Congratulations! The United Nations has hired you as a consultant on global issues. Many of the UN members are not satisfied with the progress of the Millennium Development Goals. They feel that the goals focus on the wrong issues. There is a disconnect between what issues the UN developed countries believe are priorities and what many developing countries feel the prioritized issues should be. For example, the country of Burundi has asked that one of the goals be focused on food security. Austria, however, is adamant that the major current global issue is to mediate ceasefires in countries in the midst of a civil war.

Many of the UN members are not satisfied with the progress of the Millennium Development Goals. They feel that the goals focus on the wrong issues.

For example, the country of Burundi has asked that one of the goals be focused on food security. Austria, however, is adamant that the major current global issue is to mediate ceasefires in countries in the midst of a civil war.
You have been asked to provide an unbiased perspective and identify the four issues you feel most impact the global environment. You will present your findings at the next UN General Assembly.

Energy sources
Civil war
Globalization
Poor health of entire populations
Lack of educational opportunities

Inappropriate uses of technology
Climate change
For your presentation to the United Nations:
  1. Develop a minimum of four slides per issue for a minimum total of 16 slides.
  2. Provide at least a paragraph on each slide (in the notes section) to explain the reason this information is relevant to the UN’s assessment.
    1. To review how to do any of the required assignment deliverables in PowerPoint, please refer to your Lynda.com account or reach out to your instructor ahead of time.
  3. For each issue, create a graph or chart to analyze the data you have collected. 
  4. Cite at least five credible sources excluding Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias.
