This course explores key concepts of climate change, such as climate, terrestrial systems, and energy. Their relationships are analyzed, and a diagnosis is proposed to promote school awareness of the short-term and long-term causes and effects of climate change. Additionally, the identification of local and global actions to mitigate it is encouraged.

Syllabus
Welcome to the course
This course explores key concepts of climate change, such as climate, terrestrial systems, and energy. Their relationships are analyzed, and a diagnosis is proposed to promote school awareness of the short-term and long-term causes and effects of climate change. Additionally, the identification of local and global actions to mitigate it is encouraged.
Module 1: Our climate is changing
This module explores concepts related to climate change and its connection with various factors such as climate, seasons, and Earth systems. Additionally, it covers examples of climate change action in other schools. The learning experience within this module is enriched through diagnostic assessments and collaborative exercises.
Module 2: Our climate is changing
This module covers aspects of ecological footprint and climate impact. It describes the energy cycle and sources, as well as alternative technologies. Concrete examples of energy efficiency and energy usage within the school context are provided. Additionally, a practical exercise is presented to diagnose the sources of school energy.
