But the migratory pressure of thedeveloping countries is so high that it will cause political and social conflicts that will affect negatively theprotection policy of resources, above all in situations of economic crisis.
2-1-2
Strengthening the development of the economically poorest people through educational and sanitarydevelopment. In this way, these societies will reach the point of the population self-control of the western world,
regulating population growth, its immediate and imperious necessity of natural resources and the necessity ofemigrating to rich countries. For this, we need to strengthen the democratic development of these societies andincrease investment and international cooperation, particularly with the objective of incorporating women as
personal and social decision makers for obtaining independence and deciding freely in terms of controlling thebirth rate.

The decisions related to the environment should be based exclusively on non-economic criteria and techniques.
We need to change the scale of value of our society to put life ahead of the selfish comfort of human beings.

The rapidly increasing human population is resulting in excessive demand on natural resources like water,
land for agriculture, land for development, sewage issues, energy consumption, health and hygiene resulting
in contamination and disease outbreaks. Urban sprawl is extraordinarily rapid in Kenya is now taking up
important land, pressurising national park boundaries, cutting of migration corridors and resulting in an
increase of ALL poaching of game meat as well as trophy game. Trees are being cut down every minute forcharcoal consumption both within Kenya and being shipped overseas to the middle east. Our energy resources
like timber, water, oil, gas, minerals are all being exploited by international firms and sold outside of thecountry when we haven't resolved our own energy needs first. There is huge potential for clean energy to takehold in Kenya like solar power.
2-1-2
Significant attempts to limit human population growth by introduction of family planning on a massive scale.
With an exponential increase in human population (both from birth rates and immigration from destabilised
neighbouring countries), all public services are under annual strain and getting worse. Consequently
environmental issues keep getting pushed down the ladder of importance in the face of human suffering. With
terrorist threats on our borders and now inside the country, valuable tourism in the country is getting knockedback which at present is one of the main motivating forces for the country to protect its wildlife and wild places.
With increased terrorism we could have a disaster for our wildlife if less supporting tourism comes in. Hugeconcerted international effort is now needed to keep Kenya stable and to remove Al Shabaab from within the
country. The more Somalia can be stabilised the more immigration can be reduced and efforts to stabilise[317]

population growth can take affect.
2-2
All environmental problems we are facing in Kenya are to do with an increasing human population either inthe country or globally (i.e. climate change). This issue has to be tackled be environmentalists andconservationists alike as well opening as a much closer dialog with the humanitarian organisations to combine
efforts. Too often humanitarian organisations do not consult conservationists or wildlife experts and the lack ofunderstanding can be catastrophic for wild places (e.g. bore holes being dug for communities next to National
Parks which were previously pastoralist communities and now with a bore hole just base themselves aroundthe water, over grazing inside the parks; goats being given to communities by humanitarian organisations
when each villager already owns hundreds of goats that are already overgrazing the area and yet won't
sell/kill any to relieve starvation in their children etc). With a more stable human population, planning andbudgeting for environmental long term initiatives becomes easier to manage and predict. At the moment,
every year we have millions more mouths to feed off our limited resources and its going to reach a breaking
point with natural resources (e.g. forests, rivers, wildlife, fish stocks etc) inevitably being the first to loose out.

Ethiopia one the highest human population and this is growing every year by at least 2.9%. I feel this is themost dire problem when it comes to environmental conservation (whether it is forest, soil, water wildlife etc)in
the country which is not addressed well enough. A growing population means more human beings competingfor a limited resource and putting unwanted demand on the earth's resources. Our mode of agriculture isoutdated and we do not use smaller areas to feed large populations yet.
2-1-2
There must be a lot of awareness and education. I believe showing the consequences of a growing populationon the earth's limited resources will perhaps awaken people from their slumber. We may be able to use
religious leaders (Muslim and Orthodox Church) to reach out to people. The religion leaders must first be
convinced to take the message to the people. On the other hand, we must have technologies that empower us
to use smaller tracts of land to produce more in a eco-friendly way. It is also possible to seek other options ofdeveloping ecotourism to benefit society so that people don't really depend on land use practices that waste
land and its resources.

I feel that conservation of the earth's resources is really about a culture that should reside in the people.
Conservation is for people and not really for big cats, elephants or rhinos alone. I believe conservation is a

waved by NGOs or Government or the global think tank. It should emanate from people who are willing toconserve the land for all its values to society.

Increased pressure on limited environmental resources (water, agricultural land), will result in greater poverty,
inequality, and social conflict, at a regional level. Even taking the current government's corruption into
account (which would further increase pressure), as well as the great natural wealth (diamonds, gold,
platinum)of the country (wealth which would decrease pressure on the environment). Globally, the issue ismore complex, due to differing levels of environmental pressure, population growth and institutional
corruption. However, no nation lives in isolation. For example, pollutants from China affect EU states, andgreenhouse gas output from Asia alone is contributing to global climate change.

Slowing and halting global population growth is still as relevant as it was in the 1980's. It is unfortunate thatit has become taboo to approach the subject.

However,growth is not sustainable, growth is what causes the environmental ills (Malthus' idea of exponential growth,or compounding is real). We, including me, all contribute.

impacts, and induce negative population growth and reduced resource use, then we'll have a chance for a not

We should strictly regulate population growth and demand a radical change in the way in which thiscivilisation live. It is necessary to eradicate capitalism and the market as a unique way of life and regainawareness of ecosystem resilience. We should reach a true intelligence in terms of our presence in the world
and overcome the belief that we are superior to other species. We should live more austere.

It is necessary to transform the worldview of modern societies in order to dispose of the paradigms that havebrought us to the civilizing crisis that is suicidal.

Population growth is a problem affecting mostly developping countries, not developped countries such as
Canada. In these countries I foresee grave environmental and political problems linked to water (quality andaccess), land (use and access), as well as epidemiological problems related to an increase in the size of urban
areas with insufficient sanitary measures. In developped countries the population problem is linked to thelevel of consumption, which I do not foresee as declining. This is creating pressure on the ecosystems ofdevelopping countries.

marine and freshwater) must be protected in sanctuaries. An ethic of global stewardship must develop anddominate the world's decision making systems. The world must stop talking about ”sustainable development”
and start talking about a ”sustainable retreat”. Reliance on credit-driving economic planning must stop.
Democratic decision making systems must incorporate government agencies whose sole task is to advocate forthe insterests of future generations - of both humans and the world's non-human inhabitants. For further

Raising awareness of three facts: that total human impact on the bio-physical life-support system of our finite

divided by the number of people, (”A finite planet is like a finite pizza - the more we are, the less for each”); andthat population growth on a finite planet will certainly end, either sooner the humane way by fewer births(population-stabilisation policies), or later by the 'natural' way by more deaths (Famine, disease and war).

necessary policies can only follow this increased awareness.

Environment issues no doubt are of utmost concern. But a growing population is first fighting to resolve issuesof bread, clothing and accommodation. I wish to quote a small example. After harvesting of the crops thefarmers in north India burnt the stumps of the crop (thanks to the modern harvester machines which leave
about half to one foot of the stumps in the field). The farmers are aware that the smoke is causing[326]

environmental problems but they have no other option but to burn the fields so that they can raise next crop.
The manual labor is so expensive that they resort to simple mean of clearing the field by burning. I want toemphasize that environmental issue are getting defeated by more primary issue like food and day-to-day
needs. Climate change is a global concern but a common man say a farmer has other basic issues to address
first. That is why general public is of the opinion that the issues like climate change are more suited forconferences, discussions and sermonizing. Another example I want to quote from Indian society where two
major festivals Holi (festival of colours) and Deepawali (festival of lights) cause a lot of environmental pollution,by burning of wood and fireworks, but they are continuing despite people knowing the problem.

Population explosion creates extreme pressure on the natural resources. If population growth is not controlled
all our natural resources would be soon depleted beyond repair!
2-1-2Conservation must begin from home; therefore at least educated people must decide to have small families(max 2 kids). Compulsory sterilisation of men after fathering two kids must be exercised. This may seemdifficult to achieve but we have NO CHOICE but to implement such strict measures. If population growth /explosion is checked, half of India's (and the world's) problems would be under control.
2-2Haphazard developmental pressures on our natural areas (ecosystems) must be controlled. Srevices of thenatural ecosystems must be taken into account before destroying them in the name of 'development'.
Development is necessary but development at the cost of forests, biodiversity, water sources has bo meaning

The current global overpopulation and its still continuing growth is at the root of all environmental evil. I
happen to live in a relatively sparse populated area of the world but here the (environmental) cost (energy
consumption etc.) per capita is very high.
2-1-2Fortunately, actions are being taken already: Better education and health care - in particular for women seem to be the best way to reduce family sizes. It is paradoxical: to reach permanent improvement on the[333]global level we have to accept an temporal (environmental) cost for rising the living standard for large
populations in large parts of the globe or accept partly inhuman policies like the one child system in China.
After having reached a stable population size of - say - one thousand million people, an environmentally
neutral economy/world is thinkable.

Just a trivial example: To produce enough food for all would not need any (over)use of fertilizers and pesticides

Population growth is an issue that is not addressed within environmental regulations. Although population
growth is mentioned a source of environmental problems, it is almost a taboo issue to discuss as far as
regulation. In a country where even birth control and abortion are contentious political topics to this day, I do
not foresee approaching regulations regarding population increases.
2-1-2
I think there should be ”environmental penalties” for folks that reproduce more children than what maintains
current population (i.e one set of parents can have one child per parent-2 offspring)...current tax systems andtax breaks favor those that have more children. Also, science education is falling short, leading to legislationthat passes or fails not based on scientific evidence, but on politics and lobbying. There is also a huge
disconnect with the natural sciences, with mass media influencing hype, rather than fact. Education ofyoung people (in a more connective way with their surroundings, rather than in a textbook andcomputer-based learning approach) is key to influencing future stewards of the environment.

In the past 10 years we have recorded and average increase of 15% in the population of our 50 villages. In thenext 10 years the population is likely to increase another 15-20%. This will greatly impact the environment the
Tenkile Conservation Alliance (TCA) is trying to protect (~200,000 hectares of tropical rainforest). Villagers in
Papua New Guinea (PNG) live mostly from gardens on their land. The more people there are the greater landarea needed is to feed everyone. Village gardens encroach on virgin rainforest each and every year. This inturn affects the levels of biodiversity, erosion, water flow and other environmental services.

A thorough and intensive 'Family Planning' project which is long lived - at least 10 years duration. At least five

place. Another action required is ”Resource Management” which will teach people the skills and knowledge
to change present garden practices (slash and burn) to sustainable methods such as crop rotation and otherfood types. Implementing sustainable crops, which are conducive to the environment, will negate the pressing

Increasing population of the earth in general and India in particular will cause serious environmental damage
as a consequence of extremely high demand of food, water (land use) on one hand and raising the levels of
Carbon-di-oxide and other greenhouse gases on the other side. This will cause serious in-balance on the earth
as well as in the atmosphere. These both will further deteriorate the solar radiation budget on the earth.
Thus appropriate measures are not taken to control the population the climate cycle will be advanced andthereby the human survival will be seriously affected (large glacier maximum may be advanced).
2-1-2
We have to control the population growth seriously. We have to optimize the use of water and land resources.
Next we have to protect al five basic elements of environment viz. geosphere, helio-sphere, hydrosphere,
magnetosphere, atmosphere. In order to protect these five elements we also have to optimize the application ofelectricity and magnetism and exploring the space. We have to minimize the application of aircraft thatdamage the atmosphere and magnetosphere. Minimum use of vehicles that pollute the lower atmosphereshould be ensured. We must further need to connect rivers for better and fruitful utilization of water
resources per capita per anum.
However, the best components/ actions need to be taken to prevent theconditions are Non-violence to any scale, and Live and let other live.
2-2
We are neither seriously concerned on environmental issues nor we have any solid plans for actions. In factcommercialization has gone in-depth of the blood of mankind. I would like to split up the environmental
issues in two parts: Natural cycle where humankind cannot do significantly, second is human/ organism
generated cycle. The first cycle (natural) is dependent on the various motions of the earth, sun (solar activity)and celestial objects etc. and geodynamic forces and thereby revealing cycles from 11-years to 100000 years.
However, the other environmental issues are concerned with humankind. For example, I will concentrate onhydrosphere, more recent catastrophe occurred in North India (Uttarakhand) causing death toll to more than
25000 people was mainly because of commercialization of natural resources like large water mass bodies inthe Himalayan mountains to generate electricity, to enhance tourism etc. The extremely poor management
system (without any strategic plan) of water utilization, road development, human traffic management etc.
caused the local climate change severely as well as forced the change of local geodynamics. Similar situations
are prevailing in Kashmir region and perhaps might also be elsewhere in the world. However, these issues are
result of increase in population and hence the increasing demand of water and other logistics.

rather than pollute our waterways. Villages of summer homes and winter homes would help to allow theland to rest so a more nomadic lifestyle would help the land to heal. Humans would need to reeducate
themselves to cease needing the stimulation of so many other humans around them exceeding the carrying
capacity of the earth by unbridled growth. Any form of government would need to give incentives to keep the
population down such as tax breaks for those who do not have children. Education to explain that unbridled
growth is not a blessing it is a hazard to the future and always leads to exceeding the carrying capacity of the
Earths resources. Only efficient converters of domestic animals could be utilized like chickens or goats. The
natural habitats would be allowed to grow back and flourish and the natural wildlife species like Bison, bears,
moose, all migratory Birds, fish etc allowed to flourish. Hunting for sport would not be allowed or condoned.

We all need to encourage diversification of livelihoods. e.g. people who are purely crop and livestock farmers
could invest in summer and winter crops, wildlife , tourism interventions etc as means of securing income andthus food resources. And also to act as contingency plans, say there is flood and most crops are flooded away,
then people will be able to benefit from livestock and / or wildlife products. Some species are more adapted todroughts then others. We all need to advocate for livelihood diversification and try to change our mind sets infavour of today's environmental conditions.

2-1-2
We can't stop it, its gone too far. We can prepare for the crisis and develop innovative ways of producing foodbased on permaculture and agroecological principles that restore land health and increase capacity of land to
sequester CO2. Governments can also invest a great deal more in the development of renewable energy to
reduce overall level of CO2 emission.

Governments can enhance the capacity of society to understand the magnitude of the crises we face byencouraging the application of complexity science to environmental problems. The financial and institutional
systems that govern human activity and human uses of natural resources are largely based on the false
assumption that nature works through cause-effect relationships. The natural world is complex and
unpredictable. We cannot manage the environment if we continue to view it as machinery that can beengineered to provide an endless supply of goods and services for human livelihood. A paradigm shift from
simple to complex system thinking will help us to re-organise after the crisis of collapse and put society on abetter foundation for sustainable development.

We already have a severe lack of food security here in Hawai‘i. This situation will only worsen. GMO
companies have bought most of the agricultural land and they do not produce food here. They only use theland and resources for research crops. Further, they are severely polluting the resources. Their economic
impact has devastated the agricultural industry and other communities here, and most agricultural experts
are predicting that the food agricultural industry will be completely dead here within 20 years. If this is notaddressed, there will be even less food production and food security here in Hawai‘i in 10 years.
2-1-2
We need to put land and resources (i.e., water) into food production. This not only creates food security, but it
creates social and economic stability. It improves health and well-being in communities.
We need to ban
GMO experimental crops. We need to place restrictions on the use of chemicals used by industrial agriculture.
We need to require GMO companies to do environmental assessments. We have to allow communities to feedthemselves and to be healthy. The dominance of chemical seed companies in Hawaii has had a devastating
impact on our communities, food security, and resource management.
2-2
Food and water are linked here, as with anywhere. We need to put water back into food production. With
increasing droughts and other impacts from climate change, we need to be planning and prioritizing our
natural resources better than we are right now. We need to control and manage land use better, as to better
product our oceans and water resources. We need to establish protected areas that allow for communities topursue healthy and sustainable livelihoods; too often protected areas are too aggressive and fail to consider theneeds of local and indigenous communities. Improving resources requires everyone; we need to create
conservation plans that create central roles for communities and their needs.

A food crisis would be the most dramatic consequence. This deterioration, however, also affects the social andeconomic fabric of regions that depend most on fishing, agriculture, animal breeding... (specially the mostartisanal and vulnerable ones), leading to a premature abandoning of the activity, no generational
replacement and the consequent impoverishment of these regions and increase in migration.

A new model of management and governance based on sustainability is both possible and necessary. The
challenge is to restore trust in the fishing-agricultural-animal breeding sector and the State. In order togenerate trust it is necessary to work with the actual sector and with the state on participative processes basedon dialogue. In these processes it is necessary to incorporate principles of transparency, representation,
participation … to build up a culture of dialogue focused on trust and joint responsibility.

Increasing population size coupled with higher lifestyle expectations results in increasing demands onenvironmental resources including land and water, coupled with increased pollution leading to climate change,loss of biodiversity etc. Unless the population stabilises and reduces consumption, then in 10 years time there
will be less space for wildlife, more pollution, the populations of more species will have decreased in size or
species will have gone extinct, increased risk of climate change, and a planet with less resources and humanand wildlife populations at greater risk.

Consider the impact of our individual actions Stop wasting - unplug electrical equipment that is not needed,
reduce water consumption, reduce our reliance on motorised vehicles, reduce consumption of throwaway
convenience goods. Petition the government for sustainable consumption - make sure homes have water
conservation measures inbuilt, reduced electrical/heating requirements, sustainable sources of energy e.g.
solar, stop tarmacing over every bit of green in cities, reduce packaging, make more efficient use of urban land
to minimise environmental impact, re-design the planning system so that the needs of wildlife, resource use
etc is included in large- and small-scale planning decisions, increase sustainable energy resources, reducereliance on fossil-fuel, basically use common sense!

Our lifestyles are base on values and principles that guide our every day actions. Those values guiding thecurrent global society are causing a broad disconnection of human beings from Nature. The predominant
global lifestyle needs an exponential economic growth in a world that has finite capabilities to process ourwastes and to provide us with all the resources needed in that kind of growth.
If this issue keeps goingfurther, more people would not perceive that their lives depend on ecological processes, and would do actions
and would take decisions affecting those vital process on which human life relay on. Based on this, it would
be expected to see in the next ten years:•
an increased use of natural resources beyond theirsustainable use rates; •an increased deposition of wastes into the environment, including CO2,
affecting ecosystems and human health; •more ecosystems overstepping functioning thresholds andhence affecting ecosystem services needed for human welfare.

Norways territory may be less exposed than others,hence my restrained use of the danger clock as applied at
home- which you explicitly asked for. All countries are tied together by international specialization and trade,however so global developments will hit us as well.
In a hundred-year perspective, resources will notnecessarily run out. Technology will help, and the price mechanism will make some factors too expensive sothat the poorest will go without. This in turn means that overuse and environmental damage can give rise tosocial unrest.
2-1-2
Consumption needs to be channeled to labour-and skills-intensive rather than resource-intensive goods andservices. Some can be done by individuals, much must be done by local authorities, countries and countries
acting together.
Examples of collective action: installation of more resource effective infrastructure,
introduction of greener taxes and charges. Less tax on labour and services which we do want, correspondingly
more tax on environmental burdens which one does not want.

Population growth multiplied by direct and indirect consumption remains a major global challenge. Japans
preparations and experience with a society with fewer people can set an example for others on how a softlanding can be managed.

I think moving towards economic 'degrowth', specially in overdeloped countries (those who consume the most)is a must. That implies adapting to live within the physical and biological boundaries of the Planet or livingwith less material facilities (objects) and reduced consumption for a reasonable material well-being. Anotherdesirable step forward would be decoupling economic growth from the consumption of natural resources andthe production of waste (achieving sustainable development). Finally, the replacement of misleading economic
indicators to measure contries' success, such as the GDP by other indicators that include social andenvironmental impacts of our activities such as the Human Development Index or the Ecological Footprint arealso much needed.

Fristly: Global Warming Measures are closeing linked to Climate Change. Therefore, from my point of view I
can tick both when ask to fill the doom clock. Climate Change is visible, the global warming measures are theaction to counteract this effect.
In general, the environmental problems are clearly caused by mankind.
Therefore, the question must be addressed: How many people can life on earth without destroying or harm thebasis of the mankind? Here a note: The earth enviroment will change but the earth will survive and renew(but maybe without mankind)as did in the past million years several times.
The mankind must be much
more sensitve to the different timelines: the periode of one human age and the environmental/earth age. The

We need an international program to develop thermal infrared hyperspectral sensors that can detect methane
in the atmosphere down to no less than half a ppm, and image those anomalies to find faults and edges ofcontentinental shelves where methane is leaking out. Then we need an internatioinal program to encouragelarge petroleum companies to drill horizontally and landward of escaping methane to produce the natural gas
normally blocked by methane hydrates so that they cannot escape into the ocean or atmosphere anymore as
the hydrates melt, and use this methane to sell as fuel. It will pay for itself and avoid the acceleration in
global warming that geologists have observed in ice cores and sediment cores from past periods and eons when
there was evidence of methane hydrate melting. We must also stop the burning of coal and replace it withburning of methane, wind energy, and solar energy. Satellite remote sensing needs to be developed for finding
melting methane hydrates and monitoring the subsequent remedial actions (production of methane for fuelthat is normally blocked by impermeable methane hydrates, instead of letting methane escape into the ocean
or air as the methane hydrates melt).
2-2
If we stop burning coal, we also will improve air quality, especially in China and India, which will savehundreds of millions of lives world-wide from lung diseases. Surface water reservoirs must be protected bylowering phosphate input to lakes and rivers, and satellite remote sensing should be used to monitor both theexcess phosphorous and the cyanobacteria that grow in surface reservoirs that have too much phosphorous in
the water. That technology already exists, but is under-utilized.

US impact on global warming measures is significant by both its impact on climate change and by the example

worldwide mitigation measures are less likely to be adopted by other countries. We will continue to see
climate change projections and climate conditions worsen as CO2 levels continue to rise.

I think we must attack on multiple levels--educating students so we eventually have a more climate-literatesociety, encouraging local governments to take action, and conducting local or smaller scale outreach to convey
to adults how climate change and mitigation are important to their situation and geographic area (morepersonalized info and examples). and we must pressure national leaders into acting. We also need tosomehow convey that environmental stewardship is not a drain on the economy--it creates jobs and also
contributes to our economy. So often mitigation is couched as too expensive to enact. Perhaps more economic
research could convince leaders (and the public) that it's too expensive NOT to mitigate. Although I also
realize that research alone will not convince all, and thus, also encourage work to further identify
impediments to public and leadership awareness so these can be addressed.

I do feel that globally, a huge underlying factor (perhaps the main factor?) driving climate change and manyother environmental problems is human population growth. Related to that is the terrible example of very
consumptive lifestyles that first world countries set, and that many developing nations aspire to. Our planetcannot support its current population if everyone consumed like we do in the US. I hope humans eventuallyrealize that fewer people mean better lifestyles for all. And that societies are able to adapt and thrive withshrinking populations and aging populaces, since that is what it will take to slow and reverse the humanpopulation explosion.

Ongoing dependence on fossil fuels will increase pollution and not help address the issues of climate change.
Ultimately post 10 years will lead to an energy crisis. Policies that do not take into account the biodiversity
and environmental importance of the natural environment will keep being implemented for relatively
short-term gains in development etc. Impact upon a wide range of factors in the future including climatechange resilience and food and water security. Also at a more philosophical level, how as a nation can we
preach to other nations to change their practices if we do not take a lead in doing so.
2-1-2
Needs to be a change in energy policy in the UK to seriously develop a mix of energy sources, including
investing in novel ways of saving and generating power. Whilst not popular with many environmental people I
believe nuclear has to be part of this - our society isn't going to regress and will need more energy as it
continues. Fully integrate and ensure sustainable energy, biodiversity and environmental initiatives into
policy rather than the mostly lip service as now. Plan policies for the long-term rather than just to the next
election. Policies to secure food and water at a national level. Need to have a strong voice and push forsimilar cooperation at the European and global level which would be enhanced if we started taking the bravedecisions to change our policy.
2-2
At a global level population increase is probably the most significant problem as this impacts all the otherissues. Very challenging but education and planning by governments is needed. Greater investment inprotecting biodiversity and environment at the global scale including regulating laws and policy. At present it
is woefully underfunded so perhaps unsurprising every major environmental congress ends up being
disappointing in the outcomes. Biodiversity and environmental protection and poverty alleviation arestrongly linked and should be promoted more including enabling food security in the developing world.

2-1-1
The race to resource exploitation and human encroachment into a vanishing natural environment continue
under the foolish imperative of a sustained economic growth within a finite planetary system. A modest
probable deceleration of population growth is nullified by a sharp increase in per capita consumption.
International and national environmental protection policies exist on paper, but when political decisions are
made they still invariably favour short-term economic interests. Public opinion is still insufficiently concerned.
I fear that in 10 years from now we will have reached points of no return in many aspects, including
disappearance of genetic resources, of wild populations and perhaps even of species; losses in ecosystemservices; invasions by alien species; insufficient availability of water and energy resources; finally,
environmentally-related social unrest.
2-1-2
Science and technology are not the main limiting factor. What must change is the political approach toenvironmental stewardship, how to modulate our economies in function of ecosystem maintenance (and not
viceversa, as it is now), and, most importantly, understand the causes underpinning our persistent inability (orunwillingness) to effectively addressing issues which will inevitably affect negatively humanity's future. Action
will require technological and economic innovation, but also and most importantly the most daunting task ofreconnecting people with nature.

how to do best, all our efforts will remain futile unless the problems are addressed at their core with a strong,collective impetus. The need of a course change must be strongly felt by the majority of humans, and people
must demand and obtain from the politicians they elected that the relationship between economy and ecology
be reversed, by placing the former at the service of the latter instead than the opposite.

New plans for increasing and promoting urbanisation levels are coming -theway to solve the crisis-, while legislation has been relaxed again to allow building and urbanistic developmentof coastal and other-types of areas. Besides, as a consequence of 'suppossed' economical crissis, it seems
everything is being allowed to do (e.g. re-opening- closes mines for which the closing was based on
environmental hazards)

reduced level of education (on the average) in understanding how important environment is for their lifes-the discuss about environmental issues has been taken by large companies and governments, handling-manipulating- concepts, processes and official figures.

1-It is essential to change the system in which politicians are selected and it is essential to regulate their jobs

2-It is essential to regulate the activity of environmental (national,. local and regional) ministries in Spain
under a common prisma, and to follow up closely, but also to unlink them from politicians decissions. The main
problem is that politicians are continuously taking decissions against technical and scientific advises, andwithout suffering the consequences of their decissions. They take the decissions thinking about theirselves andthe party. Just an example: to build a golf-yard or a building in a coastal or forest area is just a matter ofchanging the 'legal land use allowed for the area' and then to approbe it by the local/regional votation. 3-It isessential to provide with international funds the conservation of biodiversity and to strength up theinternational pressure for achieving conservation tasks. It is not admisible to destroy thousands ofkilometers of coastalline for urbanisation for tourism. It is not only a national responsibility, it is also a
responsibility for those who come. Public Administration cannot preserve environment nor to raiseawareness with no fund. And the politicians and enterprenur have no capacity to design appropriate effectiveplans to warrant medium and long term conservation of resources. Besides, they, the main power of societies,
who have in fact the decission capability, they havent 'green' mentality at all, and consequently they havenever been interested in preserving environment, assuming that preserving environment is opposite toeconomical benefits.

2-1-1
De-personalization and the building of large conglomerates has shifted responsibility and accountability fromindividuals to corporations over the recent years - a process that is still continuing. Corporations do not growan (environmental) consciousness that breeds responsibility. If no measures are implemented to build a legal
framework that ensures true corporate responsibility and accountability, large (global) corporations willcontinue to do as they please and put profit before the environment. This will lead to unsustainable increases
in the global production machineries of goods leading to dwindling resources / raw materials as well as adeterioration of the quality of foodstuffs and the exploitation of people (specifically development countries) andfellow beings (specifically animals i.e. factory farming etc.). While conditions are bad already, they are bound toworsen considerably over the next 10 years if no changes will be made. Ultimately, with 11 billion people by
2050, if no greening of the economy has taken place and if corporate responsibility has not been established asa standard corporate procedure / trait, it will be impossible to keep up the current living standards in Western
Europe or accommodate the aspiring developing societies that covet the European living standard. Resource
depletion and civil unrest are pre-programmed.
2-1-2
While, paticularly im Central Europe, environmental consciousness in individuals has significantly increased
over the past two decades and a number of measures have been implemented to green companies/factories, thelevel of consciousness and responsibility needed has not been reached, not by the majority of the individuals
and certainly not by a relevant proportion of global corporate players.
Returning responsibility as well as
accountability into the corporate landscape and greening the economy are of key importance to prevent
societal collapse in the future. In my opinion, two strategies are of key important:
1) Short-term measures
including stricter environmental laws for corporations, increased environmental taxes, an improvement of the
carbon credit trade and compulsory responsibility schemes for companies above a specific size (in addition, thedisbursement of ridiculously high bonuses to managers needs to be forbidden and the income disparity
between poor and rich people in general needs to be addressed).
2) As in many other contexts, the mostimportant measure is most likely a significant improvment of the established educational systems. Education
focused on facts, without emotion and an appropriate ethical/philosophical context, creates leaders with a lackof empathy and incapable of seeing the bigger picture (specifically the potential environmental deterioraton
caused by their actions). The educationl system needs to inspire people to develop a self (and the ability ofcritical thinking) rather than to follow others and be complacent about important political decisions. It needs
to teach that everyone is part of the picture, and that together a difference CAN be made. In this context, it isworth mentioning that religious education, for example, is the task of a religious and not a government
institution/school - in current school curricula it should be replaced by ethics education.

Overriding economic forces are creating greater socioeconomic inequality (the gap between the rich and poor iswidening at an alarming rate) resulting in the lower socioeconomic classes being in the situation that concern

degradation. This is sanctioned by current Government economic and environmental policies.

Though there are baby steps beginning to be taken by the Iraqi government and it's independent Kurdistan
region, there is a great chance of losing a great portion of the natural habitat that we have. Due to thecontinuous wars and conflict within the country, there still hasn't been strong agenda and plans on theprotection and conservation of the environment and this has led to neglection on the environment andsignificantly decreased the knowledge and awareness of the people towards the environment and the wildlife.
THe government is busy digging for oil and the oil companies and illegal pipelines are increasing without
proper measurements to be taken by the government. We are already seeing the country's and the region's
environment being deteriorated by these actions and if neglected the loss of the natural habitat would be great.
On the bright side of these, the awareness of the people are just starting to increase towards the protection of
the wildlife and more people are getting interest in working in the environmental field and the universities arealso increasing interest in this field.

UK E7862-1-1Over the last decade, LINK members have become increasingly aware of the importance of engaging ineconomic debates as environmental objectives and concerns have often been sidelined by economic policies.
LINK members aim to address the primacy that is afforded to economic growth and its key indicator, GDP. We
are concerned that if economic benefits and growth are priorities over environmental, social and wellbeing
ones that environmental consequences will worsen and reach a point of no return or mitigation, both in
Scotland and gloabbly. In Scotland if priorities is given to fossil fuel extraction and unconventional gas rather
than renewables this will cause significant emissions for global climate change resulting in sea level rises
abroad and at home and cause much damage to our natural landscape and health concerns to local
communities. If climate change worsens in Scotland and globally, Scotland's biodiversity (already muchthreatened) will continue to deteriorate and become extinct. Finally there are already concerns about air
pollution and increased carbon emissions will only make this worse with more concerns on community health.
2-1-2Some believe that we can carry on in exactly the same way as always, and continue to exploit the resources ofthe biosphere with no regard to the consequences. Governments are fearful of taking radical steps required tochange the patterns and pace of economic and social development. Our establishment seems trapped into
thinking that only infinite economic growth can be accounted as success and that stability would be a failure.
[376]

Relentless pursuit of increasing GDP is the orthodox position, but does sticking the word 'sustainable' in frontof 'economic growth' mean we have become respecters of environmental limits? 'Sustainable development' isabout all forms of development - economic, social and environmental. Growth may or may not play a part in allof this development. 'Sustainable economic growth' is, on the other hand, fundamentally about economic
growth. mSticking the word sustainable in front of it can't disguise the difference. You can sustain economic
growth all you want, but if it's not within safe environmental limits it is, be definition, not sustainable
development. Fortunately there exists a brillant opportunity to untangle this mess. The updating of theScottish Government's NPF offers a way forward. It continues the lauadb;e job of offering a comphrehensive
and integrated policy framework for Scotland and offers the opportunity to spell out that development must be
genuiely sustainable, with economic growth accomodated within this framework. Other countries if thisopportunity is available to them should seek to do the same to avoid 'business-as-usual'. Scottish Government’s

Having a right-wing government does not help: the junior part being socialist doesn't have an environmental
agenda to speak of but the major part is anti-environment. Our best help and solution comes from the
Directives by the European Union but the Union is not good enough in taking a lead in the propaganda war
against Euroscepticsthat lean toward the interests of big industry. Moreover, in the propaganda wars
AGAINST climate change there is an unholy alliance by fundamentalist Christians (anti-evolutionists),
right-wing American influence, and this spills over into making science questionable. Food crises,
environmental crises, pollution crises can ONLY be tackled if we take science very seriously and influence thepublic with the right attitude. The environment AND nature will lose in a Eurosceptic, right-wing politicalclimate where big industry, big finance, and ant-science mentality flourishes.

The levels of apathy and complacency towards all our environmental concerns/issues is staggering; this covers
climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, etc., etc. Without society's support, which would come if improved
knowledge and understanding were delivered to the populace (especially to our children at schools) anddecision making encouraged at the societal level, rather than in the hands of a few individuals concerned witheconomic indicators, this situation would improve. Without such actions the world's decline will only speed
up, ultimately, one presumes until such a massive event happens that breaks current mentalities (one could
argue that climate change has already reached this point?).
2-1-2
A much greater emphasis needs to be put on / given to educating the whole population about our actions;especially getting people to understand their personal impacts, from what they buy in shops and the use ofnatural resources in providing those items, to what they throw away and how it affects the environment. In
this age of a global society, this needs to be educated to all, and businesses legislated to show the 'full' (implicit
and explicit costs - financial and environmental) to consumers.

A global education syllabus needs to be developed that educates all, especially the young - the future decision
makers, about the role people play in the world and how they can alter their habits to 'help' the current trends.
Whilst climate change will probably, again, top your charts, this is because it has impacted and been reported
the most and is currently most topical. However, people do not tend to connect their everyday lives withfactors that exacerbate climate change or other environmental concerns; be it alien species, water resource use,
pollution and the impacts that these issues have on our own livelihoods. Until people are educated andsystems in place to monitor such factors across local, country and global scales we shall never get to address

AUSTRALIA E347
2-1-1
In 10 years from now Australia will be urbanised with significant nature deficit in children, larger cities thatare divorced from living in, and, with the Australian landscape which will make society as a whole
disconnected with the natural world. This will put pressure on the need for larger mass farms for food,exacerbate further regional declines, more pressure for water for people not nature, more roads, moredevelopment footprint / expansion and greater conflict with nature especially. However, costs will increase
with the demand for more resources and the divide between rich and poor people will be substantial. Caring
for nature will fall low on the social barometer with people struggling to care for their families. As development
encroaches forested fringe areas of capital cities greater conflict will occur especially bushfires leading to moreland clearing and inappropriate fire regimes. I foresee an anthropocentric society.
2-1-2Stopping tax benefits and government investment in carbon based industries (I.e. Mining, fuel, coal power)
and redirecting these incentives to the renewable energy sector. Improve labour markets in Australia byincreasing import tariffs, protecting and providing incentives to locally based manufacturing to keep jobs inregional areas which will contribute to preventing greater urbanisation and keep people connected to morenatural areas. Greater investment in public transport networks to allow people to live in regional areas not
become more urbanised. Having tough decisions with society to take greater responsibility for themselves, livewith nature not fight against it and understand bushfires will never be stopped. Redirecting genuine andappropriate public resources to reverse the decline in biodiversity. Providing tax incentives for greater
philanthropic investment in biodiversity.

To my opinion the worst enemy of the environment is the lack of democracy which produces poverty throughthe violent redistribution of income. Poverty in its turn provokes the overexploitation of natural resources. The
financial crisis in Greece has turned the country into a third-world fail-state having primarily a devastating
effect on the environment. To my knowledge and experience environmental legislation and policy are viewed
as an obstacle to financial growth and have been relaxed (I would say demolished) aiming to the facilitation oflarge-scale investments (e.g. gold mining, industrial renewable energy sources, mass tourism etc). Investing in
Greece has resulted in severe land use changes altering the rural Mediterranean landscape and the
traditional small-scale farming practices that have benefitted wildlife for thousands of years.

Environmental-friendly legislation must be reviewed and updated. Nature conservation must be statutory

There is one truly global societal trend, namely that economic growth is the only way to improve lives andlivelihoods. This is considered a truth throughout all layers in all societies. While true in poorer countries, thisbelieve is completely false in richer countries. There we see people experiencing more and more pressure
every year to improve their economic situation. But while their income is growing, their welfare (their health,their contact with friends and family and their ability to enjoy free time) is decreasing. To compensate thisand to deal with the ever increasing stress, people tend to consume more and more. This vicious circle resultsto ever more pressure on the environment, and we need to break this trend by showing and stimulating people
that welfare is more important than wealth. Because the environmental pressure from this vicious circle ishitting poorer countries hardest, in 10 years they will feel the results of degradation of ecosystems the most.

Governments need to think more long-term, steering away from the mantra of economic growth and steering

4. New capitalism-society based on growth and competition destroys not only the environment and the earth
but also human lives radically. It is a very time to change the system. The society should guarantee thepublic’s happiness and safety.
In my opinion, we already went over a critical point for the environment. Therefore, we cannot delay anymore.

The global economic crisis is not over and, in the Korean society, neo-liberalism is much more spreading
because the Korean economic system has high foreign dependent. If the situation continues, environmental
issue will be subordinated to commercial interest.
2-1-2
Environmental issues should be dealt with in the process of decision making, not as a post management.
Especially, a role of media is important to inform the public of the importance of the environment. Critical
discourse of neo-liberalism should come with environmental issues.
2-2
In South Korea, nearly all people rarely acknowledge the environment. They only thought of it as specificissues such as eating organic food or using environmental friendly product. If we put our all interest into suchmaterial things, the environmental problem will be much more serious.
What is the reason of such phenomenon? Wrong education and social attitude lead to such phenomenon. When
LOHAS(Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability) were brought to South Korea, it weren’t considered as anenvironmental activity. The enterprises only use it as a marketing strategy to sell environmental-friend foodand the media also accept such image.
Also, in South Korea, the destruction of the environment has been accepted with an excuse of ‘confidential
business information’. The society even neglects safety issue for profit. In this situation, it is not strange tounderestimate the value of the environment.

First, ban the extraction of uranium mining worldwide. Second, commence the lengthy and dangerous
decommissioning process of all nuclear power reactors worldwide and replace with renewables. Fourth,
explore more scientific progress to vender radioactive waste, non-reactive.

According to the WHO 80-90 % of all cancer worldwide is environmentally caused. We must cease bringing
more uranium into the environment of creative, any more isotopes like plutonium. Also pesticides, GMO,
medical waste, oil and gas waste, fracking tar sands and many other topics need to be added to your survey.

Once having selected ONLY the defense stance (mitigation, adapation, walls by the seashore to block sea level
rise etc) Humanity will face bigger and bigger problems; once extreme weather events and disasters increase
exponentially in number and size financial, energy, political and social crises will grow accordingly. Average
citizen will not be able to live a normal life and once a tempest reigns its mind will act accordingly.

Sustainable Development large scale applications in local communities is the only way to face environmental
turbulence anthropocentric activities have caused. Green economy market generating new businesses with acause under the umbrella of Sustainable Development principles will bring solutions to global structuralproblems e.g. unemployment, poverty. Accompanied of course by voluntary simplicity and slowing down
traditional growth's rythm.

A global compact among traditional and new production models (industrial & post-industrial has to be agreed
ASAP with the shortest transition period possible. Advertising industry could turn from selling trash products
to people has creative things to do for more than a century e.g.convince & persuade millions of citizens tochange consumption habits. A global UN initiative has to follow UNESCO Sustainable Education Decade witha 10-year content Sustainable Way of Thinking - Free Innovation Spirit for Prosperity. The only resource NOT
in scarcity nowadays is ideas; everything else (earth time, vital space, real money etc) we are short of - but
humans, but this latter will be arranged by itself once mind start working alternatively.

Capitalism and its required partner, consumerism, will continue to deplete the world resources and pollute thesoils, waters, atmosphere. The need for resources will continue leading to invasions, wars and other humancreated atrocities. The erosion of values to serve the bottome line will continue to a point where it will destroy
the society and those of us that are part of it. It will also lead the the extinction of countless species andunspeakable environmental degradation.
2-1-2
We need to think freely on an alternative economic system that is truy sustainable and humane. The laws ofnature need to be abided by, because they are inchangeable. The laws of economics, on the other hand, were
invented by people and we can change them as much as we want. The problme is such that little measure will
not produce any restult. We need a change from the base, changing completely the fundamentals in which webase our economy and society.
2-2
The link between capitalism and all human atrocities cannot be denied. We need to start a discussion that isboth free and honest about the different alternatives we have. It worries me that even the most enlighted
environmentalist are not talking about real changes that will produce real solutions.

The environmental deterioration in Syria is obvious because the ongoing war since three years: 1. Many
natural reserves have been destroyed /abandoned. 2. Many wild roosting/reproduction sites have been lost,
such as the breeding sites of the most critically endangered species (Northern Bald Ibis: Geronticus eremita )3. Many reintroduction programs have been affected. the herd of Arabian Oryx: Oryx leucorix ,in AlTalila
reserve (about 147 animal/ 2009 report) was partially lost. a large herd of Gazella subgutturos has been
partially lost in the same reserve. 4. Many underground bats' roosting and reproduction sites have been lost,and became as shelters for people. 5. Many parts of the national forests were lost because of the war; people
use wood for heating, cocking, and for building temporary shelters. also forests are suffering fairs due tobombing. 6. Many scientific institutions involved in conservation have been lost. The situation in Syria is[395]beyond imagination, and the environmental crises would be the main challenge for the country, the region andthe entire world in the future; since the geographic location of the country as a cross point between the oldthree continents (Asia, Europe and Africa.

Potentially devastating pollution incidents in an extremely sensitive enivironment. Even if this does not occur- the pouring of government money into fracking operations lessens the drive to fund vital research into energy
alternatives.
2-1-2
The governemt, education establishments and major industries need to educate the public as to the real
dangers of fracking in a very small country like northern ireland. A spokespersion for pardee Industries has
already expressed scepticism that the operation will produce a viable energy source in the long term and the
public need to know this.

In South Korea, land density of nuclear power plant is the 1th ranking in the world. If the design life of old
nuclear power plant is expanded, public would live under the threat of the accident. Also, a safety problem ofradioactive wastes disposal facilities in Gyeongju isn’t opened to the public and won’t be in the future.
Dangerous food affected by radioactive pollution will threat health of children.
2-1-2
Like Germany, citizen should actively participate in social activities by themselves. Citizen should argue thatthey will not use electricity produced by nuclear power plant, even though electricity cost be increased. Also,
citizen can support a politician who maintains anti-nuclear power policy, construct small-sized solar power
facilities in house, and demonstrate problems of industrial electricity. If the citizen does nothing, the nuclear
power plant accident such as the Fukushima accident would be occurred in South Korea.
2-2
Environmental problem is a global issue, an Asian issue and a South Korea issue. Also, it is related with myfamilies, my friends and me. People do not think it as their problems even though they know that it is a very
danerous problme. The citizen should participate in activities to solve the environmental problems bythemselves.

Nuclear power plant accident is an irrevocable disaster. Once it occurs, the Earth become a land of death and it
will continue for centuries. I think it can result in the fall of humankind.
2-1-2
The government should establish a direct and comprehensive nuclear power plant safety policy for preventing
nuclear power plant accidents. Also, a pan-national association should be organized for taking acountermeasure and promotion on hazard of nuclear power plants. Finally, the shutdown policy for nuclear
power plants should be established and executed.
2-2
Above any other strategies and policies, the government and environmental groups should put its priority on
shutdown of nuclear power plants and on establishing a new policy for alternative energy.

I consider that there is currently a multidimensional relationship in terms of the loss of biodiversity, firstly
through the increase in contaminants, secondly through the reduction of hydric resources, thirdly through theanthropogenic pressure on those rare species that were very difficult to access in the past, but that are now
very easy to access, even in extraordinarily inaccessible environments. If we conserve biodiversity, we willconserve the balance that provides stability to the ecosystems, and we will therefore be able to survive. But if
we continue as we have up until now, our access to resources will definitely become more limited.
