In this Democs kit: Climate Change
Climate Change is widely acknowledged to be the greatest threat that the world faces today. But the question of how individuals – or governments – should respond is still unsolved. This kit explores questions like:

  • Are we as individuals causing climate change?
  • Should we make sacrifices to avert climate change?
  • Is it too late to stop climate change?

This kit was part of project funded by the Wellcome Trust to produce materials for schools. It is aimed at students in Key Stage 3. View all Democs for schools kits.
