Teaching Materials
Positives
- It is a very positive video that focuses on how we can stop climate change in the near future using only existing solutions.
- Complex data and ideas are represented visually in graphs and charts to aid in student understanding.
Prerequisites
- Students should have a basic understanding of climate change and its causes, since the video focuses on solutions only.
- This is the fifth video in a series of six videos from Project Drawdown called "Climate Solutions 101."
Differentiation & Implementation
- In a science class, students could further investigate the climate change solutions mentioned in the video using this table also from Project Drawdown.
- This video could be used as an introduction to the En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator that is an interactive way for students to explore the impact of various climate change solutions.
- The graphs and charts from the video are available on the website and could be used in a science, math, or economics class to practice analyzing and interpreting data.
- There are additional videos, links, and graphics that could be used to supplement the video or as an extension.
The videos presents climate policies and measures the economic cost of adopting climate solutions to divest fossil fuels and combat climate change. These smart choices are insightful and recommended for teaching.
