2040 - Climate Solutions and Sustainability

These resources are part of the 2040 Film Education Resources created in collaboration with our partners GoodThing Productions and Regen Studios.

This Years 7-10 Geography unit, Climate Solutions and Sustainability, has been designed to

• immerse students in real-world solutions to climate change, such as sustainable transport, food security and alternative energy sources
• help students understand the key factors threatening future food security
• develop research and collaborative skills through engaging group activities
• explore the relationship between energy choices, transport options and liveability
• guide students through projects where they can consolidate and extend their learning
• encourage critical thinking about solutions to environmental challenges
• inspire positive action based on existing solutions to climate change.

The 2040 documentary demonstrates that solutions to climate change already exist—students will explore how these solutions can be implemented to create more sustainable, liveable communities while developing essential skills for collaborative problem-solving and environmental leadership.
