How Does Globalization Drive Climate, Environmental Change and affect human well-being?

Awareness

Laws

The increased globalization has allowed for new laws to be created that limit negative effects.

Economic Balance

Business Adaptability

More businesses and companies are looking to use more sustainable and eco-friendly energy sources.

Connectivity

International travel allows individuals to experience and see the varying conditions around the world.

Transportation of Goods

Sound Pollution

Transportation leads to great amounts of sound pollution that can lead to adverse health effects such as hypertension or asthma.

Invasive Species

Species can be transported unintentionally and cause a change in the natural ecosystem. Ex. Fungi, Plants and Animals.

Habitat Destruction

Transportation requires infrastructure such as buildings and roads, which leads to habits being destroyed for land.

Emissions

More fuel is required to transport products further and thus more greenhouse gases are released.

Standard of Living

Technology

Products

Economic Specialization

Illegal Activity

Land striping used to create more area for development.

Overfishing

In coastal regions fish populations have decreased and oceanic pollution has increased.

Economic Strength

Countries and regions can use trading partners for goods they don’t produce themselves.

Biodiversity

Species Population

68% of all organisms have decreased since 1970 due to globalization.

Ocean Acidification

Alters marine food chains and food supply to humans.

Deforestation

Leads to desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, and increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Causes climate change by trapping heat. This affects various species especially in arid climates
