Āhuarangi Climate
Even the smallest actions taken at school can contribute to global impacts on climate. Our world is full of interconnected systems so let’s look at the big picture.
We’ve selected some of the best transport themed climate resources from trusted providers. Climate change covers many curriculum areas, including science, social science, literacy, numeracy and te ao Māori. While there is a lot of science behind climate change, the social sciences help ākonga build a wider view of the integrated systems contributing to climate change, and to think how communities can respond together.
