Congratulations! The United Nations has hired you as a consultant on global issues.Many  of the UN members are not satisfied with the progress of the Millennium  Development Goals. They believe that the goals focus on the wrong  issues. There is a disconnect between the types of issues the developed  countries in the UN believe are priorities versus the issues that  developing countries of the UN want to prioritize. For example, the  country of Burundi has requested that one of the goals be focused on  food security. However, Austria is adamant that the major current global  issue is to mediate ceasefires within countries experiencing a civil  war.You  have been asked to provide an unbiased perspective and identify the  four issues that have the biggest impact on the global environment.Of the eight major threats listed below, choose the four that you consider the most critical.   Energy sources Civil war GlobalizationPoor health of entire populations Lack of educational opportunitiesCultural taboos  Inappropriate uses of technologyClimate changeYou  will present your findings at the next UN General Assembly.
