This poster is about Climate Change: A Call to Action. This material can be used in mitigating Climate Change around the world.
This 90-minute lesson explores the various ways of using renewable energy to mitigate climate change through individual and collective actions. It is designed for upper intermediate/advanced English language learners (B2-C1 CEFR). The content is appropriate for college/university students and adults. The lesson plan includes an article, a presentation, and use of two websites/mobile apps. Students will reflect on an article and use Padlet to showcase ways to combat climate change with renewable energy. Later, they will create infographics through Canva to share on social media and display the printouts on college/university green boards to raise awareness and educate people.
Human-caused climate change represents one of the great environmental challenges of our time. As it is inextricably linked with issues of energy policy, a familiarity with the fundamentals of climate change is critical for those looking to careers in the energy field. To appreciate the societal, environmental, and economic implications of policies governing greenhouse gas emissions, one must understand the basic underlying science. METEO 469 serves to lay down the fundamental scientific principles behind climate change and global warming. A firm grounding in the science is then used as a launching point for exploring issues involving climate change impacts and mitigation.
