Globalization has: stimulated the relocation of industry to the global south, caused urbanization as people move away from rural areas, contributed to ever-rising levels of consumption, promoted the sharing of knowledge and the influential presence of ngos. Ever-freer trade can have environmental consequences by disrupting local ecologies, cultural habitats, and livelihoods.
