Global Risk Report Assignment 2

Considering the possible aspects occur, experts have ranked 10 leading risk in the next 10 years respectively: the risk of international conflict, extreme weather, failure of control systems national treatment, crisis or the collapse of state, unemployed or underemployed, disaster, failure to adapt to climate change, water crisis, cheat or steal data, network attacks.

However, if considered in terms of potential impact in the next decade, experts have put at risk the water crisis to the forefront and there are some changes in ranking order with some risk such as the spread of infectious diseases rapidly, the weapons of mass destruction, energy price shock, the financial crisis ...

With 28 global risks were evaluated in 2015 can be grouped into 5 categories: economic, environmental, geopolitical, social and technological.
Besides the risk of social, notable amongst the leading risk this year is the presence of more environmental risks, even more than economic risks.

This is the result of a significant increase in negative evaluations of the experts for the preparation in practice to respond to challenges such as extreme weather and climate change.

''As past years have seen a build-up of debt in many major economies – notably China, where the corporate debt-to-GDP ratio went from 92% in 2003-2007 to 110% in 2013 – the possible risk is that deflation could reduce debtors’ ability to repay, threatening the future stability of the financial system. (A magazine that focuses on shocking news)''

Margareta Drzeniek-Hanouz, WEF economist leader, commented: 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the world is once again facing the risk of major conflict between nations.Currently the means to conduct such conflicts more than ever, be it through cyber attacks, competition of resources or economic sanctions and other tools.
In addition to assessing the ability and the potential impact of these risks on the world, global risks report in 2015 also considered the links between the risks, and how to interact with the tendency to form risk short-term and medium-term facility.
Hope y'all learn something form this.

Global Risks Report

World, our world that we are living everyday appear tons of risky things .  Infographics below suggest risks in different alarmed areas. Impact is the size of effect, or "How damaging will it be?". Likehood is the probability, or "By how much chance will it happen?".

According to this infographic, catastrophes and extreme weather events drop less sligtly but more often. Ecosystem collapse needs to be treated more seriously and biodiversity loss . Failure of adaptation happens more often.

On this infographic, the spread out of infectious diseases increased in 2015; an example would be Ebola.  Social instability happens less frequently. Impact of failure of urban planning significantly decreases.Water and food are lacking.

Base on this infographic, critical information substructure breakdown and cyber attack have become more critical problems in the modern society. Also, data hoax or theft happens more likely.

From those 3, even they seem not to related to each, are closely connected. Environmental problem and social problem are covolute together in a cycle: Both are the cause and result of the other. The chaos in societal will spread into the Internet: some people use technology as a negative way to solve their social needs.

For the reason said above, environmental and social problems their would be a to do list or even a to slove list!!

Pollution

Today, the problem of environmental pollution has become increasingly serious in Vietnam years.We can easily encounter the image, information about environmental pollution on vehicles communications. This caused me to think ...
Condition urban planning no problems associated with waste disposal, waste water environmental pollution in large cities, industrial zones and urban areas is alarming.

Another major cause of environmental pollution is the lack of corporate responsibility. They set goals heavy profit maximization, many businesses have violated exploitation process, significantly contributing cause of environmental pollution. Besides, it was not close in the management of environmental protection of the state were also abet acts of environmental vandalism continues. Vietnam lacks defined policies and strict environmental protection and therefore is attracting investment funds to grow so susceptible to "trap": become the industry receives many "dirty" . For example, steel industry consuming resources such as land, water, energy, waste emissions harmful to the environment. In addition, she circulation of vehicles in our country increasingly contributes significantly to polluting the atmosphere.

Motivation

Motivating yourself and urge others to act. Having understood these principles can motivate yourself, you will understand the principles may motivate other people. Conversely, once understood these principles have thetao motivation for others, you'll understand the principles may motivate yourself

Make a habit to motivate yourself with a positive attitude, then you can orient thinking, emotional control and destiny.

Maslow has created a need of hierarchy, needs were categorized as five levels of lower, to higher-order needs. Individuals must sastify lower-order needs before they can sastify higher order needs. motivating a person depends on knowing at what level that person is on the hierarchy. In Hierachy of needs, lower-order (external) are physicological and safety, higher-order (internal) are social, esteem, and self-actualization

Hope is the desire of people towards a certain goal, and he believes that certain objectives will be achieved. People generally proactive response based on what you crave, trust and believe can be achieved.

The hope has motivated cosmetics manufacturers build their work. Hopefully motivate women buy cosmetics. And hopefully will motivate you.And m
otivation is both good and bad, depending on different situations. It is each person's jobs to suppress the bad motivation and enhance the good one. About the "Youtube" student, he probably needs to stay motivated.

Conflicts in oneself

We have living in the world which is way more different than the 90s because of modern technology ,policies,... with those development, people use to expect more from you or the young generation. Thuogh all  those development, and expectation,.... can our live being better??

By the developing of Medication, we live longer, have less diseases,... By the developing of technology, we have smart phone, robot,..... which make our live more convenience. And then those are things that have to get your time to get it done like: money, bills, family,..... which can make you insane and messing up with your life. Your parent, my parent, they're always busy because of those elements.

So, our life is getting better or we(human) just turn our own life into a race?

Biodiversity in Viet Nam

Vietnam with biodiversity values ​​high and is recognized as one of the countries should be a priority for the conservation of global biodiversity.

Since 1994, Vietnam has joined the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Since then, the Government of Vietnam was concerned, considerable investment in both human and financial resources for implementation of commitments and their obligations to the Convention.

However, in the process of industrialization and urbanization has adverse impacts on the conservation of biodiversity in Vietnam, requires the possible solutions and the further efforts of agencies functions from central to local levels for this work.

_ The threat to biodiversity
Biodiversity in Vietnam is facing a lot of threats. The increase in population and consumption is pressure led to overexploitation of biological resources, along with the development of economy, society has changed the natural landscape. The use of land, build more infrastructure has reduced the area of ​​natural habitat, increasing fragmentation of ecosystems, degrade the habitat of many animals and plants.
Coastal sandy area is type specific ecosystem of the central coastal province hardly altered, reducing the function as preventing sand, shoreline erosion protection, storage of freshwater. According to statistics, private sandy area of ​​Ninh Thuan from Ha Tinh to 85.100ha. From 1999 to now by the development of shrimp farming in the sand and ilmenite placer mining, the construction of the resort was destroyed thousands of hectares of coastal sand-Central region, casuarina forests and coastal protection is impaired, increase speed inland sand encroachment, impact on agricultural ecosystems.

The survey results showed that one of the causes of mangrove deforestation is due to conversion to shrimp ponds ... The vast natural tidal estuary in the northern delta and Southern also shrunk to the clam flats. Recently, a significant water surface in vVnh Halong, Bai Tu Long used to develop aquaculture in floating cages. The form of this culture is also one of the causes of environmental deterioration of water, loss of ecosystems, coral reefs, sea grass which grow here.

The catfish, basa with high stocking density in the Mekong Delta is the cause potential environmental pollution, affecting the biodiversity. Excess fish feed with high levels of nutrients are not destroyed all public high with products from fish farming excretion, leading to organic pollution, the impact on the ecosystem and aquatic communities there.

The construction of reservoirs for hydroelectric besides loss of natural forests, preventing the migration of fish, cleavage river. Many hydroelectric reservoirs in operation when not operating properly process as flood discharge regime, ensure environmental flows cause damage to people, the economy, affecting ecosystems downstream. In addition, the development of infrastructure also increases the mechanical population creates indirect impacts to biodiversity degradation.

To limit the decline in area and quality of the natural forest, the Government of Vietnam has promulgated a series of regulations to control commercial logging. However, the illegal logging activities still take place in some localities. The construction of timber road transport is often easier to create conditions for activities of hunting and NTFP extraction, greater pressure for fauna, flora species already heavily affected by the recession and habitat fragmentation.

Approximately 1/5 of Vietnam's population dependent on fishing to survive, these activities also contribute greatly to the food needs of people and exports. However, the increase in consumption, along with the management of fisheries has not been effective has led to excessive fishing in many areas, depleting fisheries resources and break the inshore reefs . Many seafood species have high value severely impaired as lobster, abalone, scallops ... Catching destructive as the use of explosives, poison and electric shocks to fishing still takes place both in inland and coastal areas, threatening more than 80% of Vietnam coral reefs.

Rising temperatures also increase the possibility of forest fires, especially in the forests on peat land has damage biological resources, has increased greenhouse gas emissions increased climate change. Climate change, along with the decline in the area of ​​watershed, using water resources unreasonable rod leads to floods, flash floods, landslides ... happen more and more, increasingly serious consequences for with human life and the environment.

G7

Group of Seven (or G7) is a group of countries which are economically advanced and are considered leaders of the world. The group includes the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and Italy.

G7 was originally G6 ("Group of Six). Founded in 1975, G6 consisted of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdoms, and United States. In 1976, Canada became the seventh member. Later, in 1998, under term of President Yeltsin, Russia joined the group, which changed into "Group of Eight" (G8). In 2014, because of the annexation of Crimea, Russia was forced to leave G8, which now becomes G7 again.

Many have raised the question whether or not China, India should be allowed to join the Group. They are rapidly growing countries with very robust economies. The G7 consists of countries with highly advanced economies, so why shouldn't China and India be allowed? Evidently, their economies have proven to be one of the best, and China and India's presences in the group would greatly augment the strength of the world economically.

Russia joined the group in 1998 creating G8 but was kicked out lately because of the intense political issues in Ukranine. Also to China and India, these two countries are considered whether should be aloowed to joined the group. The way I see it, the bigger the group expand, the more arguments they would have then spliting up into smaller groups with different perspective.
