Congratulations! The members of the United Nations found great value in the two analyses you provided. They are now asking you to develop a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the four most critical threats to the global environment. They are listed in the table below.

Energy sources

Civil war

Globalization

Poor health of entire populations

Lack of educational opportunities

Cultural taboos

Inappropriate uses of technology

Climate change

To complete this task, you must do the following:

Step I. Narrow the List from Eight to the Four Most Critical Threats

To complete this step, complete the following tasks in order:

  • Review research on each of the eight threats listed in the table.
  • Determine what you believe to be the current and potential future impacts of each threat on the global environment.
  • Choose the four threats that you see as the most critical by considering which pose the greatest or most immediate risk to us. 

Step II. Create the PowerPoint Presentation

The completed version of this presentation will include a minimum of 19 slides. Your audience consists of the United Nations General Assembly.

PPT Content and Structure

1.  A Title Slide: Include your name, course title, current date, and the name of your instructor.

2.  An Introduction Slide: List the four threats you chose, and in the Notes section offer a brief narrative justifying these choices

3.  Body Slides: The slide content is listed in the outline below. For each body slide you develop, please include a paragraph in the Notes section explaining how the details you have provided in the slide are pertinent to the United Nations’ discussion on selecting and prioritizing goals.

I.  For your first threat (this is the threat you consider to be the greatest risk/highest priority)

a.  One slide on a brief history and assessment of the threat

b.  One slide on the countries most affected by the threat, and how those countries are affected (please give examples)

c.  One slide on the effects of this threat on the world population as a whole

d.  One slide including a chart, graph, or compelling visual that relates to the content you present in body slides a–c

II.  For your second threat (this is the threat you consider to be the second greatest risk/second highest priority)

  1. One slide on a brief history and assessment of the threat
  2. One slide on the countries most affected by the threat, and how those countries are affected (please give examples)
  3. One slide on the effects of this threat on the world population as a whole
  4. One slide including a chart, graph, or compelling visual that relates to the content you present in body slides a–c

III.  For your third threat (this is the threat you consider to be the third greatest threat/highest priority)

a.  One slide on a brief history and assessment of the threat

b.  One slide on the countries most affected by the threat, and how those countries are affected (please give examples)

c.  One slide on the effects of this threat on the world population as a whole

d.  One slide including a chart, graph, or compelling visual that relates to the content you present in body slides a–c

IV.  For your fourth threat (this is the threat you consider to be the fourth greatest threat/highest priority)

a.  One slide on a brief history and assessment of the threat

b.  One slide on the countries most affected by the threat, and how those countries are affected (please give examples)

c.  One slide on the effects of this threat on the world population as a whole

d.  One slide including a chart, graph, or compelling visual that relates to the content you present in body slides a–c

4.  A Conclusion Slide: Summarize your findings for the Assembly.

5.  Optional – Reference Slide: You can include full-text citations in the Notes section of each slide or provide a reference slide at the end of the presentation with the full citations of your sources.

Note: Please discuss the threats in order of priority as described above, so the threat you consider the greatest should be discussed first in the presentation and so on.

Note: Please use at least five credible sources to back up your discussion

Note: The body slides should summarize your key takeaways, whereas the Notes section of each body slide should discuss the evidence and the details that support your takeaways. The content in both the Notes and body sections requires citations and sources.
