The Project
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to sustainable development. The last five years have been the warmest on record since 1880. Sea levels are rising and more frequent natural disasters, such as cyclones and tropical storms, are threatening people’s homes and livelihoods. Tackling climate change requires action at all levels of society, from individuals and educators to policy makers and businesses. By promoting awareness, innovation and learning about climate change, communities and individuals can be helped to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt effectively to climate change. Lots of information and educational material on the climate have been published or can be found online. This documentation helps students understand the causes and consequences of climate change and allows them to take appropriate actions to adopt more sustainable lifestyles…
