Net Zero & Energy Transition
Evaluate the energy transition required to reach net zero: renewable energy scaling, electrification of transport and heat, green hydrogen; describe carbon capture and storage (CCS) and direct air capture (DAC); introduce proposed solar radiation management techniques (stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening) and their potential risks and governance challenges; critically evaluate the role of individual behaviour change versus systemic policy in reducing emissions
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Has your child heard of geoengineering? Can they describe one proposal for deliberately cooling the Earth and explain one potential risk of attempting it — and say whether they think individuals or governments bear more responsibility for tackling climate change?
