An introduction to the world's growing population and globalisation, covering topics such as population growth, migration and refugees, free movement, globalisation, food miles and international cooperation.
Earth's population is growing but whose planet is it? As the number of people who call Earth home increases, habitats are destroyed in order to build homes and grow food to feed the world's population.
Taking a balanced look at topics such as the global food chain and food miles, tourism, migration and the refugee crisis, and international responses to natural disasters and pandemics, the book also includes positive suggestions to enable readers to make a difference, and project ideas to help them engage with the subject. It explores the gap between the world's richest and poorest people, globalisation and the positive and negative consequences of our interconnected world.
