Geopolitics: Is the study of the effects of Earth's geography (human and physical)
on politics and international relations. While geopolitics usually refers to countries and relations
between them, it may also focus on two other kinds of states: de facto independent states
with limited international recognition and relations between sub-national geopolitical entities,
such as the federated states that make up a federation, confederation or a quasi-federal system.
At the level of international relations, geopolitics is a method of studying foreign policy to
understand, explain and predict international political behavior through geographical variables.
These include area studies, climate, topography, demography, natural resources, and applied
science of the region being evaluated.
Climate change: Occurs when changes in Earth's climate system result in new weather patterns
that remain in place for an extended period of time. This length of time can be as short as a few
decades to as long as millions of years. Scientists have identified many episodes of climate
change during Earth's geological history; more recently since the industrial revolution the
climate has increasingly been affected by human activities driving global warming, and the terms
are commonly used interchangeably in that context.
Sustainabe development: sustainability is the development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations, guaranteeing the balance between
economic growth, environmental care and social welfar.
