Populations in Transition Disparities in Wealth and Development Patterns in Environmental Quality and Sustainability Patterns in Resource Consumption

Row 1, Col 1 Code de la famille, France, 1939 Example Norway (fertility rate 1.8) Evaluate an example of a pro ‑ natalist policy.

1,2 Australia USA (New York) Explain disparities and inequities that occur within countries resulting from ethnicity (3).

1,3 The Loess Plateau, China Explain the causes of soil degradation. Discuss the environmental and socio ‑ economic consequences of this process, together with management strategies.

1,4 neo-Maltusian vs anti-Malthusian (Ehrlich and Club of Rome vs Simon and Boserup) Discuss the two opposing views of the relationship between population size and resource consumption.

2,1 One-Child Policy, China, 1979 Example: Kerala, India (fertility rate 1.7) Evaluate an example of an anti ‑ natalist policy.

2,2 Ethiopia Trade may or may not reduce disparities in wealth and development.

2,3 Bolivia Example of a place with economic water scarcity (where water is available locally but not accessible for human, institutional or financial capital reasons).

2,4 China: Still coal, more HEP UK: More wind, more nuclear (Norway: HEP 99% of electricity) Explain the changes in the energy mix for many countries (2).

3,1 Rural-urban migration in China Forced migration in Darfur, Sudan Evaluate internal (national) migration in terms of its geographic (socio ‑ economic, political and environmental) impacts at their origins and destinations (2).

3,2 Jamaica Access to markets may or may not reduce disparities in wealth and development.

3,3 Amazon Explain the concept and importance of biodiversity in tropical rainforests. Examine the causes and consequences of reduced biodiversity in this biome.

3,4 Western governments want to reduce their dependence on unstable regimes in the Middle East. Tar sand in Canada. Drilling in Antarctica. Examine the geopolitical impacts of these changes in the patterns and trends in the production and consumption of oil (3).

4,1 Mexicans to the USA Evaluate international migration in terms of its geographic (socio ‑ economic, political and environmental) impacts at their origins and destinations.

4,2 Favelas in Rio de Janeiro Explain disparities and inequities that occur within countries resulting from residence, parental education, income, employment (formal and informal) and land ownership.

4,3 Changes in the Earth’s orbit (Milankovitch cycles) Volcanic eruptions Variations in solar output (sunspots) Natural causes of climate change (3).

4,4 Paper recycling in China Evaluate a strategy at a local or national scale aimed at reducing the consumption of one resource.

5,1 Japan Example Norway Examine the impacts of an ageing population.

5,2 Tajikistan Example where remittances account for approximately 50% of GDP.

5,3 Excellent Development, Machakos, Kenya Evaluate a management strategy at a local or national scale designed to achieve environmental sustainability.

5,4 Exxon Valdez, Alaska, 1989 Shell in the Niger delta, Nigeria The Cofans in the Ecuadorian Amazon Examine the environmental impacts of the changes in the patterns and trends in the production and consumption of oil (3).
