Part 4: Evaluate the sustainability of Strategies to deal with Climate Change

The Activity ◊ Each person in the class will be assigned to strategy 1 – 4. You must then use the information provided and any other source of information eg the Internet to be able to present information on the different strategies for climate change. You will then hand the information that you have generated to Mr Manson and he will choose one winner for each strategy who will win a prize and he will photocopy this information as notes for the rest of the class. This is your chance to write a textbook page for GCSE Geography!
