Pollution Deterioration of atmosphere and oceans Species diversity decline Deforestation
Came up with Agenda 21 –
The Sustainable Development Plan

2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (South Africa) Assessed progress/failures of Agenda 21, finding…
2002 World Summit
Not much changed between 1992 and 2002 – most countries are focused on other issues (terrorism, foreign policy, etc) rather than the environment
Why didn’t Agenda 21 make more of a difference? Agreements don’t help unless the world’s
nations enforce them!! Few international changes, but many local
changes! More stringent air pollution policy >100 countries enacted sustainable
development plans

Example: Question 9, Page 21 (R&B)Example: Question 9, Page 21 (R&B)
IPAT Example (page 21 IPAT Example (page 21 R&B)R&B) Use the IPAT equation to calculate the
environmental impact in terms of CO2 emissions per year at the beginning of the
21st century, when there were 6 billion people, an average of 0.1 motor vehicles per person, and 5.4 tons of CO2 emitted by each
car per year. Then make a similar calculation for the year
2050, based on these projections: a population of 10 billion people, 0.4 cars per
person, and CO2 emissions per vehicle similar to what we have today (that is, no
technological improvements). ANSWERS ON NEXT SLIDE
How might we hold global CO2 emissions from motor vehicles to 2000 levels in the year
2050?
Answers:
2000:I = P x A x TI = (6 billion people)(0.1 cars/person)(5.4 tons
CO2/car/year)
I = 3.24 billion tons CO2/year
2050:I = P x A x TI = (10 billion people)(0.4 cars/person)(5.4 tons
CO2/car/year)
I = 21.6 billion tons CO2/year

Calculate YOUR FootprintGo to www.myfootprint.org/ and take the
online quiz to calculate your footprint.Then recalculate, experimenting with the
settings to see how the footprint changes… different country, different
diet, etc.Write down your settings & results.

Case Study Extensions Get in eight teams. Each team reads one of eight case studies
related to those in Chapter 1. Become experts! When done, each team must teach the class
about your topic. After each presentation, the class will discuss
how this topic relates to the case study in Chapter 1. Use these questions to guide your discussion:
Why did Mrs. Toth choose this topic to supplement your book’s reading?
How does this relate to environmental science? How does this relate to the case study in the book?
HOMEWORK Write at least two quiz-type questions
that review today’s case studies (from the book and the articles).
Format: open-ended, not multiple-choice You’ll play “popcorn” next class with
these questions. Someone asks a question, then throws the ball to another student for the answer. The person who correctly answers the question asks the next one.
