Lesson Overview

Looking at the bigger picture

Climate change has become the focal point of the sustainability conversation. It matters deeply, but the wider sustainability challenge can sometimes get lost.

This lesson looks at climate science, politics, emissions and the broader issues that shape how sustainability is understood and acted on.

In this lesson, we explore:

  • How climate science has become politicised and why delay increases the challenge
  • NASA’s research as a science-based explainer for grounding the discussion
  • The global emissions challenge and the need for a global response
  • Why wider sustainability challenges should not be overlooked
