If the food situation continues to worsen, entire nations will break down at an ever increasing rate.

The implication is a sharp decline in global trade, which has plunged partly because oilproducing nations can't afford to import as much as they used to.

One reason is that more countries are big oil producers now, so the nations suffering from the price drop account for a larger share of the global economy.

It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns; in some of these nations, it's likely that only the richest people do.

Before you brush this argument aside as rubbish, or think of joy as an unaffordable luxury in a nation where there is awful poverty, low academic achievement, and high dropout rates, think again.

Citizens of wealthy nations demand national parks, clean rivers, clean air and poisonfree food.

A case can be made that rich nations export environmental problems, the most graphic example being climate change.

Nations are also pressing ahead with space research and satellite projects to expand their global navigation abilities.

More than $100 billion in funding has been put on the table for supporting developing nations to reduce emissions.

It will motivate all nations to reduce carbon emissions.

However, the agreement specifies that there is no formal distinction between developed and developing nations in their responsibility to cut emissions, effectively ignoring historical emissions.

For the first time, the world's nations agreed to keep global warming well below 2 ℃.

Encouraging high-emitting nations to take the initiative.

Developed nations such as Australia, the United States, Canada, and European countries are essentially climate free-riders: causing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions, while incurring few of the costs such as climate change's impact on food and water.

Colombia said this year that it planned to join other South American nations with bases in Antarctica.

Calling on all the nations concerned to make joint efforts.

Being stationed in Antarctica involves adapting to life on the planet's driest, windiest and coldest continent, yet each nation manages to make itself at home.

In the modem industrialised agricultural process—which developing nations are moving towards in order to increase future yields—energy usage in the making and application of fertilisers and pesticides represents the single biggest component

In order to begin tackling the challenge, the Institution recommends that: The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation work with the international engineering community to ensure governments of developed nations put in place programmes that transfer engineering knowledge, design know-how, and suitable technology to newly developing countries

Governments in developed nations devise and implement policy that changes consumer expectations

By 1973, domestic US sources of oil were peaking, and the nation was importing more of its oil, depending on a constant flow from abroad to keep cars on the road and machines running.

Oil prices may exert influence not only on American government policies but on how energy is used in the nation

Craft work has higher status in nations like Germany, which invests in apprenticeship (學(xué)徒) programs for high school students.

Then, in 1973, the predominantly Arab nations of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) resolved to stop selling oil to the United States.

These included developing additional domestic sources (such as those on Alaska's North Slope), resuming extraction at sites that had been shut down because of cost inefficiency, capping the price that domestic producers could charge for oil, and beginning to import oil from a greater diversity of nations.

The Pacific island nation of Palau has become home to the sixth largest marine sanctuary in the world.

The tiny island nation has set aside 500, 000 square kilometers 80 percent—of its maritime territory, for full protection.

As for the USA, it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010—2030.

If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?

If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be 0.

In fact, half of the 6, 000-7, 000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the united nations educational, scientific and cultural organization UNESCO.

Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.

Others say it's only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.

This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.
