Environment & Biodiversity, Sustainable Development
Environment - the air, water, soil, and plant and animal life - is constantly changing as natural processes and human actions affect it.
Biodiversity - Biodiversity is the variety of all living things, life on Earth and the natural patterns it forms; the different plants, animals and micro organisms, the genetic information they contain and the ecosystems they form
Sustainable Development -- balancing the fulfillment of human needs with the protection of the natural environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but in the indefinite future

Terrorism and War
According to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), terrorism is use of force or violence against persons or property in violation of the criminal laws of the United States for purposes of intimidation, coercion, or ransom.
Terrorists often use threats to:
-Create fear among the public.
-Try to convince citizens that their government is powerless to prevent terrorism.
-Get immediate publicity for their causes.
Acts of terrorism include threats of terrorism; assassinations; kidnappings; hijackings; bomb scares and bombings; cyber attacks (computer-based); and the use of chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological weapons.
