How to handle long-term environmental impacts (1)
The environment is changing, the number one driver, or move personal change "program" or organizational. The environment brings the necessary conditions for change. E 'a paradox that could be the basis for this relationship, since the change, and especially the growth of enterprises also make changes to the environment. Companies need more "country" when the scope of their operation, to name but a relationship.
The limitation of space is one example that is clearlythe changing world. It is not just the price of land steadily increasing, but the easy availability of space is one of the biggest problems of our time. As a result, businesses and operations of government is trying to change their activities. One solution is the "U" space.
Such a change, if the scarcity of land increasingly a problem of simple changes that will affect our lives. Less obvious, but many otherChanges that go so slowly that we barely recognize the change and … this is the point, we are not really able to anticipate changes.
An example of this is the influence of climate change. We all talk about it, but its one of the most important elements in a position to do something to the effect of the change in the current business.
It is true, for example, that climate change is the result of less snow in the Swiss Alps and the mountains in Spain?
AStudio (snow related) shows the progressive influences, but on an annual volume not true message. The average depth of snow, the duration of continuous snow cover and the number of days to show snowfall in the Swiss Alps, all very similar trends during the period 1931/99, a gradual increase until 1980 in advance (with minor interruptions during the late 1950 and early 1970), followed by a statistically significant decrease towards the end of the century.(http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2003IJCli..23..733L)
Visible evidence of climate change becomes apparent when you see an old movie. Recently, the Spanish television aired "Carmen, de La Ronda", a film recorded in 1959 in the region of Ronda, in the province of Malaga () http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052675/. To look like an old movie you've undergone the experience of climate change, in this case, that the train has entered the territory of southern Spain. And if weHard to believe that the expectations of the country could be transformed into a true desert.
Important is the question of how to deal with these situations occur when the change is short term and does not affect the invisible but potentially lead to long-term problems?
