PART A. Introduction (approx. 150 words).
This introduces your case study report, identifying which focus (e.g. natural environment or food) and country you will be describing. It should outline what you will be discussing in relation to this case study report that is, the environmental impacts on your chosen country in relation to food or the natural environment, the initiative chosen and that you will be using the Sustainability Wheel of Fortune to assess the project’s sustainability. This section provides an overview of your entire case study report.
PART B. Discuss the environmental impacts on food or the natural environment for your country (approx. 550 words).
For this section you will need to SELECT one of the following topics
- The natural environment
- Food
You will be discussing3 environmental issuesthat are impacting on food or the natural environment for your country.Climate changemust be one of the three issues. As an example, if you have chosen Australia and food is the area - you would choose 2 environmental issues in relation to food in Australia. One example could be food waste, the other transport (food miles) the third issue would be climate change.
Use the relevant info-graphic below to guide you on what 2 environmental issues to choose (remember the
third one
must be on climate change).
I've demonstrated this is dot point: Three environmental issues in relation tofood(remember to use the food infographic below to choose 2 issues):
- Waste
- Transport
Climate change
Here is an example in relation to thenatural environment(remember to use the natural environment infographic below to choose 2 issues):
- Land use change
- Extinction of fauna
Climate change
PART C. Select ONE positive sustainability initiative (from the list below) that is currently being implemented to address food or natural environment issues
in your country
(approx. 150 words).
- First, select your sustainability initiative from the list provided.
- Briefly describe the initiative: where is it and who is involved.
- Describe what the initiative has achieved.
- Provide a website link in this section to theinitiative so that teaching staff can access it if necessary. This must be referenced in the body of the report and included in your list of references.
The list of initiatives can be found here:List of initatives
PART D. Assessing the sustainability of your chosen initiative (approx. 500 words).
In this section, use the Sustainability Wheel of Fortune (SWoF) below to assess whether the initiative is using the 5 principles to contribute to a more sustainable future. You will also need to reference the SWoF.
PART E. Conclusion (approx. 150 words).
Make a concluding statement that summarises your case study report. This should include the environmental impacts on your chosen country in relation to food or the natural environment. This part also will outline how effective you believe the sustainability initiative is in promoting a more sustainable future.
REFERENCING
You must cite aminimum of 9 scholarly references. One of these must be theIPCC Report (2022).
