Overview
Inside Education and Change for Climate Edmonton want to bring climate change awareness, mitigation, and adaptation education to your classrooms as a part of the City of Edmonton’s Climate Prepared Schools project!
This one-hour program will explore the following topics:
- What is climate change, and how are human actions playing a part in a changing world?
- What are the climate projections for Edmonton? How could these predictions impact our day-to-day life?
- Examples of resilience and adaptation within Edmonton:
- The development of Blatchford, a carbon-neutral community
- Edmonton’s Community Energy Transition Plan
Students will be challenged with developing a proposal plan for a climate change-resilient community within Edmonton. The activity will encourage students to find a balance between environmental sustainability and the achievement of community values and goals, while effectively allocating financial resources.
Please Note: This program is currently only available to schools within the City of Edmonton
