Global Interactions
DIFFERENT COMPONENTS
The growing
interdependence
of countries worldwide through the
increasing
volume and variety of
cross-borders transactions
in goods and services and of international
capital flows
, and through the more rapid and widespread
diffusion of technology
Growing interdependence of countries
Countries using each other for self-improvement, increasing every year
The creation of the auto industry in America -> Southeast
| Asian nations to provide rubber to make tires for cars
|
L> Asian countries imported natural rubber the most with 61.5% of the global total totalling $10.7 billion.
Increasing volume of cross-border transactions
Increase of trading abroad every year
Japan is the world's largest single national importer of fish and fishery products
|
L> Japan's import of marine products increased greatly in the 1980s and was nearly 2 million tons in 1989
Variety of cross-border transactions
Many different types of product traded between countries
Japan exports cars ($100B), vehicle parts ($33.5B), industrial printers ($12.5B), passenger and cargo ($12.5B)
Increasing volume of international capital flows
Many flows are increasing between countries
Japan's economy ranks third in terms of GDP - $4.88 trillion, recorded in 2017
widespread diffusion of technology
Many countries are sharing the spread of technology
Seoul is ranked as the world's "leading digital city" and a "tech capital of the world".
South Korea is among the world's most technologically advanced and digitally connected countries
Samsung': $54.8B in revenue and $12.6B in profit slightly beating Apple
NEXUS THINKING
A
new
way of
thinking
that recognises the crucial
interdependence
of
water
energy
and
food
- a relationship that forms the core of the environment
Nexus
project.
FOOD
Feed
A human's necessity
produces energy for the industrial workers
WATER
Agriculture
help crops grow
-> linked to food
Cool power plants
reduce risk of overheating and explosions
-> linked to energy
Household everyday activities
hydration
sanitary related activities (brushing your teeth, showering, laundry...)
ENERGY
Residential
heat and cool our homes
for light
function/charge electronics
Commercial
electricity and natural gas = most common commercial energy sources
business like retail stores or auto dealerships
means engaging in trading and commerce
Transportation
aeroplanes, cars, motorbikes
petrol (92% of the US transportation sector)
biofuels: ethanol and biodiesel (5%)
natural gas (nearly 3%)
travelling or importing and exporting
Industrial
means producing goods, usually from raw materials
natural gas, petrol, coal, electricity
Feedstocks (raw materials) to make products such as plastics and chemicals
Boiler fuel to generate steam or hot water for process heating and generating electricity
Heat in industrial processes and space heating in buildings
Hydropower (a source of energy)
linked to water
Climate change
A broader term that refers to
long-term changes
in the climate of different places including
temperature
and
precipitation
,
humidity
, hours of sunlight, wind
CAUSES
Air pollution
transport
oil, petrol
factory
fossil fuels
Volcanic eruptions
release smoke, gas and ashes
stops the sunlight from escaping the atmosphere
Shape of orbit changes
distance from the Earth and the Sun can affect the global temperature
IMPACTS
global warming
polar ice melting
water level rises
inundation could occur along more than 70% of the Nigerian coastline
shifts global ocean currents
the Antarctic ice melts
ocean heats up
water evaporates into clouds
more energy intensive storms
SOLUTIONS
use less petrol and gas
invest in renewable energy sources
solar panels
wind turbines
hydroelectricity
Global Warming
The Greenhouse effect
A gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation e.g carbon dioxide
The natural gas is preventing the sunlight/ heat from escaping the atmosphere/ trapping the heat
Global temperature rises
Causes and Effects
Gas emission from cars -> temperature rises -> forest fires -> destroyed habitats
Pollution from factories -> temperature rises -> glacier melts -> sea level rises -> flooding
Greenhouse effect -> Global temperature rises/ Europe heats up ->Tropical mosquitoes migrate north -> spreads disease -> people become ill -> economy goes down
Solutions
Invest in renewable energy
hydroelectricity
cleaner
no air pollution emit
wind power
solar power
Plant trees
absorb carbon dioxide
produce oxygen
reflect sunlight
spray aerosol into atmosphere
