Urgent help!! Project: Global Issues: The Future We Want?
Assignment Directions:
Part A:

The following three paragraphs are from the document "The Future We Want." It was the end result of Rio + 20, the June 2012 United Nations (UN) Conference on Sustainable Development, held twenty years after the Earth Summit was held in 1992, also in Rio de Janeiro:

88. We are committed to strengthening the role of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.

89. We recognize the significant contributions to sustainable development made by the multilateral environmental agreements. We acknowledge the work already undertaken to enhance synergies among the three conventions in the chemicals and waste cluster (the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade and the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants). We encourage parties to multilateral environmental agreements to consider further measures, in these and other clusters, as appropriate, to promote policy coherence at all relevant levels, improve efficiency, reduce unnecessary overlap and duplication, and enhance coordination and cooperation among the multilateral environmental agreements, including the three Rio conventions, as well as with the United Nations system in the field.

90. We stress the need for the continuation of a regular review of the state of the Earth's changing environment and its impact on human well-being and, in this regard, we welcome such initiatives as the Global Environment Outlook process aimed at bringing together environmental information and assessments and building national and regional capacity to support informed decision-making.

What is the future that you want? Explain in four to five paragraphs what you would like to see countries commit to in a "Global Commitment Plan for the Environment." Be sure to mention what the role of the US would be in this plan and the role of the business sector.
Part B: Global Warming

Research global warming by visiting at least three news websites and learning about topics such as greenhouse gas rules, the impact of global warming on impoverished people, and what might happen if global warming falls off the international agenda.
What are your thoughts on global warming? Why might some support this theory? Why might others not support it? Does the government play a role in reducing global warming? What about businesses and companies? Answer these questions in four to five paragraphs, and if you refer to certain facts or figures or different articles, be sure to cite them.
