This unit allows students to explore the topic of climate change as well as its causes and impacts with the aim of building their climate literacy and understanding. The unit aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to critically analyse climate issues, fostering a sense of empowerment in addressing global climate challenges.
Students will gain an understanding of critical concepts such as the greenhouse effect, the carbon cycle, climate modelling and climate science communication. They delve into the interconnectedness of Earth's systems and the impact of human activities on rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Students also explore innovative technologies driven by climate science, which are aimed at mitigating and adapting to climate change challenges, culminating in the creation of models representing sustainable solutions in various sectors such as food, energy, transportation, and urban design.
