Examples shown are maps of drought/famine areas in Africa from 1979-2001, observed and predicted declines in Arctic sea ice, and rapid urban expansion in Chinese cities from 1990-2000.
The document discusses different aspects of global economic power, including influential international organizations, large multinational corporations, important world cities, and wealthy individuals. It provides information on the membership and role of the OECD and G20. Data is presented on the largest companies and number in different world regions. A ranking and map of influential global cities is examined. Finally, details are given on the wealthiest billionaires, their locations, and how their residence patterns relate to global economic dominance.
This document discusses the implications of the financial crisis for agricultural growth in developing countries. It identifies four main impact channels: reduced export demand and terms of trade; decreased liquidity, FDI, remittances and trade credit; constraints on foreign exchange and fiscal deficits; and domestic policy responses. The document also examines lessons from past crises, long-term challenges of meeting poverty reduction goals through agricultural growth, and the need for crisis responses to prioritize growth and avoid reversing progress on sector policies and public expenditures.
The document compares hosted and self-hosted blogging platforms. It lists the top 25 blogging sites and discusses Blogger and WordPress as examples of a hosted and self-hosted platform respectively. A hosted platform like Blogger makes it easy to start blogging without costs but offers less customization. WordPress gives more control over design and plugins but requires technical skills and costs for hosting. It recommends trying both Blogger and WordPress to learn their differences.

This document provides feedback on essays and guidance for improvement. Key points include:
1) Students must thoroughly review comments and grading rubrics to understand where marks were lost.
2) Essays should be several pages long and include a variety of recent, global case studies from different sources to earn high marks.
3) Introductions need to clearly establish the purpose and include relevant context. Conclusions should thoroughly summarize case studies.
4) Analysis must discuss both positive and negative impacts on people and consider a range of perspectives, rather than simplistic statements.
This document contains data analysis from sampling points in the Lace Market/Creative Quarter area. It includes bipolar raw and mean data from 20 points, as well as counts of pedestrians, cycles, cars, and other vehicles at each point. Additional data sections provide information on graffiti, vegetation, activity surveys, and a pie chart showing land use percentages.
This document contains resource materials for an exam on global challenges, including figures and data related to topics like natural disasters, climate change, globalization, migration, population change, and technological innovation. Specifically:
- Figure 1 shows the increasing number of reported natural disasters per year from 1900 to 2000.
- Figure 2 outlines the differences between climate change mitigation (reducing causes) and adaptation (preparing for consequences).
- Figure 5 presents UK immigration and emigration statistics from 1998 to 2008 that show immigration increasing while emigration decreases.
- Figures 7 and 10 illustrate the growth and changing distribution of world megacities, showing their increasing numbers, sizes, and locations over time.
This document contains notes from progress tests on various topics:
1. The grade boundaries for the progress test, ranging from A to E. Most students were expected to score between A-C.
2. Key points about average income and variations between countries. Developing countries rely on manufacturing or trade, while quality of life is improving. Oil wealth contributes significantly to variations between some countries.
3. Factors affecting internet connectivity between Europe and Africa. Physical barriers like mountains and deserts impact Africa more, while certain coastal areas and countries have better connectivity.
That's a high-level summary of the key information provided in the document in 3 sentences. Let me know if you need any clarification
Ethiopia belongs to the LDCs or Less Developed Countries. An example of an NIC is South Korea. NICs are middle-income industrializing nations like South Korea, Taiwan, and Brazil. Figure 4 shows evidence of a two speed world with wide differences in GDP per capita between advanced economies like the OECD nations and developing nations like the LDCs and NICs.
This document provides feedback on a mock exam. It includes:
- Grade boundaries for the exam of A=50, B=46, C=43, D=40, E=37.
- Feedback on student responses to different exam questions about rebranding an area, providing evidence from photos and discussing players involved.
- Tips for improving responses, such as being precise about sources and locations, and mentioning results from fieldwork and research.
Assessing the 4 options against the criteria in figure 10Sally Longford
The document assesses 4 energy options - nuclear power, shale gas, bioethanol, and concentrated solar power (CSP) - based on environmental impacts, cost, security of supply, and reliability. Nuclear power scores well on reliability but poorly on environmental impacts and cost. Shale gas has low costs in some areas but environmental and supply security concerns. Bioethanol could increase food prices and rely on harvests. CSP is expensive initially but long-lasting and reliable, relying on solar resources in stable regions.
This document provides an overview of key themes and considerations for choosing energy solutions in Europe:
1. Climate change is driving the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate global warming, as required by the Kyoto Protocol.
2. European countries want energy solutions that support economic growth while keeping costs low.
3. Solutions must achieve sustainable development by meeting current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
Cutting energy demand through measures like insulation, efficiency improvements, and renewable energy adoption can also help address these issues. No single solution can resolve the challenges, and all options have pros and cons.
The Lace Market area in Nottingham has undergone various regeneration projects since the 1970s with some successes in attracting new developments like the National Ice Centre and Nottingham Contemporary arts center to boost the local economy, but full regeneration is still a work in progress as evidenced by mixed evidence found on street views of the area and businesses reporting increased foot traffic but galleries saying increased awareness will take more time.
The summary provides feedback on a student's mock AS exam, identifying several areas in need of improvement:
1) The student performed poorly and needs significant revision, as an A Level requires advanced understanding beyond GCSE.
2) Common mistakes included not knowing key topics, lacking examples, misreading questions, and weaknesses in understanding concepts like El Nino, volcanic eruptions, food insecurity and migration push/pull factors.
3) To improve, the student must thoroughly review mistakes, learn definitions, basics of topics like climate change and hazards, and study required case studies in detail.
Global Challenges Mark Scheme January 2012Sally Longford
The document provides a mark scheme for a geography exam on global challenges. It outlines the general marking guidance instructing examiners to mark candidates positively and use the full range of marks. It also provides specific guidance on marking for individual questions on the exam, identifying what examiners should award marks for in candidate responses.
(1) Landslides and avalanches are natural hazards found in mountainous areas.
(2) Landslides occur where there are steep slopes and cliffs near the coast or inland, and their risk is increased by earthquakes, heavy rainfall, and human activities like deforestation.
(3) Avalanches are more common in areas with heavy snowfall and glaciers at high elevations. The risk of these hazards affecting people is greater in locations that are inhabited.
The document provides instructions for a webquest to visualize and understand differences in development levels between countries over time using the Gapminder website. It guides the user to select countries and view graphs of changes in life expectancy and GDP per capita historically, and to capture screenshots of the graphs to paste into a Word document. It also directs the user to access maps and data on the Human Development Index (HDI), Gender Inequality Index (GII), and Inequality-Adjusted HDI on the UNDP website to further understand development gaps between nations.
This document summarizes information about the concentration of global economic power. It finds that power is concentrated in transnational corporations based mostly in North America and Europe. It also finds that the world's richest people and most influential global cities are predominantly located in these regions as well, suggesting economic power remains unevenly distributed globally, concentrated in Western nations.
Nottingham has undertaken several urban rebranding efforts to change its image and regenerate parts of the city. These include rebranding the Lace Market area near the new tram stop through environmental improvements and attracting new commercial and residential developments. Another project, The Hub, aimed to rebrand the run-down railway station area through a £60 million investment that included refurbishing the station, improving retail, and regenerating surrounding land. A third rebranding involved transforming the old canal district through landscaping and developments like the contemporary art gallery that boosted local business and tourism.
This document discusses various case studies of rural rebranding efforts:
1) National Forest in Great Britain was rebranded by planting millions of trees to attract tourism and make the area more sustainable.
2) Newstead Village was struggling after coal mine closure but won funds to build attractions like fishing lakes to employ youth and reduce crime.
3) Wirksworth in England rebranded through cultural festivals and events to attract artists and professionals and boost the local economy.
This document provides information about an exam board and qualifications offered, as well as contact details for subject advisors. It includes a mark scheme for a geography exam that provides guidance to examiners on marking answers. The mark scheme outlines the types of responses expected and how marks should be awarded. It also provides examples of responses that should not receive credit.
This document provides a mark scheme for the January 2012 GCE Geography (6GE02) Paper 01 Geographical Investigations exam.

- qu’on vous offre des conseils de la vie ?
Ce document est une ressource qui met en évidence deux obstacles qui empêchent les jeunes de mener une vie épanouie : l'inaction et le pessimisme.
1) Découvrez comment l'inaction, c'est-à-dire le fait de ne pas agir ou d'agir alors qu'on le devrait ou qu'on est censé le faire, est un obstacle à une vie épanouie ;
> Comment l'inaction affecte-t-elle l'avenir du jeune ? Que devraient plutôt faire les jeunes pour se racheter et récupérer ce qui leur appartient ? A découvrir dans le document ;
2) Le pessimisme, c'est douter de tout ! Les jeunes doutent que la génération plus âgée ne soit jamais orientée vers la bonne volonté. Les jeunes se sentent toujours mal à l'aise face à la ruse et la volonté politique de la génération plus âgée ! Cet état de doute extrême empêche les jeunes de découvrir les opportunités offertes par les politiques et les dispositifs en faveur de la jeunesse. Voulez-vous en savoir plus sur ces opportunités que la plupart des jeunes ne découvrent pas à cause de leur pessimisme ? Consultez cette ressource gratuite et profitez-en !

J'ai réalisé ce projet pour obtenir mon diplôme en licence en sciences de gestion, spécialité management, à l'ISCAE Manouba. Au cours de mon stage chez Attijari Bank, j'ai été particulièrement intéressé par l'impact des critères Environnementaux, Sociaux et de Gouvernance (ESG) sur les décisions d'investissement dans le secteur bancaire. Cette étude explore comment ces critères influencent les stratégies et les choix d'investissement des banques.
