About the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

What is it?

So, what can we do?

Imagine a future with no carbon emissions

The report describes five possible climate futures, where #1 is not great and #5 is extremely bad, based on our current and past emissions, and our actions going in the future.

But whatcould our future look like if we took current technologies and efforts to their best possible outcome? 

In this opening lesson, students imagine our best possible carbon future and write a creative piece exploring that world.
