• The video discusses the economic benefits to stopping climate change by explaining the short term costs and long term returns on investment.

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. 
  

Additional 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

• 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.
