Many aspects of our daily life can have a huge impact on our skin health. What we eat and how stressful our life is affects how healthy our skin is, as does ultraviolet (UV) light exposure from the sun. Good daily habits that can benefit the skin include drinking lots of water; eating fruits, vegetables, healthy carbohydrates and proteins; and making sure that we control or reduce our stress. Staying hydrated gives the skin the moisture it needs so it doesn't become dry and flaky. A healthy diet provides the nutrients that skin needs to stay strong and stretchy, and to regenerate itself. Reducing stress, either through lifestyle changes or relaxation techniques, can reduce the sensitivity of your skin. It's also important to remember to wear sunscreen or protective clothing to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

After the Pan African Institute for Development (PAID) received the mandate to mobilize over One hundred universities from sub Saharan Africa to attend the international Climate conference dubbed COP22, Marrakesh, 2016, there have been numerous calls at local and international level to do even more to save the climate and the COP 22 agreement and deal reached in France and prevent the risk of disaster that may affect humanity. However, the election of Donald Trump as the president to succeed Barrack Obama left many in doubt about his understanding and contribution to the global debate. While the rest of the world has approved the need to take sustainable action to curb the dangers of climate change, the US president has pulled his country out of the deal. Away from the political dimension there is increasing evidence of the link between climate change and conflict across the globe in the form of climate change and pastoralism affecting traditional coping mechanisms in farmer – herder relations and creating new forms of conflict.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

Question 1
Globalization has taken the world by storm and of late there has been a shift of balance of
political and economic power from the west to the East. What does it mean to the African
biodiversity?
GLOBALIZATION FROM WEST TO EAST-AFRICA'S BIODIVERSITY
LANDSCAPE
In the purview of the tenets of globalization as being the interconnectedness of people and
business across the world that eventually leads to global cultural, political and economic
integration, its consequential impact on biodiversity is certain. Moreover, of greater concern is
the effect of the shift of economic and political power from the West(Europe, Americas) to the
East (Asia and middle East countries) and particularly its impact on conservation efforts in
ecosystems to sustain biodiversity.
To foster the discussion on the implications of this shift on the African biodiversity landscape, its
imperative that we explore it along the major three prongs of globalization which are culture,
politics and economic realms.
Culture is a key component of globalization as it basically cuts across numerous aspects of the
society such as;religion,dressing,eating,traditions,entertainment and much more. In relation to
biodiversity for instance it has dual impact that is both positive and negative impact. The shift of
both political and economic power from the West to East will definitely trudge along with
cultural influence from the East which will replace or weaken established native Africans' own
cultural values or established western cultural aspects which have ramifications that affect
African biodiversity positively classical example is on the dietary cultural values where by there
seems to be distinct nutritional preferences in the East which are not popular or rather readily
acceptable in Africa such as the eating of reptiles such as snakes,dogs,snails and monkeys is
popular in Asia particularly in China which is a pivotal player in this shift. What this illustration
implies, is that closer ties with the East will result to emergence of endangerment of previously
2. unendagered species as a consequence of cultural influence or to supply needs of the cultural
practices of the citizens of the new giants of the global economic and political arena. On the
positive aspect, some species of both animal and plant kingdoms are considered sacred by the
people of the East thus they may be deliberate in fostering conservancy efforts of such species
and thus positively impacting the African biodiversity maintenance and sustainability.
The political faucet of this shift is also an indispensable critical area of analysis on as far as
African biodiversity is concerned. The shift of political power from the west to the East implies
the East will have vast influence on stipulation, adoption and implementation of policies that
foster conservancy efforts in ensuring promotion and maintenance of biodiversity at both
individual level of African countries and globally. This implies African leaders must brace
themselves to defend already existing policies on sustainability of biodiversity and only support
new ones that are wholesomely beneficial in the quest to promote biodiversity. The pursuit for
hydrocarbon fuels such as coal by the East should be muzzled due to its negative impact on
environment by accelerating global warming and subsequent alteration of biodiversity.
The shift of economic power from the West to the East implies funding of projects concerning
biodiversity is at stake as most sponsors have previously been from the West. This calls for
stakeholders in the biodiversity sector to review their fiscal policies to both sustain the previous
partners and to scout for new partnerships from the East to ensure sustained efforts in
maintenance and promotion of biodiversity .Bilateral and Multilateral partnerships with East
should also involve a raft of measures and conditions that will ensure conservation of
biodiversity is protected ,maintained and promoted where all infrastructural projects are
undertaken with funding and expertise from the East. In the economic shift also, Africa must be
keen not only to tap on technolocoloical inventions from the East but also to innovate its own
technologies for use in fostering biodiversity sustainability initiatives. Africa must also put in
place fiscal and strategic policies that will compel the East to significantly contribute to
improving and promoting biodiversity efforts in all trade and investment deals it jointly
undertakes with African states.
In conclusion, to advance conservation globally, we ought to ensure fairness, democracy based
on good legal, economic and social policies and rational and responsible use of scientific
advances thus maintaining and sustaining biodiversity effectively .
