Global Threats Classification

II. Natural – involves natural disasters that are not attributable towards human actions. They are a result of natural cycles.

• Geological

• Biological (disease and epidemics)

• Cosmic

III. Socioeconomic - involves problems that arise due to societal and economic shortcomings.

• Hunger

• Human rights violation

• Poverty

• Overpopulation

• Terrorism

• Wars

• Crime

We are looking for devoted and motivated individuals to help us break down the classification of Global Threats into smaller, manageable issues.

As a future initiative we are planning to work hand in hand with professionals and scientists in order to approach the issues on a higher and more professional level.
