Title: TASK: Exploring global climate impacts
Course: Project week - Leuphana-Copy > Section: What is renewable energy? (science focus)

Rising greenhouse gas concentrations in our atmosphere, higher temperatures, more aggressive climate - from afar the causes and effects of our changing climate may seem abstract and one can wonder what all of this has to do with our daily lives. Get to know concrete consequences and impacts of climate change in this task.

Task:

 Screenshot of the National Geographic feature on "5 Ways Climate Change Will Affect You", including the topics of water, crops, heat, weather, and health.

Explore some of the ways that climate change will affect you. Split up into small groups (up to five groups) and visit the National Geographic feature on "5 Ways Climate Change Will Affect You". The groups are:

1. Water
2. Crops
3. Heat
4. Weather
5. Health

Find out, what your selected issue is about:

- What happens?
- Who is affected?
- Where does it happen?
- How does it affect people's lives?

Share your findings with the other groups, for example in a group puzzle. Alternatively, you can prepare short class presentations.

As a course, produce a mind-map of the different climate change impacts that you have researched.

[fa-comments-o] You can collect and discuss your findings in the Course Forum.

[fa-pencil] You can document your findings (e.g. a photograph of the mind-map) in the Project Journal.
