[Virtual Presenter] Slide 1: World Issues: A Geographic Perspective This course introduces students to world issues from a geographic perspective, encouraging critical thinking and analysis. Geography helps us understand the connections between people, places, and the environment. For example, climate change affects global agriculture, which in turn impacts economies and societies. By studying world issues geographically, we see how interconnected global challenges are. This perspective allows us to approach solutions holistically rather than in isolation. Throughout this course, we will explore real-world examples to strengthen our understanding of these complex relationships..
