POL250Y5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 26: United Nations Environment Programme, West Coast Environmental Law, Water Scarcity
Document Summary
* in the video showed by the unep, there are all sorts of different possibilities that were put forward and the same sort of dilemma is presented to canadians. * will the future be blacker, more fossil fuel extraction, more oil sands pipelines like the contentious trans mountain pipeline going to vancouver. Will we have less ice and more water in the arctic (lectures on arctic and climate change), will it be drier in certain parts and more water scarcity and all sorts of intense storms. * will the future be teaming with all sorts of life, we spoke about the importance of biodiversity to help maintain strong and vibrant ecosystems and human populations as well. * will we have monoculture landscapes that are engineered for profit and not much else. * will we be returning to the land like jessica ernst did and spending more time with nature outside of urban centres.
