Geography Update

Well done to the Year 9 geographers, who took part in a mock UN climate conference recently.

We used an online simulator used by government and organisations across the world and negotiated decisions about how to cut carbon emissions.

Students did fantastically articulating their reasoning, with some classic ideas like reducing deforestation, to more exotic arguments like reducing population growth.

The IPCC has said that we should limit global warming to 1.5 degrees maximum, and our UN conference ensured that warming did not go over 1.2 degrees.

It was a great opportunity to see how world leaders would use simulators and negotiations to discuss how best to reduce carbon emissions. Well done to all involved!
