As one of the Generation 2040 team members, how should you proceed? What steps would you take, and what would be your priorities? b. What steps should the client take to ensure that the system is secure? Prepare a checklist with at least 5 security items that the client should evaluate and monitor

Answer:
Explanation:Over the past century, enormous progress has been achieved
worldwide in improving human welfare. Societies have changed
radically thanks to quantum leaps in technology, rapid urbanization, and innovations in production systems. Yet conditions in
today’s world are a far cry from the world ‘free of fear and want’ envisioned
at the foundation of the United Nations. Similarly, much remains to be done
to fulfil the vision of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations (FAO): to create ‘a world free of hunger and malnutrition and one in
which food and agriculture contribute to improving the living standards of
all, especially the poorest, in an economically, socially and environmentally
sustainable manner’.
Amid great plenty, billions of people still face pervasive poverty,
gross inequalities, joblessness, environmental degradation, disease and
deprivation. Displacement and migratory flows are at their highest levels
since the Second World War. Many armed conflicts have been resolved,
but new ones have emerged. Much of humanity’s progress has come at a
considerable cost to the environment. The impacts of climate change are
already being felt, and – if left unabated – will intensify considerably in the
years ahead. Globally integrated production processes have brought many
benefits, but present challenges in terms of their regulation and the need to
steer them towards more equitable and sustainable outcomes.
Population dynamics will radically change demographics over the
coming decades and towards the end of the century. Projected growth in the
world’s population is expected to be concentrated in Africa and South Asia
and in the world’s cities. By mid-century, two-thirds of the global population
will live in urban areas. Low-income countries will see large increments in
the 15-24 years age group. The population will continue to grow in South
Asia until mid-century, and in sub-Saharan Africa until at least the end of
the century. By the year 2100, Asia and Africa are expected be home to a
combined population of 9 billion, out of the projected 11 billion people who
will inhabit Earth.
