SOME SPECIFICITIES OF CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATION
• Science of climate : understanding (inquiry)
• Social sciences : attenuation, adaptation,
• Ethics : solidarity, change of behaviour
• Action : empowerment of students
• Opportunities in building a carbon-free society
PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCES PRODUCTION
The global mean atmospheric temperature level has increased by 1°C since the preindustrial period
In the 19th, progress in sciences and technologies
in Europe have led to an industrial revolution
Progress in chemistry, medecine
and agriculture
have led to a rapid increase
of the human population
The steam engine, and the explosion
engine have led to a large increase
in fossile fuel consumption
Since the 19th century, human beeings
emits more CO2 in the atmosphere
On the atmosphere
Carbon dioxyde (CO2) is called a Greenhouse gaz
In a Greenhouse, the sunlight
(visible light)
heats the inside materials
These materials absorb the light:
their temperature increases
The heated materials emit
Infrared radiations
The Infrared radiations are trapped
by the glass of the greenhouse
As a consequence, the temperature
inside the Greenhouse increases
Certain gases in the atmosphere have a similar effect:
they do not absorb visible light, but trap infrared light.
They are called the "Greenhouse gases"
The Greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon.
Without it, the mean temperature on Earth would be -18°C instead of +15°C
Other gases, like water (H20) or
methane (CH4) are also Greenhouse gases
In any case, global warming should conntinue during a few decades.
At current rate, it should be 1.5°C in 2040
On the oceans
Climate change leads to a large number of ongoing consequences.
The gravity of the future impacts increase with the amplitude of the future warming.
Heat waves are more frequent, and more intense
Droughts are more frequent, and more intense
Floodings are more frequent, and more intense
On a global scale, precipitation are increasing
due to the increase in evaporation
Contrats in space are increasing:
dry regions tend to be drier ;
wet regions tend to be wetter
Contrats in time are increasing:
dry seasons tend to be drier ;
wet seasons tend to be wetter
Storms are more frequent and more intense Cyclones are more intense (but not more frequent)
The absorption of the atmospheric CO2
by the oceans leads to an acidification of the oceans
the thermal expansion of the ocean
contributes to the sea level rise
the melting of continental ice (glaciers, ice sheets)
contributes to the sea level rise
The sea level has been rising for 20cm since the 19th century.
According to different scenarios,
It could increase for 0.5 to 2 meters by the end of the 21st century.
Continental ice (glaciers, ice sheets) is melting
in most of the regions in the world
Arctic and antarctic sea ice are melting
In any case, the sea level rise will continue for centuries
Thresholds for irreversible melting of the
Greenland and West-Antarctic ice sheets
may occur between 1.5°C and 2°C.
Fossil energies (oil, natural gaz, coal)
come from organic material's slow
transformation during millions of years
organic material is based
on carbon molecules
the reservoirs of fossil fuels are limited
burning fossil fuels releases
CO2 in the atmosphere
Water, as most of the liquids,
expands when warming up
The global warming could be between 2 and 6°C
by the end of the 21st century
according to different IPCC scenarios.
The intergovermental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been created
to provide the world with a clear scientific view on climate change and its impacts.
Some regions will experience 3 times
larger warming than the global mean
The inland regions experience
more warming than costal areas
The oceans have a large thermal inertia,
compared to the continents
The Northern hemisphere, which contains
the larger continental surface, experience
more warming than the Southern one.
Poles experience more warming
than the global average
The sea level rise will
decrease the
access to fresh water
close to the coasts
The sea level rise will increase the infiltration
of salt water in groundwater or estuaries
The access of fresh water will be critical in
sensitive regions as small islands
The Arctic region temperature is warming
two times faster than the rest of the world
When the sea ice is melting, it increases
the surface of the ocean
and decrease the surface of the sea ice
The change in surface decreases the
albedo of the Arctic region
The albedo is the reflecting power of a surface
which means the ratio between the reflected light
and the incident light
The increase of the water surface
increases the water evaporation
and the quantity of water vapor
in the atmosphere
It decreases the culture of some lands
The sea level rise leads to coastal erosion
Preserving or restoring natural coastal ecosystems
are more cost-effective protection of coastal
regions that building sea walls and coastal hardening
The greater heat stress is expected
for the Mediterranean region
Extreme events will induce decrease in crop production
The warmer temperatures
will increase the transmission
of infectuous diseases
Over 100 million people projected
to go into poverty through impacts
on agriculture, food prices and general
vulnerability
Constraining global warming to 1.5°C
compared to 2°C reduces stress
on global water resources
by an estimated 50%
The risk for food production and extreme
poverty is significant in the Middle-East,
Sub-Saharan Africa, South East Asia
and Central and South America
with 1.5°C warming
Increasing temperatures will
directly impact tourism market
including beach and
snow ports tourism
It is possible that at 1.5°C global
warming Arctic Ocean would be nearly
ice free in September
The increase of 1.5°C will change the ocean
chemistry. It will take millenia to recover
Due to temperature increase
some species relocate and novel
ecosystems appear
Ecosystems that are less able to move
are projected to experience high rates
of mortality and loss
Changes in biodiversity have major
implications for food webs,
ecosystem structure and services,
fisheries and human livelihoods
Risks for natural and managed
ecosystems are amplified
on drylands compared
to humid lands
CO2 removal can accelerate
the decline of CO2 emissions
to help avoiding a temperature overshoot
In order to limit global mean warming
to 1.5°C, greenhouse emissions
have to decrease rapidly and deeply
The reduction of greenhouse gases
emission has to be induced by
strong policies and short term actions
CO2 removal measures include:
afforestation and/or biomass energy
with carbon capture and storage
The nationally determined contributions submitted
under the Paris Agreement will result, in aggregate,
in global greenhouse emissions in 2030
which are higher than those in scenarios
compatible with limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2100.
Paris agreement
Coastal and small island population
are more likely to experience
poverty and relocation

  • 25. PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCES PRODUCTION The global mean atmospheric temperature level has increased by 1°C since the preindustrial period In the 19th, progress in sciences and technologies in Europe have led to an industrial revolution Progress in chemistry, medecine and agriculture have led to a rapid increase of the human population The steam engine, and the explosion engine have led to a large increase in fossile fuel consumption Since the 19th century, human beeings emits more CO2 in the atmosphere On the atmosphere Carbon dioxyde (CO2) is called a Greenhouse gaz In a Greenhouse, the sunlight (visible light) heats the inside materials These materials absorb the light: their temperature increases The heated materials emit Infrared radiations The Infrared radiations are trapped by the glass of the greenhouse As a consequence, the temperature inside the Greenhouse increases Certain gases in the atmosphere have a similar effect: they do not absorb visible light, but trap infrared light. They are called the "Greenhouse gases" The Greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon. Without it, the mean temperature on Earth would be -18°C instead of +15°C Other gases, like water (H20) or methane (CH4) are also Greenhouse gases In any case, global warming should conntinue during a few decades. At current rate, it should be 1.5°C in 2040 On the oceans Climate change leads to a large number of ongoing consequences. The gravity of the future impacts increase with the amplitude of the future warming. Heat waves are more frequent, and more intense Droughts are more frequent, and more intense Floodings are more frequent, and more intense On a global scale, precipitation are increasing due to the increase in evaporation Contrats in space are increasing: dry regions tend to be drier ; wet regions tend to be wetter Contrats in time are increasing: dry seasons tend to be drier ; wet seasons tend to be wetter Storms are more frequent and more intense Cyclones are more intense (but not more frequent) The absorption of the atmospheric CO2 by the oceans leads to an acidification of the oceans the thermal expansion of the ocean contributes to the sea level rise the melting of continental ice (glaciers, ice sheets) contributes to the sea level rise The sea level has been rising for 20cm since the 19th century. According to different scenarios, It could increase for 0.5 to 2 meters by the end of the 21st century. Continental ice (glaciers, ice sheets) is melting in most of the regions in the world Arctic and antarctic sea ice are melting In any case, the sea level rise will continue for centuries Thresholds for irreversible melting of the Greenland and West-Antarctic ice sheets may occur between 1.5°C and 2°C. Fossil energies (oil, natural gaz, coal) come from organic material's slow transformation during millions of years organic material is based on carbon molecules the reservoirs of fossil fuels are limited burning fossil fuels releases CO2 in the atmosphere Water, as most of the liquids, expands when warming up The global warming could be between 2 and 6°C by the end of the 21st century according to different IPCC scenarios. The intergovermental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been created to provide the world with a clear scientific view on climate change and its impacts. Some regions will experience 3 times larger warming than the global mean The inland regions experience more warming than costal areas The oceans have a large thermal inertia, compared to the continents The Northern hemisphere, which contains the larger continental surface, experience more warming than the Southern one. Poles experience more warming than the global average The sea level rise will decrease the access to fresh water close to the coasts The sea level rise will increase the infiltration of salt water in groundwater or estuaries The access of fresh water will be critical in sensitive regions as small islands The Arctic region temperature is warming two times faster than the rest of the world When the sea ice is melting, it increases the surface of the ocean and decrease the surface of the sea ice The change in surface decreases the albedo of the Arctic region The albedo is the reflecting power of a surface which means the ratio between the reflected light and the incident light The increase of the water surface increases the water evaporation and the quantity of water vapor in the atmosphere It decreases the culture of some lands The sea level rise leads to coastal erosion Preserving or restoring natural coastal ecosystems are more cost-effective protection of coastal regions that building sea walls and coastal hardening The greater heat stress is expected for the Mediterranean region Extreme events will induce decrease in crop production The warmer temperatures will increase the transmission of infectuous diseases Over 100 million people projected to go into poverty through impacts on agriculture, food prices and general vulnerability Constraining global warming to 1.5°C compared to 2°C reduces stress on global water resources by an estimated 50% The risk for food production and extreme poverty is significant in the Middle-East, Sub-Saharan Africa, South East Asia and Central and South America with 1.5°C warming Increasing temperatures will directly impact tourism market including beach and snow ports tourism It is possible that at 1.5°C global warming Arctic Ocean would be nearly ice free in September The increase of 1.5°C will change the ocean chemistry. It will take millenia to recover Due to temperature increase some species relocate and novel ecosystems appear Ecosystems that are less able to move are projected to experience high rates of mortality and loss Changes in biodiversity have major implications for food webs, ecosystem structure and services, fisheries and human livelihoods Risks for natural and managed ecosystems are amplified on drylands compared to humid lands CO2 removal can accelerate the decline of CO2 emissions to help avoiding a temperature overshoot In order to limit global mean warming to 1.5°C, greenhouse emissions have to decrease rapidly and deeply The reduction of greenhouse gases emission has to be induced by strong policies and short term actions CO2 removal measures include: afforestation and/or biomass energy with carbon capture and storage The nationally determined contributions submitted under the Paris Agreement will result, in aggregate, in global greenhouse emissions in 2030 which are higher than those in scenarios compatible with limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2100. Paris agreement Coastal and small island population are more likely to experience poverty and relocation

Notas del editor

  1. Half of the population consider Climate change is a serious problem High CO2 Emitters Are Less Intensely Concerned about Climate Change
  2. Before going into details and describe the Office for Climate Education, which has been created last month under the leadership of La main à la pâte, I would like to explain how La main à la pâte came to this project. As you know, Lamap’s mission is to accompany and help teachers in implementing science educational programs in primary and secondary schools. For the last 10 years, Lamap launched 4 large scale educational programs on climate change and related climate-subjects like eco-housing, eco-transportation and ocean. These projects have encountered quite a large impact, in France and abroad, with more than 40,000 classes involved, meaning approx. 2.5 millions students and 14,000 teachers trained The last educational resources has been translated into English thanks to ISTIC.
  3. I will go very quickly on the international context, because it has been already presented in deep details before. I would just like to remind these 3 important steps in supporting climate education: The Paris Agreement, which emphasises in its article 12 the importance of education and public awareness, as, during the next decades, individuals and societies will have to set up concrete actions to cope with climate change, either for mitigation and adaptation. Such actions will have a important cost, both economical and social, and the acceptability by the population will be crucial. The Inter-Academy Partnership statement, involving all academies of sciences into climate change education And of course, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which gives concrete targets, including climate actions and quality education Now, this different agreements encourage, and impose, that every single country involve concretely into climate education.
  4. The scientific understanding is out of reach for most people Most people thin CC has something to do with air pollution, trash or ozone layer, while only a few people make the connexion with CO2 emissions

  7. And Lamap was not alone to develop educational programs on climate change, far from that. Hopefully, in Europe, in America, in Africa, in Asia, a large number of actors : scientists or educators were already involved in outreach or education. But sometimes, these people were engaged at a personal level, and everybody was reinventing the wheel on its side, ignoring what was made by others. Last year, under the leadership of Lamap, a few dozens of institutions: NGOs, science academies, universities decided that time has come to join their forces and work together. We conducted a preliminary study on h the possibility to launch an international initiative on climate education. The different actors from all over the world met last year during a 1 week workshop in Erice and published a statement, available here, calling for an international, coordinated initiative to promote climate education, starting at the very beginning, meaning primary school.
  8. On a legal point of view, OCE is a foundation hosted by Lamap Foundation. It as been founded by Lamap, and scientific organizations: IPSL, IRD, Météo France, Météo et Climat, PIK. OCE benefits from the support of Luciole Foundation and Siemens Foundation
  9. This project, whose name is OCE has just been launched a few weeks ago. It will focus on formal education, at primary and secondary level, both in developing and developed countries. It will place most of its efforts on teacher accompaniment, as teachers are really the key actors. They really need to be accompanied, as most of them are not familiar with climate science, and have difficulties in teaching such an interdisciplinary topic. Most of them are not familiar with active pedagogies either, like inquiry-based science education or project pedagogies. They need high quality resources and professional development.
  10. Compared to what have been done on the same topic, the originality of the project relies on the cooperation between science institutions and NGOs involved in education. The Office for Climate Education will accompany the publication of the next IPCC reports (intermediate reports and final assessment report) with special reports and tools for teachers. This tools will be free, open-source and multilingual.
  11. The Office for Climate Education is a very small team (3 people at the moment, maybe 4 people by the end of the year) installed in Paris. This team will not produce resources to be spread everywhere in the world. Such a top-down approach will simply not work. Educational programs have to be adapted to local needs, because climate change adaptation and mitigation is not the same in France or in Madagascar, and school curricula or educational constraints are not the same either. OCE will have a circular approach : a large network of partners (science institutions and NGOs engaged in education) will work together, share their experience to produce resources and accompany teachers. They will provide expertise and feedback to OCE, thanks to a scientific and pedagogical committee. The Office for Climate Education’s role is to coordinate this network, ensure the quality of what is produced and provide an international visibility.
  12. This map shows the location of these actors.
  13. So, the involvement of operational partners, on the field, will be crucial for the success of the project. Here are the first organization who agreed to participate to the network. I will not read this table, but this is just to show you that this project is ready to start with a lot of high quality actors, some of them involved at a very local scale, and some at an international level. This network is a first step: it is supposed to grow during the following years.

  15. The first mission ot the OCE is to produce resources. When we speak about resources, it can mean different things : teacher friendly scientific documentation, turn key class protocols with concrete activities, pedagogical progressions, participative science projects, testimonies and narratives, serious games, etc. All these resources will be produced at both global and local level, adapt to local needs, translated and published with an open-source licence.
  16. The network will also accompany teachers, and provide local or distant professional development activities. The OCE will also participate to international events. For example, we plan to organize and participate to 4 international workshops (including this one) before the end of this year, including a side event devoted to education during the next COP in Poland.
  17. On the contrary, we want to facilitate the understanding of such a complex system in all its dimensions and help students to develop imagination and critical thinking. As we have seen before, the Earth, with its atmosphere, oceans, lands, cryosphere… is a complex system. It has many component, and the understanding of each component is necessary but not sufficient for the understanding of the system. Students have to understand also the interactions between all the components, the different scales in time and in space, the non-linearity. Active pedagogies can help students to understand evidences, causality, develop there skills and critical thinking. It is not only about knowing things, but understanding how we know things and how we can trust, or not, the information we receive. This is why we want to promote active pedagogies, with experiment, modelling, serious games, debate, and testimonies (story telling showing how people cope with climate change, and can inspire us to find out how we can act at our scale). Our objective is to help students to develop empathy for other populations, and imagine their own future in a changing world.
  18. Our educational programs will have to lead into concrete actions in the school (for example here, we see children building a simple solar water heater) and in the community (for example here we see a charter for protecting ocean that have been written by students and adopted by the local council in a French city, of we see this students in Uganda planting trees in the village.
  19. The OCE is just starting. During the 5 next years, we will accompany IPCC reports by our own reports and tools, and spread step by step to extend our network.
  20. If you want to join this initiative, either to participate to resource production, or teacher training and accompaniment, please contact us at this address.
