| This module introduces the key concepts, issues and components of GEC, and then deals with the debates on controversial GEC policy issues. The core of the subject is presented in three components: human (population, global energy supply and its resource implications, transport & tourism trends and impacts), biological (acid and ozone impacts on ecosystems, CO2 impacts on plant growth & agriculture, marine productivity & fisheries impacts, effects on pests & diseases), and physico-chemical (atmospheric pollutants, model predictions of climate change, global ocean observing programs, global water-hydrology, and global planning and land use). Case studies on issues such as world health are also addressed. |
