Environmental challenges: climate

Enseignante : Karen Johnstone

We will use group activities, games and role-plays to explore the causes, mechanisms and consequences of climate change

Course description

We will use a mixture of lectures, debates, games, site visits and role plays to explore many dimensions of the climate crisis, including physical scientific but also social, economic and ethical questions.

Course objectives

Provide students with :

This framework will allow students to then:

  • Debate the risks and solutions in an informed way
  • View current affairs (COP, politics etc.) and social media information on climate change, through the lens of the scientific and social knowledge they have gained.
