Wicked Problem In The World

Wicked Problem Throughout the past few decades the public has been made aware of the many threatening environmental changes happening to the world. This domino effect has proven to be the world’s most wicked problem because of how quickly things tend to escalate. Climate change alone has proven to have the most relationships with other environmental issues happening across the world and that is due to the interdependence of each and every issue. The first step in actually solving this issue is to not only to acknowledge these relationships, but to figure out a solution that can be applied globally. Some of the few current environmental problems include: pollution, global warming, natural resource and ozone layer depletion, climate change,
loss of biodiversity and public health issues. According to Conserve Energy Future, “Climate change has various harmful effects but (is) not limited to melting of polar ice, change in seasons, occurrence of new diseases, frequent occurrence of floods and change in overall weather scenario.” The definition itself is quick to show how many environmental changes are caused or seen because of climate change. The same goes for other environmental issues, their definition or the impact it has is seen through the problem itself. The problems going on have proven to be interdependent of one another and that fact should not be taken with a grain of salt. It is so clear that these issues are damaging our world and precautions should be taken. Taking initiative and figuring out a global solution should definitely be prioritized. Even Pope Francis took part in this when he talked about climate change in his encyclical. In Laudato Si, Pope Francis “called for a radical transformation of politics, economics and individual lifestyles to confront environmental degradation and climate change.” Unlike many across the world, he sees the importance of a global solution to these environmental issues. It is clear that the issues are interdependent and because the impact is seen across the world the solution should be designed to be applicable everywhere. Climate change has to be one of the most threatening issues humans have seen and taking control over Mother Nature is not in the picture. A lot of damage has been done and all these problems popping up will only continue to flourish if actions aren’t taken. The problems have proven to bounce off one another and realizing that important relationship should definitely play a huge role when it comes to making a global solution. Neil Armstrong said that landing on the moon was a huge leap for mankind, but because of the current condition of the world, climate change has shown how our actions have been such a deteriorating leap for mankind.
