Table of Solutions

• This interactive table of climate solutions lists individual solutions and their potential ability to reduce global emissions. Data presented is in possible gigatons of CO₂ equivalent reduced/sequestered from 2020-2050. 
• It allows you to sort the solutions by their reduction impact so that you can see which solutions have the biggest potential effect on lowering carbon in the atmosphere. 
  

Positives

• This is a fantastic way to sort through many different solutions to climate change and bring more awareness to the best possible solutions.
• Students can click on each solution to learn more.
  

Additional Prerequisites

• It provides data for two emissions scenarios: emissions reduced/sequestered from a 1.5°C increase in temperature or a 2.0°C increase in temperature.
• Your students may not be familiar with the impact of some of the top solutions like reduced food waste, health and education, and plant-rich diets.

Differentiation

• Social studies and civics classes could use this resource as a reference when discussing national and global actions and laws that could reduce the negative impacts of climate change. 
• Science classes could use this resource to investigate the top solutions in more detail and to see how many of the best solutions are related to restoring nature, land use changes, alternative energy generation, and stopping the use of certain chemicals.
• Other resources related to this topic include this interactive data resource about agriculture, this video about educating girls and women, and this video to future generations.
