Sustainability: Caught in the Climate Debate

Climate change dominates the sustainability conversation — but it’s only part of the picture. This four-part lesson explores the science, the politics, and why focusing too narrowly risks missing the bigger challenge.

🌍

Lesson Overview

Climate change has become the focal point of the sustainability conversation — but the bigger picture is often lost.

In this four-part lesson, we unpack:

  • 📌 How climate science has been politicised and undermined — and why every year of inaction raises the stakes
  • 📌 NASA’s research — a clear, science-based explainer to ground the discussion
  • 📌 The global emissions challenge — why we need a global response, and the role of the most powerful countries
  • 📌 Beyond climate science — how today’s visible sustainability challenges may be the most compelling call to act

Every year of inaction — or insufficient action — makes the challenge even greater, for us and for the next generation.
