Nauru is a small oval shaped island in the Pacific Ocean. It is ruled by the UK, New Zealand, Australia but gets little say in its own governance. The population is approximately 13,000 people; not including the nearly 1,200 refugees held for resettlement in their detention center. The land area is 21 km2 with a 30 km coastline. Nauru is often cited in studies of climate change because of its relative position to the equator, small island topography, dependence on fishing, and lack of natural resources.
Nauru is 25 miles south of the equator. Being so close to the equator Nauru is in a prime position to measure climate change since there is little fluctuation in day to

Without a grasp of the need or the will to change awareness, we will not succeed in realising the principle of sustainability in agriculture.
It is upon the decision-makers in politics to create the right framework and the pre-conditions for a sustainable development in agriculture. Global involvement, on the other hand, must not be left out of account.

Explain sustainability. What is it?
Sustainability is to able to maintain life and resources used in our daily lives for future uses. It also teaches us to preserve non-renewable resources as long as we can because it would run out eventually. Things that we might not have access to in the future includes coal, oil and natural gas. To help keep these resources as long as possible it would be helpful to start using renewable resources such as the wind, geothermal and solar energy as they could naturally be replaced. To be able to maintain our resources it would make a difference if there are less forests being removed, recycling and using sustainable

Starbucks seeks a price premium from differentiation in that at Starbucks it is not just about the coffee, it is about a place, an experience. In analyzing differentiation, Starbucks should look at both the demand-side and the supply-side.

From 1990 to 2017, Turkeys HDI increased by 36.6 percent. From Table 1, it can be drawn that the majority of the enhancement is driven by rising incomes, not health and education. Turkish government healthcare expenditure was 3.3% of GDP in 2017 while that of OECD countries' average was 6.5% (OECD Stat 2019). Domestic and regional instability also hindered the improvement of healthcare and education in Turkey (OECD 2017). A disparity between the performance of knowledge and health and economic growth would impede the socioeconomic sustainability of Turkey.
