The world’s urban population will rapid increase in the next few year, so the negative effects caused by climate change in cities should be solved necessarily. This essay outlines the major negative impacts by climate change, and evaluates three possible solving measures in many developing countries. The essay argues that three effective solutions are able to solve the problems of climate change in developing countries. Climate change negatively affects the urban in developing countries. The first environmental effect of climate change is a rising sea level. Rosenzweig et al. (2010, p.910) survey that city should obviously contributed to 71% of global energy-related greenhouse-gas. Most chief cities in developing country are located in low altitudes or near the seaside, which are brought calamities by the climate change.

...We read and hear so much about protecting the environment, because many different environmental issues are beginning to make a profound impact on Earth. One of those environmental issues is Climate Change. However, one question that we constantly ask is, ‘Why is this so important?’. Climate change is already beginning to transform life on Earth. Around the globe, seasons are shifting, temperatures are climbing and sea levels are rising. And meanwhile, our planet must still supply us – and all living things – with air, water, food and safe places to live. If we don't act now, climate change will rapidly alter the lands and waters we all depend upon for survival, leaving our children and grandchildren with a very different world. Along with the alteration of our land and many other negative transformations, climate change comes with numerous other threatening consequences. Examples of these include endangerment of wildlife, increase of heat related diseases and illnesses, stronger storms and increased storm damage, and economic losses. Each and every one of these effects can cause numerous intense impacts to the way we live today, and as mentioned, for our descendents in the future. Gases emitted by power plants, automobiles, deforestation and other sources are warming up the planet, and contributing to rising temperatures. In fact, according to scientific records and meteorologists, the five hottest years on record have all occurred since 1997 and the 10 hottest since 1990...

You will do this by working through the four elements of this unit set out below. 1. Communicate organisational mission and goals 2. Influence groups and individuals 3. Build and support teams 4. Demonstrate personal and professional competence Your analysis needs to consider the range of theories and practices of leadership explored during the subject (ideally using a minimum of two theories and four chapters). Your work must strongly reflect the material covered in this subject - but our focus is on your view of its practical application. You may analyse leadership in your current or previous workplace, an experience of leadership you may have had in an organisation or, if this is not possible, your thoughts on effective organisational leadership. You need to ensure your analysis is critical: that is that it looks both at the strengths and weaknesses of leadership strategies and that evaluates the effectiveness of your own or other’s leadership approaches. Analysing organisational leadership Introduction In this task, we look at how we interpret and analyse organisational leadership.

...Every company or organization must be aware of all the risks that can occur. In order to do this, a risk assessment must be conducted. In the military, I must work to provide information to my leadership in order for them to assess a risk or threat from occurring. By understanding the risk assessment process it will provide a guideline on the thought process it will take in order to assess the risks within my organization. The risk assessment process provides an idealistic view of how senior leaders and executive will utilize information in determining their decisions on determining the appropriate course of action in response to a threat (NIST, 2011). The first component in a risk assessment process is to create a frame for a risk. This means that the senior leaders must come up with established guidelines as to how threats will be dealt with on every level within the organization. The second component is to assess the risk or threat. In order to do this, three sets of information must be gathered; what is the immediate threat, what the impact on the organization is, and what vulnerabilities will be affected by the threat. The third component is the process to respond to a risk. This is where senior leadership and the organization’s executives must determine the course of action in order to respond or counteract against a threat. The fourth component of the risk assessment process is to monitor the risk. This is the long term procedures that an organization must take in order...

...Q1. Understanding Human Behavior is critical to organizations - discuss the benefits of self evaluation/self assessment as it relates to leaders today. Effective leadership is one critical aspect for organizations today. Pursuing high levels of effective leadership, leaders need to measure their skills and capabilities against different leadership dimensions. This will help leaders to spot dimensions that need enhancement and others that need development. This paper will discuss the benefits of leader’s self-assessment of different dimensions with focus on those related to understanding human behavior. Self Assessment Techniques: Different techniques of self-assessment have been developed. As (Clawson, et al., 2000:4) stated ‘There are many theories about the elements that make up leadership’ hence self assessment technique differ in terms of leadership dimensions measured. Another factor is the methodology used for each technique. Among the different techniques one can identify the Leadership Steps Assessment (LSA) developed by (Clawson, et al., 2000)Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), 360 assessment and many more. LSA will be considered as a sample in this paper. Leadership Steps Assessment (LSA) LSA models the leadership using six dimensions, which defines the components of leadership which, as (Clawson, et al., 2000:4) proposed were: 1. Clarifying one’s center. 2. Clarifying what is possible. 3. Clarifying what others have to contribute. 4. Supporting others so they...

I was team leader, consistently exceeding my individual quality and productivity goals. In 2009, the district manager sought an experienced lead tech for the Claims Coordinator position and eventually recruited me. The purpose of this paper is to determine the position I would best fit within the company assuming USIC is again expanding and restructuring (University of Phoenix, 2012).

Instead, I work with my colleagues, often supervisors, in gathering the...
