Assignment 1 – The Impact of Climate Change on Population Growth and Food Security (220 points)
The United Nations has hired you as a consultant, and your task is to assess the impact that global warming is expected to have on population growth and the ability of societies in the developing world to ensure the adequate security of their food supplies.
Case Assessment
As the world’s population nears 10 billion by 2050, the effects of global warming are stripping some natural resources from the environment. As they diminish in number, developing countries, in particular, will face mounting obstacles to improving the livelihoods of their citizens and stabilizing their access to sufficient amounts of food. The reason these governments are struggling even now is that our climate influences their economic health and the consequent diminishing living standards of their peoples. Indeed, climate changes are responsible for the current loss of biodiversity as well as the physical access to some critical farming regions. As such, these changes in global weather patterns diminish agricultural output and the distribution of food to local and international markets. These difficulties will become even more significant for these countries as the Earth’s climate changes for the worse, because temperatures are already increasing incrementally and polar ice caps are melting, so the salient question is: what does this suggest for developing societies?
The issue before the developing world is not its lack of food, but rather how to gain access to it. Simply put, changes in our climate are affecting the global food chain, and hence, the living standards of entire populations. Added to this is the fact that food is not getting to where it is needed in time to prevent hunger or starvation, and in many developing countries, shortages are due to governments’ control over distribution networks rather than an insufficient supply of food itself. In effect, these governments are weaponizing food by favoring certain ethnic or religious groups over others, so when added to dramatic climate changes that we are experiencing even now, the future for billions of poor people looks increasingly dim.
