Changing our Climate

What it covers

This unit provides students with an appreciation of climate impacts, mitigation and adaptation challenges, and awareness of questions of international equity and responsibility. Critical examination of the relationship between government, business and economy supports reflection on the role of power and self-interest in impeding climate action. Students learn from historical challenges to injustice and aid in the recognition and development of effective strategies for engagement. Consideration is paid to IPCC future emissions scenarios, and students are encouraged to envision a future of climate justice. Students further their skills in critical thinking, research, theoretical analysis, policy governance engagement, and problem solving for future challenges.
