Futures literacy

Students revisit the concept of scenarios they have encountered in previous lessons. They imagine stories of possible futures. It is a good opportunity to project themselves into a positive world under climate stress.

Urban Heat Islands

Using a multimedia animation, students understand what urban heat islands are. They differentiate mitigation and adaptation scenarios, as well as their trade-offs and gains regarding the SDG’s.

Class activities

Building scenarios and observing model responses

Students make choices and adjust parameters to build different scenarios. They look at projections to assess the impact of their choices. The scenarios they will build depend on choices made by farmers and the responses are based on biology. Similarly, IPCC scenarios are based on societal choices, and the climate responses are based on science.

Land food webs

Find the names of each species and try to find out who eats who in six different continental ecosystems. Then visualize the impact of climate change or human activities on these networks.
