Workshops - Climate Change

climatechange For almost 200 years, we have been burning large amounts of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. This has enabled us to build the industrial societies that exist today. However, what we didn’t know was that along the way we have been creating the biggest problem that we have ever faced.

That problem is climate change, and it works like this: burning fossil fuels produces gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) which collect in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a so-called ‘greenhouse gas’. Such gases exist naturally in the atmosphere and help keep the planet warm enough for life to exist. But by massively adding to them we’re trapping far too much heat in the system. This is creating more extreme weather, melting the ice caps and causing more floods and droughts.

Science for Sustainability provides workshops for school, college and community groups on climate change, and how you can take action to do something about it.
For schools and colleges, we provide an introductory climate change workshop and then a specific session looking at climate change debates, carbon footprints or food miles.
