• Environmental degradation is a serious concern.
• It is defined as any change or disturbance to the environment perceived to be
deleterious or undesirable.
• These such as biodiversity loss some time aggravate climate change impacts such
as food insecurity – need therefore to be managed in a holistic and integrated
manner
What Is Environmental Degradation?

These include: degradation of land, wetland and water bodies, forests,biodiversity loss, arsenic contamination in ground water, surfacewater pollution, air pollution, solid waste disposal problems in citiesand towns, salinity intrusion in coastal zone and many localised ones.

How Environmental Degradation Occurs:
Environmental changes are based onmany factors including:UrbanizationThe Population ExplosionIntensification of agricultureIncrease in energy useIncrease in transportation

World energy consumption refers to the total energy used by all of human civilization. Typically
measured per year, it involves all energy harnessed from every energy source applied towards humanity'sendeavors across every single industrial and technological sector, across every country. Being the powersource metric of civilization, World Energy Consumption has deep implications for humanity's social-economic-political sphere.
