POL 101 World Politics
Instructions
Find two cases of countries greatly affected by climate, either the present or the past.
Climate impacts may include the following: major droughts, flooding, extreme weather
events, heat stress, and sea level rise.
- In the first case, the climate impact caused serious problems to the society.
- In the second case, the country managed to avoid serious damage to the society
by means of a response or policies set in advance.
For each case, describe:
- What is your country? When did the climate impact take place? What was the
climate impact? How unusual was it? (12 points per country)
- What was the country’s response, if any? (12 points per country)
- What were the consequences of the climate impact in terms of damage to the
society (people, property, and so on). (12 points per country)
Discuss why, in your own opinion, the first and second cases are different; in other
words, why did the first country suffer from more damage than the second country? (28
points)
