Climate Change Adaptation – Society and Economy | Canada Science and Technology Museum

A tornado funnel is shown touching down onto green hilly farmland below a dark stormy sky with lightning bolts. Various homes and barns can be seen in the distance.

By participating in activities like the ones in this digital learning kit, students will develop a better understanding of the factors that contribute to climate change; and of the effects of climate change on society, the economy, and the environment. They will also explore the notion of adapting to climate change - both its existing and expected effects - to not only mitigate risks but also take advantage of possible opportunities.

To support teachers and students through this learning experience, this activity kit includes:

A teacher’s guide
Downloadable infographics
High-resolution graphics (activity 4)
