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.

the beginning of the iditarod trail sled dog race. the iditarod trail sled dog race first ran to nome in 1973.   the trail they used is today known as the iditarod trail, first surveyed by the alaska road commission in 1908 and now one of the national historic trails as so designated by the congress of the united states.

what inspired

the children of nome were dying in january 1925. infected with diphtheria, they wheezed and gasped for air, and every day brought a new case of the lethal respiratory disease. nome’s lone physician, dr. curtis welch, feared an epidemic that could put the entire village of 1,400 at risk. he ordered a quarantine but knew that only an antitoxin serum could ward off the fast-spreading disease.the nearest batch of the life-saving medicine, however, rested more than 1,000 miles away in anchorage. nome’s ice-choked harbor made sea transport impossible, and open-cockpit airplanes could not fly in alaska’s subzero temperatures. with the nearest train station nearly 700 miles away in nenana, canine power offered nome its best hope for a speedy delivery.sled dogs regularly beat alaska’s snowy trails to deliver mail, and the territory’s governor, scott c. bone, recruited the best drivers and dog teams to stage a round-the-clock relay to transport the serum from nenana to nome. on the night of january 27, 1925, a train whistle pierced nenana’s stillness as it arrived with the precious cargo—a 20-pound package of serum wrapped in protective fur. musher “wild bill” shannon tied the parcel to his sled. as he gave the signal, the paws of shannon’s nine malamutes pounded the snow-packed trail on the first steps of a 674-mile “great race of mercy” through rugged wilderness, across frozen waterways and over treeless tundra.even by alaskan standards, this winter night packed extra bite, with temperatures plummeting to 60 degrees below zero fahrenheit. although every second was precious as the number of confirmed cases in nome mounted, shannon knew he needed to control his speed. if his dogs ran too fast and breathed too deeply in such frigid conditions, they could frost their lungs and die of exposure. although shannon ran next to the sled to raise his own body temperature, he still developed hypothermia and frostbite on the 52-mile leg to tolovana before handing off the serum to the second dog team.
