Climate Change TV News Report
This role-play activity gets students to explore the affect climate change is having on people all over the world by comparing different media reports and making their own television news reports to present to the group. In small groups students consider what makes a good news report and create their own, taking on roles of newsreader, correspondent and interviewee.
C02 Supply Chain Game
In this activity students investigate the carbon footprint of the electronics industry. Looking at the example of an mp3 player, students critically analyse whether it’s the consumer, the country producing the product, or the company who sells the product, that should be held responsible for the resulting carbon emissions.
Climate Justice Game
In this activity students will explore which countries are the most responsible for climate change with a guessing game looking at the average carbon footprint per person. Students will compare and contrast their findings with who they think will be most affected by climate change and discuss the concepts of climate justice and climate debt.
How can I reduce my Carbon Footprint?
This game aims to show students how they produce carbon emissions, how they can easily be reduced and to allow them to explore the conflict between reducing an individuals carbon emissions and maintaining their lifestyle. Through group work and discussions, it will allow students to start thinking about who makes the decisions on how much carbon is emitted and whether their actions will help.
