In this interactive workshop we will look at how people are changing the climate and how the
climate is, in turn, impacting on people’s lives. We will examine how this relationship differs across the globe and even within communities. We will use freely available interactive tools to examine these impacts within the students’ own neighbourhoods. Finally, and, most importantly, we will look at how we can reduce the problem by becoming more sustainable members of our community and react to the problem by becoming more adaptable.
