I stumbled upon an interesting website that I keep returning to: the Global Issues Webguide from The World Revolution.
The World Revolution is an idea for a new, global activist social movement for progressive social change. It aims to resolve in a definitive and comprehensive manner the major social problems of our world and our era. Major issue areas of the World Revolution include: peace, human rights, the environment, and world poverty.
The Global Issues Webguide is a comprehensive resource that covers a wide range of topics including access to medicines, aging, aids, biodiversity, child labor, climate change, coral reefs…the list in almost inexhaustible. While it may sound extremely broad, I like the way they founders have included all these diverse topics in a way that shows how these global issues are interconnected.
Each category is detailed with links, resources, organizations, websites, articles and research. Coral reefs, environment, climate change, forests, mountains, oceans and coast, population and water all have their own sections with overviews, key facts and key resources.
I really like the understated way that the information is presented. The pictures are engaging, the links are extremely useful and there’s no hype. It’s definitely worth checking out if you are interested in finding a good portal to environmental issues.
