The world's poor are disproportionately affected by environmental degradation and lack of access to clean, affordable energy services. climate change, loss of biodiversity and depletion of natural resources are both national and global issues requiring cooperation among all countries. (the united nations) works to strengthen national capacity to manage the environment in a sustainable manner while ensuring adequate protection for the poor, by identifying and sharing best practices, providing policy advice and forging partnerships." - united nations development programme source: united nations development programme, annual report, 2008 using the united nations' guidelines, a person living in which of these countries would be most affected by environmental degradation? a) france b) iceland c) ireland d) nigeria

The correct answer is: D) Nigeria.

We can infer this by comparing the Gross National Product (GNP), which is an "estimate of total value of all the final products and services turned out in a given period by the means of production owned by a country's residents". In this way we can estimate how much wealth a regular person in each country has.

Taking in consideration 127 countries and predictions made for 2019 to 2023 by Focus Economics, Nigeria is the 20th poorest country in the world having a GNP of 2318,455 USD. Of the options given, the wealthiest country is Ireland in the 123th place with a GNP of 79773.38 USD followed by Iceland in the 122th place and France in the 108th.

We can see that there must be a lot of differences on ways people can deffend themselves from environmental degradation depending on each country.
