2. Managing change for a better world
Lesson Aims:
To know what can be done to address the economic and environmental problems created by globalisation.
To explore the viability of these strategies.

3. Living beyond our means
People in rich nations are used to having what they want.
Global supply chains fulfil these needs.
Often developing countries will divert resources away from their own needs to supply ours.
We now depend on the rest of the world to live beyond our environmental means.

4. This is unsustainable!!

5. World waking up Globalisation is undoubtedly partly to blame.
However globalisation also offers a possible solution!
Improved technology and access to technology has led to a greater awareness of world issues and the emergence of a global consequence.
