12、rlds population was living in towns and cities. And as a recently published paper shows, the process of urbanization will only accelerate in the decades to comewith an enormous impact on biodiversity and potentially on climate change.As Karen Seto, the lead author of the paper, points out, the wave

This is especially so in desperately poor countries, where residents in the countryside slash and burn forests each growing season to clear

But the real difference is that in developing nations, the move from rural areas to cities often leads to an accompanying increase in incomeand that increase leads to an increase in the consumption of food and energy, which in turn causes a rise in carbon emissions. Getting enoug

Some companies dismiss job seekers from specific regions due to the regional stereotypes(成见), like “Central Chinas Henan Province is the cradle of liars” and “people from Nort
