Q1.    Identify and title a sustainability issue (different from Written assessment 1 and your Team Project) that addresses the socio-ecological aspect. In the introduction, include your concern on the socio-ecological aspect.
Air Pollution and Climate Change
Air pollution is closely linked to climate change. In addition to contributing to environmental change, the key source of Carbon dioxide emissions – the burning of fossil fuels is a major source of air pollution. Besides, many air pollutants are exposed to sunlight or released into the atmosphere, causing climate change. These include short-term forced air pollutants (SLCP) such as black carbon, methane, sulfate aerosols, and ground ozone. They have a significant impact on the environment: black carbons, including methane, are the main factors of global warming after carbon dioxide. Many of the issues mentioned above are not specific to biodiversity and ecosystem services (Witten, Blakely, Bagheri and Badland, 2012). Especially with other sectors related to flooding and coastal erosion, water quality and availability, changes in land use, pollution and invasive species. Also, the CCRA explains several social consequences: Many of the diseases that affect humans have also been found in the habitats of animals and plants. Increased pests and diseases can affect human health (O'Reilly, Allen and Reedy, 2018).
Economy
Management and control
"Many ecosystems have been partially managed and require sufficient human intervention to adapt to climate change."
Social attitudes
Da Consistency depends on public opinion and willingness, including changes in terms of economic valuation of the value of natural assets and non-market commodities.
The needs of the population
Changes in the size as well as the distribution of the population and the pressures associated with it, such as housing and education. It is expected that this will affect all bio assortment risks, such as species behavior, soil changes, the water quality of water. in particular, the increased risk of diseases and pests.
Global sustainability
§ Events such as wars, natural disasters, and economic crises affect global stability, and declining stability will put severe pressure on the government. Its impact on biodiversity is less important, as are other socio-economic factors, mainly reflected in the increased risk of pests and diseases from international trade, climate reduction plans and changes in the location or migration routes of species through local conditions during renovation or winter.
Distribution of wealth
network services such as recreation, tourism, as well as food production, the distribution of wealth affects sea-level increase and can lead to changes in coastal land use. Climate change mitigation plans may also be affected.
Consumer value
Value Consumer value is growing in the direction of creating wealth and raw materials or in the direction of recreation, and the focus on non-market products and services (such as protection) has affected many areas of biodiversity, especially through expansion. “exotic” has increased.
Q2.    What do you understand by the term“sustainable design”?Explain the different sustainable design criteria. Discuss how the issue that has been identified in Q1 can be mitigated by applying    sustainable design criteria.
Sustainable design aims to reduce the negative impact on the atmosphere and the comfort of construction owners and thus increase construction performance (5 Terms in Sustainable Design You Should Know, 2020). The main goal of sustainability is to decrease the usage of non-renewable resources, reduce the waste material and also create a healthy production environment.
Sustainable design principles include the following capabilities:
• Optimization of site potential;
• Minimum...
