Final stewardship

1. The rate of population growth has outstripped the capacity of the world to support world population SS11-Final Project By Lu Liu

2. The Growth of Population with Green Economy Sustainable consumption and production The world we want Lu Liu --- Mark Twain

3. Maintain our eco-systems to sustain a Green Planet Lu Liu

4. Lu Liu World Population Reaches 7 Billion Overpopulation is an undoubtable facts which far exceeds the carrying capacity of our earth . http://www.census.gov/topics/population.html

5. Lu Liu Issues: Depletion of Natural Resources Environmental Problems http://www.prb.org/wpds/2014/index.html

6. Lu Liu Do We Consume Too Much? Do We Fit On the Planet? By the 2030s, we will need the RESOURCES of two Earths to support us. But we only have one. ot Data http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/pa ge/world_footprint/

7. The Shortage Of Land Leads Over-Crowed Cities Lu Liu City environmental problems, such as air pollution, inadequate water ,waste management and so on.

8. Urban problems -Greater Los Angeles Greater Los Angeles is able to support at most one million people on its own water system and energy supply; as of 2015, There are population of over 18 million. Actually the similar resource scarcity will happen in most cities as the world population increases Lu Liu

9. Water Scarcity Lu Liu By 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity %50 Developing country and two-thirds of the world population could live under water stress conditions. http://www.un.org/waterforlifedecade/scarcit y.shtml

10. Tropical Rainforest Lu Liu Destroyed at 100 acres /minute 2% EARTH Covering less than 2 percent of the Earth's total surface area, the world's rainforests are home to 50 percent of the Earth's plants and animals. Data:http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/urgent issues/rainforests/rainforests-facts.xml

11. Worlds Fisheries Lu Liu Consumed too much 72% Of the 600 marine fish stocks monitored by FAO, 52% are fully exploited, 17% are overexploited, 7% are depleted.

12. World Footprint Lu Liu To keep up with human consumption by 2050 3 PLANET Today People uses the about 1.5 planets to provide the resources we use and absorb our waste. http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.ph p/GFN/page/world_footprint/

13. Global Carbon Emissions Lu Liu from 1900-2008 16 Times Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels have significantly increased since 1900. Emissions increased by over 16 times between 1900 and 2008 and by about 1.5 times between 1990 and 2008. Data:http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ghge missions/global.html

14. World population At least 9 billion people in 2050 The demand for food and fuel Likely outpace food production Increased use in agriculture Reducing water resources ,add more climate change Food Could Be Most Serious Global Issue By 2050 Lu Liu

15. Global warming Extreme weather events that threaten our life One-third of all counties Facing sustainability of water supplies in the future 50% carbon emissions Leading Sea level being risen and forest loss Climate Change Lu Liu

16. Population Matters Lu Liu Data http://blog.populationinstitute.org/

17. Different View About Over-Population We have enough food ,forest and renewable resources to feed 10 billion people . Lu Liu Farmers worldwide could double the crop production

18. Different View About Over-Population No global shortages of natural fuels are in sight. (Consumption: Theory and issues in the study of consumption Daniel Miller Taylor & Francis, Jan 1, 2001) Technologies are ready to begin building a world energy system powered by solar resources. Lu Liu

19. Lu Liu Inspire our solutions and innovations awareness of Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability. http://diplomacy.norwich.edu/overpopulated-world/

20. Problem Worth Solving Environment Sustainability Reduce Poverty And Inequality Protect Our Planet Biodiversity Conservation Lu Liu

21. Renewable Energy Lu Liu Stop fossil fuels which puts Our lands, air, water and climate at risk.

22. Conserving Fisheries Ocean ecosystems will continue to deteriorate by overfishing and pollution. Sustainable fishing by conservation- minded fishing practices. Lu Liu http://www.nrdc.org/oceans/conserving- fisheries/

23. Towards the Circular Economy Lu Liu http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_ENV_TowardsCircularEconomy_Report_2014. pdf Golden Oldies. High Potentials. Rough Diamonds. Future Blockbusters.

24. Reach zero loss of natural habitats Establish a conservation target of 17% water areas Restore at least 15% of degraded areas Some Biodiversity Targets Lu Liu Data:Https://www.cbd.int/sp/targets/rationale/target-15/

25. Conclusion Our Planet Cannot Support Our Population Growth The global eco - system is damaging under more than 7 billion people. It is not possible to support still growing exponentially population. Lu Liu

26. Continued Earth has lost 80,000 acres forest every day, some 50,000 species a year, and many clean air ,water and land. How can we feed more people without doing bad the earth? Lu Liu

27. Take Action --Sustainable Development Lu Liu Meet the needs of the world's current population without damaging our Planet

28. Take Action --Stewardship Priorities Lu Liu Safeguarding ecosystem Reduce the direct pressures on biodiversity Sustainable consumption and production Protecting endangered animals

29. The Balance of Nature will guide human toward a more responsible stewardship of our planet's ecosystems. Lu Liu The Balance of Nature: Ecology's Enduring Myth by John Kricher
