Discuss worldwide perceived threats to the environment, as well as disparities related to environmental threats.

What will be an ideal response?

Climate change will affect regions very differently. Climate change is already starting to affect some of the poorest and most vulnerable communities around the world, threatening food supplies, coastlines, health, and the survival of countless species. Environmental concerns become a source of tension between groups when developed countries that are able to reduce their sources of emissions are compared with developing countries that are dependent on high emissions to develop their economies. The term ecoimperialism refers to global governance that protects the existing power structure at the expense of poor countries. Fundamentally, ecoimperialism undermines the capacity of people to escape poverty.
