hydropolitics is a type of geopolitics. both are about tensions/relationships between countries in regards to geography.

hydropolitics is about conflict over water- sudan/kashmir but it is a type of geopolitics because it involves countries negotiating/arguing over a geographical component. idk if this makes sense
Does anyone think future energy solutions might come up?
I hope so because it seems like only thing I'm decent at!!
Also does fracking release less CO2 than burning coal right?

What are the MEA predictions for Biodiverisy and could these be linked to a question in anyway?

-impossible to predict the changing stucture of the global economy.
-growth of the BRICS and how they will cause a global shift
-hard to predict population growth and as such where demand will lie
-then I would probs say something about international pressures to switch from fossil fuels

Less likely however talk about the contrasting political systems:

China - one party (historically communist) state
India - democratic country with elections etc.

Just explain the implications of these systems on the countries socially, economically etc.
Any predictions for energy and water?

thanks!
Fact:

The U.S is diverting investment away from china because of :

increasing labour costs
intellectual property theft
inconsistent labour laws
polluted air

FDI to India was at $31 billion for the first two quarters of 2015 compared to China's $28 billion.

India is showing great investing potential.
US TNC's like Emerson Electric rely less on labour and use more and more machinery instead.
You can relate the "nutritional transition" to negative effects for the environment.
How did everyone find the exam? Section B was absolutely horrible, not at all the questions I thought would come up!

I didn't like part B question b - the political one. What did you guys put for synoptic links for that one. I couldn't think of many:/

How did you guys find the exam? I did energy and development gap as I thought the source for water was absolutely shocking! the synoptic question on SPI was also awful! anyone have any other opinions?

It could have been better. What did you write for development part b as i did it about bilateral, multilateral, humanitarian aid. But not sure if it was just top-down and bottom-up.
Also found pre release part c confusing!
