How They Can be Addressed”

PRESENTED BY: Jacqueline B. marilao

The top 10 global issues and how they can
be addressed
1. Climate Change

The global temperatures are rising, and are

estimated to increase from 2.6 degrees
Celsius to 4.8 degrees Celsius by 2100. This
would cause more severe weather, crises with
food and resources and the spread of
diseases.

The reduction of greenhouse emissions and

the spreading of education on the importance
of going green can help make a big difference.
Lobbying governments and discussing
policies to reduce carbon emissions and
encouraging reforestation is an effective way
of making progress with climate change.
 pollution

Pollution includes ocean litter,

pesticides and fertilizers, air, light
and noise pollution. Clean water
is essential for humans and
animals, but more than one
billion people don't have access
to clean water due to pollution
from toxic substances, sewage or
industrial waste.
 Violence

Violence can be found in the social,

cultural and economic aspects of the
world. Whether it is conflict that has
broken out in a city, hatred targeted at a
certain group of people or sexual
harassment occurring on the street,
violence is a preventable problem that
has been an issue for longer than
necessary.

Various forms of VIOLENCE

s.
Physical violence: occurs when
someone uses apart of their body or an
object to control a persons actions.
sexual violence: occurs when a person
is force to unwillingly take apart in
sexual activity.

Emotional violence: occur when

someone says or does something
make a person feel stupid or
worthless.

psychological violence: occurs when

individual to gain control.
 Spiritual( or religious) violence:
occurs when someone uses an
individual spiritual beliefs to
manipulate, dominate or control that
person.

Cultural violence: occurs when an

individual is harmed as a result of
practices that are part of her or his
culture, religion or tradition.
 Security and well being: The U.N. is a
perfect example of preventing the lack
of security and well being that is a
serious global issue. Through its efforts
with regional organizations and
representatives that are skilled in
security, the U.N. is working toward
increasing the well being of people
throughout the world

Lack of education: More than 72 million

children throughout the globe that are of
the age to be in primary education are not
enrolled in school. This can be attributed to
inequality and marginalization as well as
poverty. Fortunately, there are many
organizations that work directly with the
issue of education in providing the proper
tools and resources to aid schools.
