Global Environment Assignment 3

Environmental and Societal Change Regions 1


Complete the Assignment portion prior to your third link with each partner. Add the
reflection after the third link with each partner.

Goal: Students should be able to identify and explain key decisions and events that led to
current environmental conditions in their partner’s ecosystem (area of interest).
Assignment:
1. Refresh your previous knowledge about your partner’s ecosystem (refer back to what
you prepared in assignment 1 informed by new information you now have from
working with your partners).
2. Try to find answers and provide support for the next questions. Provide your findings
in a brief response to each point below (a – d):
a. Are natural conditions favorable for reaching the selected UNSDG and each of
the targets? Go systematically through the following elements: Landform &
geology, climate & water, and biota (vegetation and animal population)
b. Is the demographic situation favorable for reaching the goal? Pay attention to
trends (changes) in population numbers as well as cultural behavior, especially
behavior that is relevant to the environment.
c. Does the local/regional/national economy support sustainable development?
Pay attention to recent changes in economic development, especially regarding
the environment. For instance, are there new mines being developed in the
area? Fish farms? Industrial chemical plants?
d. Can environmental legislation and practices of law enforcement adequately
support sustainable development? To find material, have a look at the
international conventions and legislative activities at the official websites of
the Ministry of Environment, state/province agencies, etc. as well as at the
websites of NGOs and international organizations.
3. Summarize your findings in a paragraph and be prepared to take part in the
discussion.

Reflection:
After the discussion, identify the commonalities and differences between the partner
countries and the main factors that you think lead to those commonalities and differences.

Note: You will need the information you find to complete this assignment for assignment
number 4 as well.
