The Top Ten Global and 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.
2. 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

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. Here are various
forms of violence:
-Physical violence occurs when someone uses a part of their body or an object to control a person's actions
-Sexual Violence
Sexual violence occurs when a person is forced to unwillingly take part in sexual activity
-Emotional Violence

worthless.

enough money to buy food and even learn how to make their own food to save money.

terrorists attack innocent people, often without warning. This makes civilians feel defenseless in their everyday
