Description
This resource is one of 14 activities in Green Learning’s Decoding Carbon - A Climate Policy Quest, which explores how policy is used to build a low-carbon future. The activities are grouped by topics. Teachers or students can do any resources independently or bundle them together to take action.
In this resource, students will explore the impacts of climate change in Canada and around the world. Students will learn about the predicted impacts under different temperature increase scenarios and will produce posters to demonstrate what they have learned.
General Assessment
Recommendation of how and where to use it
This resource would be excellent to spark a discussion on the impacts of climate change in Canada and around the world. An excellent activity to introduce students to the IPCC’s assessment report and Canada’s Changing Climate Report which summarize the impacts of temperature increase beyond 1.5°C above pre-industrial times.
