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.
Students will use the background information provided to summarize the Climate Change Agreements that Canada has been part of. They will then journal responses reflecting on the following question:
- Are global climate agreements necessary to meet collective climate action goals - why or why not?
By the end of this activity, learners will have explored Canada's efforts to address climate change while becoming familiar with Canada's climate agreements.
