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

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?
