Effects on human societies
Scarce natural resources can lead to conflicts and disagreements over their access, such as water in Ethiopia, which according to OXFAM, multinationals exported nearly 2 million dollars of products requiring a lot of water (meat, flowers, etc.) to the northern countries between 2021 and 2021, and all this to the detriment of local populations who have been living with historic droughts since 2017. This opportunism is considered a serious violation of fundamental rights and is favorable in countries where regulations are poorly applied.
Economic crises linked to resource depletion.
The lack of one or more resources can have repercussions on the economy of a country. Indeed, the global oil crisis of 1973 caused high inflation and equally high unemployment. These events therefore changed the global economy. This is explained by the global dependence on oil.
