Problems and Reflections Arising from Inequality in Natural Resources

Yanran Huang

Abstract


This article explores the problems brought about by the inequality of natural resources, including environmental pollution, conflicts between countries, unbalanced national development, political polarization and de-globalization. The article first points out that the unequal distribution of natural resources leads to environmental problems. Secondly, the inequality of resources is one of the main cause of conflicts between countries. In addition, the inequality of resources will also lead to the unbalanced development of countries, which in turn triggers political polarization and de-globalization, affecting the normal operation of global trade. The article also emphasizes the importance of international cooperation and the negative impact of political polarization on international cooperation. Finally, the article calls on countries to support each other, strengthen international trade, achieve the global circulation of resources, and pay attention to sustainable development and green development.
