Description

This unit teaches pupils about the evidence, causes and impacts of climate change. Pupils learn that climate change is not just a recent trend but that it has occurred natuarlly over geological time. Pupils will also learn about the strategic options associated with mitigation and adaptation.

This unit naturally builds on pupils prior knowledge gained from studying weather hazards in the previous unit. Climate change underpins many of the issues considered in subsequent units, such as global economic development, energy resources and urban planning.

  1. Evidence for climate change in the Quaternary period
  2. Natural and human causes of climate change
  3. Effects of climate change on people and the environment
  4. Managing climate change – mitigation
  5. Managing climate change – adaptation
