Localdecision-making doesn’t always lead to equitable outcomes,however; one of the weaknesses of decentralization is thatparochialism and local prejudice can flourish if unchecked.This suggests two requirements for building communityresilience if it is indeed to be organized at the local level
Debate Decentralization v Privatization
e challenges need to be understood in aglobal context. We organize them as a set of four distinctbut intertwined “E4” crises: ecological, energy, economic,and equity.
Community Resilience: People decide what the system (community) goals are based on their values. " This suggests that people — and the ways they come to rough consensus — are necessarily at the center of community resilience building"
EVIDENCE OF THE ANTHROPOCEN
Human activity has: • Pushed extinction rates of animals and plants far above the long-term average. The Earth is on course to see 75% of species become extinct in the next few centuries if current trends continue. • Increased levels of climate-warming CO2 in the atmosphere at the fastest rate for 66m years, with fossil-fuel burning pushing levels from 280 parts per million before the industrial revolution to 400ppm and rising today. • Put so much plastic in our waterways and oceans that microplastic particles are now virtually ubiquitous, and plastics will likely leave identifiable fossil records for future generations to discover. • Doubled the nitrogen and phosphorous in our soils in the past century with fertiliser use. This is likely to be the largest impact on the nitrogen cycle in 2.5bn years. • Left a permanent layer of airborne particulates in sediment and glacial ice such as black carbon from fossil fuel burning.

From 2012 to 2019, Syria lost 20.4% of all tree cover (Pax, 2020), much of the loss occurring in the governorates of Lattakia and Idlib, which lost 10% and 27% of tree cover area respectively between 2011 and 2014 (or 89% of the total tree cover loss in Syria). Depletion of forest cover has been linked to a variety of different socio-economic factors related to the conflict, including frequent forest fires, illegal logging, agricultural expansion, charcoal production, and the weakness of state institutions in managing natural resources and environmental development.
Discuss how environmental conditions havecontributed to the Syrian refugee crisi
environmental damage is not just an effect but also a driver of the conflict. Poor environmental conditions in Syria before the war have been identified as a primary factor contributing to the armed conflict,
It is, rather, that our industrialsystem has developed so that substances extractedfrom the earth and produced by society will continueto build up indefinitely in natural systems. That meansa systematically increasing concentration of pollutantsand substances that not only harm us directly butdamage natural processes that have taken billions ofyears to develop
we cant rid society of all materials extracted from the earth
ECOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES
Understanding these facts requires first understanding the patterns and processes by which nature sustains life, including networks, nested systems, cycles, flows, development, and dynamic balance.
