Description

In this phase of the Decarbonize project, students will research key background information on climate change, create a dialogue and collaborate with students from a different country, and develop a broader awareness of climate change and how it impacts countries differently.

Task

Each bilateral pairing has been assigned a UNFCCC theme and two graduate mentors.

• Students will read/listen to 2 mandatory general resources on climate change. We’ve also provided optional readings/videos for students that want do do extra research.
• Students will then read 2 resources that have been assigned to their bilateral pairing by the graduate mentors.
• Students then find and share 2 resources on climate change (reading/documentary/etc.) with the whole Decarbonize project. Post these in the Bilateral Collaboration section of the Resources.
• While doing their readings, students should write a blog post reflecting on these questions:
  • How does the assigned UNFCCC theme relate to your country?
  • How does it relate to your country pairing?
  • What is the current state of this UNFCCC theme?
  • What are your country’s future plans, and the implications?
  • What strategies to combat climate change do you think are best/worst for your country?
