The big global environmental issues we need to resolve by

2030

 1 Air poluation-The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 90% of humanity breathes
polluted air, so is calling for a reduction in air pollution to plant trees and plants, thus preventing SEVEN
MILLiON DEATHS PER YEAR.
 2 Climate change- Unfortunately, there's now too much carbon in the air. Burning of fossil fuels,
deforestation for agriculture, and industrial activities have pushed up atmospheric CO2 wich will lead to
melting glaciers.
 3 Deforestation- Species-rich wild forests ARE BEING DESTROYED, especially in the tropics, often to
make way for cattle other platations.
 4 Overpopulation- Problem: Human population continues to grow rapidly worldwide. Humanity entered
the 20th century with 1.6 billion people; right now, we're about 7.5 billion,THIS CAN LEAD TO LACK
OF OXYGEN AND FOOD.
