Nicholas King , " Map of the Mississippi River from its Source to the Mouth of the Missouri , " in Zebulon M. Pike , An account of expeditions to the sources of the Mississippi : and through the western parts of Louisiana . Broadly , our agenda is to give a human face to environmental issues ; empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development ; promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues ; and advocate partnership which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future . Evidence of accelerating climate change in both Polar Regions , including notable shrinking of Arctic sea ice , continued to accumulate while current and planned expansion of commercial exploitation in both regions raised concerns for sustainability . Climate variability means the seasonal and annual variations in temperature and rainfall and their distribution within and between countries . In many developing countries , genderascribed roles entrenched within the social and cultural fabric mean that women and girls are often responsible for fuel collection and cooking . While urban areas offer considerable opportunities for employment , education and social services , and contribute substantially to national GDPs , they also have their own environmental problems . In 1844 , the brothers Attilio and Emilio Bandiera and a group of companions landed on the Sicilian coast in an attempt to trigger a spontaneous uprising within the kingdom of Naples ( also known as the kingdom of the Two Sicilies ) . International cooperation to promote research and development , mobilize investment , create markets or share experiences could form a powerful tool to strike while the iron is hot . Unlike Garibaldi , his subsequent career was anticlimactic and unsuccessful . This is an indication of policy failures which have to be addressed if Africa is to move towards sustainable development . Coping capacity increases as you move from the state of vulnerability towards security and vice versa , along the continuum . Both forests and woodlands play vital roles in supporting national economies and local communities through harvesting of resources , provision of habitats and services derived from the ecosystem . Falling yields , linked to poor extension and farming practices and to relatively higher costs of inputs , have encouraged farmers to expand production through extension , often into forests and woodlands . However , for studies which link vulnerability to scenario development , we need to be able to define the stress variables , such as people under stress for water or people living within a certain distance of a potentially dangerous hazard . The first cars typically increased the efficiency from 11 km per litre ( km / l ) to 17 km / l , while recent models have improved to 20 – 22 km / l. Various governments have introduced tax incentives to stimulate sales of hybrid cars . Alien invasive plants cause changes to freshwater availability and alter the diversity and abundance of species within ecosystems . On the fall of the republic , Bassi accompanied Garibaldi to San Marino : unlike Garibaldi , however , he was captured and handed to the Austrians . Poster art also utilized technical innovation through lithography . While primarily recognized as a poet , his career as an artist has increasingly been seen as significant . It illustrates , in Aguilar 's words , " the cares , anxieties , and ultimate reward of maternal love , " aiding " the education of the Heart " and pointing young women towards " the paths of rectitude and virtue . Energyrelated emissions are released through the entire spectrum of energy activities , from upstream emissions during fossil fuel extraction and production to end-use emissions from fossil fuels burned for transport , heating , cooking and the like . In some cases , the people who are worst affected by the negative impacts of energy-related emissions are the poorest , who have contributed the least towards them .
