The Responses To Desertification, Deforestation And Climate Change Vary Depending On A Country's Level Of Development
Overzicht
Knowing what is going wrong is the easy half. The harder question is what a country can actually do about it, and the answer depends heavily on what that country can afford, what it can enforce and what it is willing to give up. A response that works in a high-income country with reliable electricity may be useless in a village with no grid connection.
This lesson covers three responses in turn: the technologies that ease water shortage in drylands, the approaches used to manage the Amazon rainforest more sustainably, and the different things individuals, organisations and governments are doing about climate change in the United Kingdom and in India. Throughout, the assessment question is the same: does it work, who pays and can it be sustained?
