deal with Climate Change
The Activity
◊ Each person in the class will be assigned to strategy 1
– 4. You must then use the information provided and
any other source of information eg the Internet to be
able to present information on the different strategies for
climate change. You will then hand the information that
you have generated to Mr Manson and he will choose
one winner for each strategy who will win a prize and he
will photocopy this information as notes for the rest of
the class. This is your chance to write a textbook page
for GCSE Geography!

1.International agreements eg Kyoto Protocol
2.The use of alternative sources of energy (wind power,

4.Strategies to slow the rate of deforestation in tropical
rainforest areas by encouraging sustainable practices
