Tackling Natural and Climate Hazards with NBS
This Learning Scenario introduces students to the concept of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) as a way to mitigate and adapt to natural and climate hazards such as floods, landslides, and extreme weather events. Through interactive activities, students will explore how ecosystems like wetlands, forests, and mangroves can act as natural shields against hazards. By the end of the lesson, students will design their own NBS project to protect a hypothetical community from a specific hazard.

The Impact of Climate Change on Marine Ecosystem
This Learning Scenario explores the impact of rising sea water temperatures on ocean ecosystems, linking the issue to global warming through data analysis and real-world news. Students examine the correlation between global temperature rise and oceanic changes, analyzing data on sea water temperature and oxygen levels. Emphasizing the importance of reducing carbon emissions, the scenario encourages students to calculate their individual impact and propose solutions. As a hands-on component, they design prototypes related to renewable energy sources, fostering awareness and innovation in addressing climate challenges.
