In my eyes there isn't just one big environmental issue that is causing the world to fall apart but a combination of a few. Overpopulation of world mixed with the desire for developing and third world countries to become developed. And of course when you add greed into the mix, which i wouldn't say is an environmental issue in itself but when a very small percentage of people in the world own and/or control a majority of the worlds resources, it only makes things worse.
The combinations of these have a big part of most, if not all, environmental issues. To break it down, if there were less people who weren't greedy or striving for more and more, we would have less pollution, we would wouldn't be over fishing and over hunting and destroying our worlds diversity.
If i was given a 100 billion dollars to address a global issue, i would probably put it towards ways informing the world of these issues and lobbying. No matter what issue you try and fix, it wont really help. Try and feed the world? then there is just more people who now want a higher quality of life. Pollution? its just going to keep coming, could try and invent new technologies, but those would have to be profited off of, so it may help, but probably not. Unless the mind set of our species takes a dramatic turn, i don't think there is any right way to allocate the money.
