Top 5 World Problems

Top 5 Problems
1) Rapid Climate Change
2) World Poverty
3) The Increasing Global Population
4) Global Water Crisis
5) Species Exintction

I believe rapid climate change is the most imminent threat to our species as such widespread weather changes could cause effects worldwide. This problem poses as much of a threat to a billionaire and a homeless person. Weather does not discriminate. World poverty is second. This is because it is such a huge problem and affects millions of people. This also causes great instability in many countries. This issue, I believe, is not as imminent as the first two. Although, in a few decades, this could prove to be the world's largest problem by a long-shot. This problem is similar to world poverty in that it is causing many people to live terrible lives and even die from lack of water. Again, this problem is not as imminent as the first two, I believe. Species extinction is something we face even today. It is extremely widespread and difficult to control. Although I picked this as the fifth problem because it has the most implementable solution

Ranked Solutions
1) Construct more preservation and national parks in which endangered species are protected. Also crack down on poaching with anti-poaching services employed by the government. Also enact laws to help prevent and eventually stop environmental destruction for industrial use.
2) Make agriculture more sustainable and improve our systems to convert reclaimed water into drinking water. Also expand our research into converting salt water into fresh drinking water.
3) Provide international help to provide food and services to improve the areas. Also have companies to provide more job opportunities.
4) A reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases can help preserve our ozone layer as much as possible to help stop the melting of the polar ice caps. Unfortunately, a big problem with pollution is methane from cows and may be something that cannot be stopped due to the world's reliance on the animals.
5) Although there is no permanent solution once the population gets high enough but to develop more land to be 'livable' and organize cities more efficiently.

I believe the solution to solving species extinction is the most implementable for many reasons. Firstly, it can be handled generally on a species-by-species level. Laws can be made for specific animals and specific areas of land to be protected. In hand there can be people employed to protect these said areas of land. Making agriculture sustainable globally will take a long while. However there have been many recent advances in converting saltwater to fresh drinking water in an efficient matter. Solving world poverty is no small issue although with help from western countries and true commitment the problem is starting to slow down slightly. Trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is a huge problem. So many countries use machines and have industries that emit these gases. Reorganizing cities and making land that seems uninhabitable, habitable is a huge issue. This is an issue that I do not believe can be implemented easily and it will take a very, very long time.
