year 9 club 9 geographers

Year 9 geography students participated in a mock climate summit to show the difficulties in finding a global solution to climate change. Divided into groups each took on a different role, ranging from advanced nations to fossil fuel companies. They had to present and collaborate to generate influence they could then use to make alterations to the en-ROADS climate software, the same software that real policy makers use to make decisions about climate every day. Although they didn’t manage to stop the climate crisis due to the efficiency of the fossil fuels group, they did manage to slightly reduce its impact! The students understood their roles and hopefully took away the difficulty and nuance of a global problem requiring a global solution.
