Subject : Climate change has become a major problem according to many. What is the current status, what is being done, who are the sustainable players (countries, companies, etc., and who are the non-believers? What is the prognosis?
You are writing these policy research papers in order to analyze a particular business issue and make policy recommendations. You may want to address your paper to a person or to an agency (e.g., President Trump, the Federal Reserve, Environmental Protection Agency, FDA, whatever) and make your recommendations realistic as to what that person or agency can accomplish. Do not be vague and say things like “reduce unemployment” or “achieve economic growth”– how would you recommend this be done? The more specific your recommendations, the better.
Choose a specific company or industry that faces a pressing environmental, social or economic issue. You should be choosing from the topic Since you have been keeping up with your reading and current events, you have (almost) the whole world to choose from. You should structure your paper according to the following format:
Section I – Background (1-2pp)
Describe the issue and summarize the economic/political/scientific background clearly and succinctly (pretend you are writing for an intelligent layperson). Is this a new issue, or an ongoing problem? Why? What are the causes of the problem, environmental/social/political/economic?
Section II – Analysis (4-6 pp)
Describe why the issue you have selected is important to the wellbeing of the company, industry or the region? Why should the recipient of your memo address this issue as soon as possible? Provide hard facts, not vague generalizations or predictions of doom.
Section III – Options (1-2 pp)
What sorts of options does your person/agency/government have in dealing with this issue? (“Do Nothing” may be an option as well.) List the pros and cons of each option, scientific, environmental, economic, and political/social – again, be specific.
Section IV – Recommendation (1 p)
Which option do you recommend and why? How would you mitigate that option’s negatives?
You need to cite any fact or argument that is not original (footnotes are preferable to endnotes) and you should use academic references like journal articles, books, and newspaper articles. Wikipedia is NOT an academic source, nor necessarily is any random web page – make sure your information comes from a reliable source. There are no minimum number of references, but make sure you have a variety of sources and that they are relatively up to date. Your paper should be about 7-11 pages (2x-spaced, 1-inch margins, 12 pt. font, etc.), excluding bibliography. Include maps, charts, or graphs as appropriate – if they are large, you can attach them as appendices. Using hard data and statistics always brings extra points!
When writing as a team, I need to see the name of the author for each section written. This prevents one person from writing the entire paper while another does not contribute. APA reference style. If your group has four members, your paper should be on the longer side.
Paper is due on TurnitIn no later than July 13.
Your presentation should be practiced and prepared and will require power points given to me before the presentation.
Use tutors to help you and proofread your paper! I expect college-level grammar and spelling. If I can’t understand what you are saying, I won’t be able to give you a good grade – make your paper easy for the professor to read.
Hello,
I need 3 pages of paper which corresponds to section 3 – Options (1-2pp) and section 4 – Recommendation (1 p).
U don’t need to care about Section 1 and Section 2.
In this essay, I’d like to bring some resources from the Biden government’s environmental policies and other environmental agencies. Also, I’d like to bring the electric vehicles and buses(Company ‘Proterra’) because I think it’s highly related to environmental issues.
