What does the future of our environment look like?

Besides drought and sea level rise, there are a variety of other likely changes around the world. There might be intense heat waves, increased incidences of infectious and respiratory diseases, changes in ecosystems particularly at high latitudes, and loss of biodiversity just to name a few.

Why is it important to value nature?

Why it’s important that we value nature It underpins our economy, our society, indeed our very existence. Our forests, rivers, oceans and soils provide us with the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we irrigate our crops with. These natural assets are often called the world’s ‘natural capital’.

What happen to our environment now?

Our Mother Earth is currently facing a lot of environmental concerns. The environmental problems like global warming, acid rain, air pollution, urban sprawl, waste disposal, ozone layer depletion, water pollution, climate change and many more affect every human, animal, and nation on this planet.

What is causing climate change?

Human activity is the main cause of climate change. People burn fossil fuels and convert land from forests to agriculture. Burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. It is called a greenhouse gas because it produces a “greenhouse effect”.

How are human beings destroying the natural environment?

The primary individual cause of loss of habitat is the clearing of land for agriculture. The loss of wetlands, plains, lakes, and other natural environments all destroy or degrade habitat, as do other human activities such as introducing invasive species, polluting, trading in wildlife, and engaging in wars.

How are we affecting the environment?

Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.

How does a restructuring work in a business?

How Restructuring Works. When a company restructures internally, the operations, processes, departments, or ownership may change, enabling the business to become more integrated and profitable. Financial and legal advisors are often hired for negotiating restructuring plans.

What’s the difference between restructuring and exit activities?

Restructuring vs. exit activities. IAS 37 defines a restructuring as a program that materially changes the scope of a business or the manner in which it is conducted. US GAAP uses the term ‘exit activities’, which may be broader than a ‘restructuring’ under IFRS.

Why is it important to understand the scale of the restructuring?

Understanding the scale of the restructuring is therefore important because not all programs may qualify for cost recognition under IFRS. Restructuring costs are recognized as soon as there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) resulting from a past event, and a reliable estimate of costs can be made.

How are architects changing our relationship with nature?

Architects and designers have control over our built environment; by changing the way we design cities and buildings to connect to rather than disconnect from nature, we can change our proximity to nature and shift our physical relationship to the environment. Photo: Schristia. Creative Commons.
