Presentation: Climate change scenarios

This presentation is based on the research from Module 1. Presenters should adapt their language and approach to the local level of knowledge and understanding, and make an effort to connect the local climate phenomena and analysis to worldwide trends.

The objectives of this session are to:

Prepare participants for the identification of adaptation goals and co-benefits

Raise awareness of the scientific basis of climate change

Raise awareness of projected trends and the prospects for worsening conditions

Provide participants with information on adaptation solutions and emission reductions at the national level

In some cases, presenters may want to discuss global emissions and climate policy, particularly where related projects – such as large-scale afforestation – might affect the local population.

Annex VI provides ideas of how to prepare this material.

Add-on: Annex V includes ideas for games that could be played here – Paying for Prediction or The Greenhouse Gas Game.

The presentation should be limited to 30 minutes or less. Plan another 30 minutes for questions and discussion.
