Teaching Climate Change: From the Green Deal to Your Carbon Footprint
Turning SDG 13 (Climate Action) and the European Green Deal into a classroom carbon-footprint lesson that runs across more than one subject.
About this course
A fourteen-year-old cannot act on “the planet is warming”, but they can act on a number about themselves. This week turns SDG 13 and the European Green Deal into that number, and into a lesson you can actually teach. Monday — you work through the causes and everyday realities of climate change.

Methodology
In the lessons you design, each policy idea reaches students as a number before it is named as policy — they calculate first, then learn what SDG 13 and the Green Deal call it.
Participants are encouraged to apply what they learn directly in their own school and classroom context.
Practical activities and resources help you convey climate concepts to students of different ages and subjects.
What you'll take home
Explain SDG 13 and the European Green Deal, and translate them into classroom-ready material.
Calculate a personal carbon footprint and guide students through the same process as a climate-literacy entry point.
Build a genuinely interdisciplinary climate lesson spanning science, geography and at least one more subject.
Judge a school climate-awareness campaign with questions drawn from real campaigns and their published results.
