Addressing the Global Climate Crisis in Your Class
Mooc Course Spring 2020
Prof.ssa Tiziana Angiolini
From @CNNClimate: As China and India prepare to revive their economies, climate experts are demanding they use this recovery period to enact policies that reduce emissions and invest in renewable energy and climate-resilient infrastructure, which they say will create jobs and better the economy. Before the coronavirus pandemic hit, India and China were positioning themselves as global climate leaders and experts warn creating recovery packages without environmental regard could wind back their previous work on climate change. "The recovery packages can either kill these two birds with one stone — setting the global economy on a pathway towards net-zero emissions — or lock us into a fossil system from which it will be nearly impossible to escape," they wrote earlier this month in the Oxford Review of Economic Policy.

I am an Italian Teacher of English and I do teach Languages , English and German. Currently I am teaching in a school of Art- Liceo Artistico in Italy.

I do think that the issues related to the Global Climate Crisis require a great planning on behalf of educators but what is missing is the awareness among some people. Thus education plays an important role in helping children, young people and also families to face the problem.

We live on a planet that is undergoing changes. Most of what is happening is in relationship with us, our way of living and also the way we want to continue living.

I think that more people should become aware of the dangers of not thinking about the future of the planet.

I am doing this Mooc to learn more and to find some ideas to teach about this.
