glacier melt. Accelerating changes
because of positive feedbacks
Conflicts over water crises
More vulnerable people plunged into
poverty
Environmental refugees
Worsening greenhouse effect

Reading

P 77 Philip Allan ‘Water shortages’
Physical water scarcity – lack of actual supplies of water to meet
demand
Economic water scarcity – poverty and lack of good governance mean
that water is not available to people who cannot afford it e.g. the
urban poor.
P78-79 Philip Allan ‘Food insecurity’
Food availability deficit – lack of available food for people to live a
healthy, active life due to physical factors, such as climate.
Food entitlement deficit – when there is adequate food available, but
the community or individual is too poor to access it.
