 According to current estimates, there are about 7.5 billion people on the planet. Every

day, approximately 300,000 infants are born, and over 150,000 people die as a result of this.

These figures are used to determine if a nation belongs to the first, second, or third world. The

UN created this classification in the late 1940s, during the height of the Cold War. Countries in

the "First World" are industrialized, capitalist nations with excellent living standards and long

life expectancies. Third world nations are the least developed, whereas second world countries

are more developed. They are often industrialized to some extent, but their regimes are

communist or dictat-style. The nations of the "Third World" are the polar opposite of the

countries of the "First World". Developing countries are more dependent on industrialized

countries due to greater infant mortality and poverty rates as well as poor economic growth. The

experiment's goal was to learn how people have changed their surroundings by looking at nations

in the first, second, and third worlds. Procedure/Materials: To get things started, each student had

to choose two nations from each of four global regions. The United States and the United

Kingdom were utilized in this experiment.

Because it provides favorable conditions for relaxation and carrying out activities, the

environment and nature are intimately connected to human beings. However, numerous human

activities that threaten the environment's survival are degrading it right now. When it comes to

environmental degradation, I believe I know what it includes, such as the drying up of water

sources like lakes, rivers, and even dams. Environmental issues have contributed to the deaths of

both wild and domesticated animals, at least according to what I've read. In particular, I'm aware

that hazardous human actions like tree-felling and clearing the forest for human habitation have a

significant impact on wild animals. Beyond the impact on animals and plants, I believe we also

know that the deterioration of nature, which supplies them with food and a suitable environment
in which to rest and play, has a significant impact on human health. In particular, my knowledge

of the environment is based on observations I've made, lessons I've received in school, and

involvement in environmental groups.

Those in charge of evaluating development permit applications, granting or refusing

permission, and inspecting construction are tasked with the enormous task of making sure the

issues previously mentioned don't occur. Buildings must be structurally sound and not endanger

the safety or lives of those who live in or use them, and they must be provided with the basic

services and facilities necessary to support the purpose for which they were erected. They must

also ensure that Antigua and Barbuda's environment and natural resources are managed carefully

and prudently for the enjoyment of present and future generations, as well.

Biodiversity and ecosystems will benefit significantly in the future if environmental

sustainability can be realized. Because of this, the environment will have a greater diversity of

species and genes. Evolution and biogeochemical cycles are made simpler in an ecosystem

because of the greater number of genes and species present. Reusing and recycling waste will be

taught so that humans and the environment may coexist peacefully in the years to come.

Sustainable environments preserve endangered species so they may continue to exist for a long

time. Even in the face of external pressure, biodiversity and ecosystems as a whole will continue

to operate and retain their structure for a long time.

Urban freight transportation has a number of negative social, environmental, and

economic effects that policymakers may attempt to address. Congestion on the roads, local air

pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, noise pollution, and safety are only a few examples of these

problems. Policymakers may adopt a number of measures aimed at altering urban freight
operations in an effort to minimize the severity of these negative consequences. Others may

handle a number of issues at once, while others will focus on just one.

Rapid urbanization is straining natural resources and posing a danger to environmental

quality in many nations as well as rising living levels. Most of the world's high, middle, and low

income regions all have record-high population densities.

Individual consumption may always be reduced without having a significant impact on

population growth, since population expansion always pushes the consequences to a higher

plateau. Long-term environmental sustainability necessitates taking action on both fronts at the

same time. The advantages of a stable or decreasing population for sustainability cannot be

ignored for long.

So to summarize, there are generally two methods to environmental improvement:

investing in "stand-alone" environmental projects and trying to ‘mainstream' environmental

issues across all development operations. Most people believe that ‘mainstreaming' is more

essential in the end. At least in the early phases of mainstreaming, the environmental agenda is

defined in terms of minimizing the environmental effects of development in both urban and rural

regions. A cross-cutting environmental objective is frequently stated as "protection" or

"prevention" in urban settings because of these three factors. The local environmental concerns

that are of special concern to the urban poor may readily be overshadowed by such a distraction.
