VI – PRE – ASSESSMENT: Answer the following questions briefly.

1.How sustainable development be given emphasis in today’s living?

- Three basic components of sustainable development have been highlighted: environmental, social, and
economic. Giving people what they want without sacrificing quality of life is what development is all
about. As a result, sustainable development acknowledges that growth must be both equitable and
environmentally sound in order to minimize poverty and create shared wealth for today’s and future
generations. It is efficient with resources and carefully planned to developed both immediate and long –
term benefits for people and prosperity.

2. Why there is a need of a food security?

-To decreases the ability of countries to develop their agricultural markets and economies. Food security
is very important to ensure that everyone has enough to eat and families can build their communities
without worrying about securing their live. Also, it is critical for any economy, as a country’s population
cannot advance if it is food insecure. People who are insecure about their food would be fit and willing
to work hard.

3. What is the role of the citizens in shaping the world globally?

- A global citizen is someone who is conscious of and respects their position in the world. They
participate actively in their communities and collaborate with others to make our country more
peaceful, healthy, humane, diverse, and equitable. Let us work to improve our own understanding in
order to live in a more peaceful world. Everybody has the right to a healthy, clean and safe environment.
Everybody has the right to a healthy, clean and safe environment.
Task 16: Look in the web a model of global sustainability. Cut and paste the model, then analyze it.

Green growth means fostering economic growth and development while ensuring that natural assets continue to
provide the resources and environmental services on which our well-being relies. To do this it must catalyze
investment and innovation which will underpin sustained growth and give rise to new economic opportunities.
Green growth is not a replacement for sustainable development. Rather, it provides a practical and flexible
approach for achieving concrete, measurable progress across its economic and environmental pillars, while taking
full account of the social consequences of greening the growth dynamic of economies. The focus of green growth
strategies is ensuring that natural assets can deliver their full economic potential on a sustainable basis. That
potential includes the provision of critical life support services – clean air and water, and the resilient biodiversity
needed to support food production and human health. Natural assets are not infinitely substitutable and green
growth policies take account of that.
Green growth policies are an integral part of the structural reforms needed to foster strong, more sustainable and
inclusive growth. They can unlock new growth engines by:

➢ Enhancing productivity by creating incentives for greater efficiency in the use of natural resources,
reducing waste and energy consumption, unlocking opportunities for innovation and value creation, and
allocating resources to the highest value use.

➢ Boosting investor confidence through greater predictability in how governments deal with major
environmental issues.

➢ Opening up new markets by stimulating demand for green goods, services and technologies.

➢ Contributing to fiscal consolidation by mobilizing revenues through green taxes and through the
elimination of environmentally harmful subsidies. These measures can also help to generate or free up
resources for anti-poverty programmers in such areas as water supply and sanitation, or other pro-poor
investments.

➢ Reducing risks of negative shocks to growth due to resource bottlenecks, as well as damaging and
potentially irreversible environmental impacts.

Strategies for greener growth need to be tailored to fit specific country circumstances. They will need to carefully
consider how to manage any potential trade-offs and best exploit the synergies between green growth and
poverty reduction.

VIII – SELF- EVALUATION:

Explain the link between climate change and the global economic crisis.

Climate Change and Global Economic Crisis has an interconnectedness to each other. The changing of
climate may give changes also to the whole word which gives suffering to the human existing and so as
the future or the upcoming generation.

Climate change is a term that defines the global phenomenon of climate transformation characterized
by the changes in the usual climate of the planet regarding temperature, precipitation, and wind that
are especially caused by human activities. Due to the climate change, people do suffer a lot in their
health, their habitat or surroundings and their livelihood.

As climate change bringing an impact to the human it also give impact to the living of our society, to our
country and if not resolve may give impact also into the global world like the Global Economic Crisis.

The global economic crisis was caused by the coming together of several structural as well as business
cycle factors that conspired to produce a “perfect storm” of epic proportions. The businesses will be
suffered difficulties if there is climate change due to its effect to the location or processing of products
in industries.
POST TEST

1. Is degrowth a feasible alternative to capitalist globalization?

- Yes, capitalist globalization is possible because it allows for a gradual transition to a stationary
