THE QUESTION –
Assume the year is 2050 – about 30
years from today. Describe the key climate change
conditions you see in 2050 in generally descriptive terms and in
terms of the RCP levels closest to those conditions. Engage
the four “linking themes” of Food, Energy, Water and Human Health
and provide key emergent indicators for the description of the
policy, engineering and/or economic solutions determining those
future projections.
In this question, climate change is the
driving force influencing connections between Food, Energy, Water and
Health. It assumes a rather general level of analysis for
each of the theme areas, but requires a characterization of how
climate change influences the four themes and how change within and
between the themes is synergistic and dynamic. Further, we do not
feel it possible to assess fully this question if you try to build
your argument of the influence of climate change on the linking
themes generally and at the global level. You will need to find a
more limited and bounded view of this question that affords you the
ability to build some detail into the analysis. This means limiting
the geography or focusing on one of the four themes as the primary
connection to climate change with the other three linking themes
assessed as “secondary” or “associated” consequences.
