impacts of globalisation for countries,
different groups of people and cultures
and the physical environment?
3.4- The global shift has created
winners and losers for people and
the physical environment
Communities have experienced major environmental problems

in cancer and
cancer related
illnesses due to

creating consequences for people and
the physical environment

increase is responsible for the growth of
megacities, and rapid growth creates social
and environmental challenges
