Climate Change School Trip Ideas
Environmental Geography
Climate change and energy form an area of study that covers both physical and human geography. The topic is also tightly intertwined with politics, economics and sustainability - highlighted by the debate and controversy surrounding the COP28 summit in Dubai and the COP29 summit in Azerbaijan. The geo-politics of energy production have been relevant for decades, but it is only since more advanced satellite data and monitoring has become available that there is irrefutable evidence for global warming. The argument now lies in how much this warming is caused or exacerbated by human activity - climate science suggests humans are not helping the issue.
Another aspect of environmental geography is the problem of energy production and consumption. The expanding global population is pushing energy consumption to unsustainable levels, and debates rage about whether that demand can be sated through non-renewables including nuclear and shale gas, or whether renewable energy can be made efficient enough to solve the crisis. For the geography student, the topic forms a fascinating area of study, and for you the teacher, there are plenty of opportunities to take them to see the climate and energy problem played out in the field. We cannot recommend a climate change school visit highly enough, especially given the Department for Education's new climate change education strategy.
Find a school trip or workshop for the following Environmental Geography topics: Climate change, Conservation, Extreme Weather, Fairtrade, Flooding, Global warming, Materials and recycling, Natural Disasters, Plastic pollution, Pollution, Rainforest, Renewable Energy, Sustainable living, and more.
