The ecological footprint is linked to the environment, and the environment is totally linked to the economy, so if my ecological footprint is high, I'm going to be causing environmental impacts, and that changes a country's economy into several factors, one of them is the loss of non-renewable products such as minerals and energy sources
Climate change is totally linked to the power of a country, and it can cause its imbalance in several factors, for example in agriculture, if it does not rain, it has no way of harvesting or planting anything, and they can intensify drought in some places, and this causes the imbalance of power within a country.

Good point! I like the connections you made between ecological footprint and the country's economy - " The ecological footprint is linked to the environment, and the environment is totally linked to the economy, so if my ecological footprint is high, I'm going to be causing environmental impacts, and that changes a country's economy".
Your second point is equally good. Drought indeed has the potential to cause power imbalance in some countries as it may cause some people to misbehave. In addition to that, do you think leaders of other countries have a say on how some environmental resources in Brazil are used? Do you know of any agreement Brazil has with other countries with regards to the use of resources like Timber? Has Brazil signed an agreement with any countries that allows the said countries to do as they please with Brazil's vegetations?
