Year 7 Club 9 Geography, the climate change great debate.

On Tuesday 3 March 2026  Club 9 Geography students investigated the single greatest challenge of our time, climate change. A representative from GenEarth delivered a workshop to students about the causes of climate change, its global impacts and some solutions that ranged from country wide projects to small changes in lifestyle choices. Students were then assigned teams to debate whether the remedy to the problems of climate change lie in nature-based solutions or human engineering. After a period of independent research and preparation, fierce debating took place between teams of students each presenting statements, combatting rebuttals and fielding questions from the wider audience. The students were engaged throughout and have left with a better understanding of the role they might play in reducing the impacts of future climate change.
