question and instructions are in the file

magine you have been hired as a consultant for the United Nations. You have been asked to write an analysis of how global population growth has caused the following problem and how it affects climate change or population growth in a developing country of your choosing:

A growing global population that consumes natural resources is partially to blame for the release of greenhouse gases since human consumption patterns lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and farming (overturned dirt releases CO2). However, the critical issue is the burning of fossil fuels (hydrocarbons) such as coal, oil, and natural gas to produce energy that is used for things such as electricity production, and vehicle, heating, and cooking fuels. 

The UN has asked that you choose a developing country from this list: https://www.mrs.org/developing-countries-list.

The UN has also given you the following guidelines. 

Content

The UN has asked that your paper contain three sections. It has asked that each section be one page (or approximately 300 words) in length and answer specific questions, identified in the outline below. The UN also asks that you use examples from your developing country when answering the questions. 

Introduction

Provide an introduction (a half-page minimum) that addresses points a-e below.

1. Explains the problem the UN has asked you to address in your own words; 
2. Identifies the three sections your paper will cover; 
3. Identifies the developing country you will consider; 
4. Tells the UN which causes of greenhouse gases you will explore; and 
5. Provides a one-sentence statement of your solutions at the end of your introduction paragraph. 

Section I. Background

1. What are greenhouse gases? 
2. How do greenhouse gases contribute to global warming?
    

Section II. How Emissions Cause Problems for the Developing World

1. Which countries produce the most greenhouse gases?  
2. What are the economic challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)? 
3. What are the security challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)? 
4. What are the political challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)?
    

Section III. Causes of Greenhouse Gases and Solutions to the Problems Greenhouse Gases Cause

1. Name two causes of greenhouse gases. 
2. What are the potential solutions that address each of the causes you identified? 
3. What is the relationship between population control and greenhouse gas emissions?
    

Conclusion

• Provide a conclusion (a half-page minimum) that includes a summary of your findings that the United Nations can use to inform future policy decisions. 

Success Tips

• In answering each question, use examples from your developing country to illustrate your points.  
• The UN needs facts and objective analysis on which to base future policy decisions; avoid personal opinion and make sure your answers are based on the information you find through research.  

Formatting Requirements

• Make sure your paper consists of four  PAGES
• Create headings for each section of your paper as follows:  
  • Section I. Background 
  • Section II. How Emissions Cause Problems for the Developing World 
  • Section III. Causes of Greenhouse Gases and Solutions to the Problems Greenhouse Gases Cause 
• Use and cite at least five credible sources in your research. A list of potential resources is available below. 
• Make sure your paper contains both in-text citations and a source list, per SWS guidelines: Refer to the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) document for reference.

Show Less

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

• Competency 1: Apply change management interventions. o Analyze learning as a team development facilitator.o Recommend team development enhancements that use learning disciplines to support future team learning.• Competency 2: Analyze applications of change management principles. o Explain change management and supporting theories.o Explain chosen disciplines and supporting theories.o Analyze how team experiences and session outcomes support chosen disciplines and change management theories.o Synthesize learning regarding team dynamics and the value of team development disciplines.o Identify resources containing the most important information related to change recommendations.• Questions to Consider 

To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.

• Think about a difficult change process that you have experienced: a downsizing, an acquisition, an introduction of new technology, the replacement and introduction of a new leader, being put in a new group, the creation of a new enterprise, and so on. Or think of a personal change, such as a change in a relationship or a new job. Consider how the DVFR factors (dissatisfaction, vision, first steps, and resistance) helped create change. What factors that made the change more difficult may have been involved? What would have been needed to overcome the missing elements?• At the completion of this assessment, consider what you have learned about change management and about yourself as a team facilitator.• Note: You will need to complete Assessments 1 and 3 before completing this assessment.

Integrate your understanding of change management and the use of the five disciplines for team development, based on your findings from your two team development sessions, to write an analysis of what you learned about change as a facilitator, and about yourself as a facilitator.

Include the following sections:

1. Theory of the five disciplines as a method of change:Describe a relevant theory of change management and two of the five disciplines. (You are not required to choose the same two theories that you used in your team sessions, but you may use them if you wish.) o Consider your audience as you choose your theory, and decide how to discuss it and what to present. Ideally, this audience would be the larger organization in which the team functions, but it could also be to the session team itself, members of an educational forum, or another group. Make judgment calls about the audience’s needs and setting. Note: After successfully completing this assessment, you may wish to actually present your paper to a professional audience at your organization, in order to demonstrate your own development.o Invent your own unique metaphor and use it to explain your chosen theory. That is, develop a graphic or verbal image of something familiar to explain an unfamiliar thing or process. An important part of considering an audience is to provide a powerful metaphor to help audience members understand and remember the relevant information. Causal loops and the ladder of inference are examples of graphic metaphors.2. Team development summary findings: Present your summary findings from the two team development sessions, in which you completed the team exercises. o Use the best stories and quotes from your session experiences to illustrate the disciplines and how they support change.o Synthesize your learning from the sessions about team dynamics and the value of the five disciplines for team development.o Illustrate some action statements made by your team and the subsequent changes you observed.3. What you have learned from facilitating both team-development sessions: o Write a section on your learning as a facilitator for the team development sessions. What worked? What did not work? What would you do differently next time?o How would you change your contract, your explanation of change management, the disciplines, the exercises, your exercise choices, or your behavior during the team sessions, in order to enhance the quality of the team learning?4. Recommendations: Provide your recommendations for enhancing team development in the future in a way that is practical, justified, memorable, and actionable for your team and your audience (ideally, the larger organization to which the team belongs). o Include some of your best quotes and stories from your session experiences as examples.o Show how your recommendations for building more effective teams will help the audience move closer to its preferred future.o Include some models from your learning about disciplines that support team learning.o Describe the potential power of using the five disciplines to support team learning.5. Learning resources: To assist your team in learning more about the change management process, list a selection of books, articles, Web resources, and organizations containing the most important resources you would recommend.

Additional Requirements
