Lesson Plan Grades 9-12 Created by SubjectToClimate teachers

Synopsis

In this lesson, students explore the effectiveness, co-benefits, and equity of climate solutions and create a climate action scenario to limit global warming to 1.5°C using Climate Interactive’s En-ROADS simulator.

Step 1 - Inquire: Students wonder about the composition of the atmosphere and analyze the relationship between global temperature and atmospheric CO2.

Step 2 - Investigate: Students become familiar with the En-ROADS simulator and explore the real-world impact of different climate actions, including the co-benefits, equity considerations, and effect on global temperature.

Step 3 - Inspire: Students create an En-ROADS scenario of effective and equitable climate actions that limits the rise in global temperature to 1.5°C by the year 2100.
