Reducing Carbon Footprint

Introduction

This activity aims to enable students to acquire knowledge and skills about carbon footprint by calculating their own carbon footprint and
their impact on the environment. The objective is to raise awareness among students about how each individual, through their carbon
footprint, impacts climate change and how it is possible to reduce it to contribute positively.

Objectives

• Increase students’ awareness of climate change, its causes and the individual contributions to carbon footprints
• Educate students on the consequences of climate change on the environment, ecosystems and human societies
• Guide students in developing personal action plans to reduce their carbon footprints

Learning outcomes

By the end of this learning scenario, students will be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge acquisition of climate change by analysing the impact of carbon footprints on climate change and on the environment
• Develop the ability to use a carbon footprint calculator to assess their personal carbon footprint
• Empower them to proactively modify their behaviours and adopt sustainable habits for a resilient and greener future
