Synopsis
- This resource combines data from several organizations to inform others about the emissions that come from different animal products in the Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model.
- Students can look at data for worldwide populations of livestock, the production of animal products, estimated emissions for each animal product, and emissions per unit of product.
Teaching Materials
Positives
- The resource has many options for isolating or comparing specific pieces of data, making it a versatile data tool.
- Teachers and students can also download the data file to use with a spreadsheet program.
Prerequisites
- Students should know how to read graphs and be familiar with interactive data visualizations.
- When using the map function, students will have to click the Explore Data tab on the left, select a data category, and use the + buttons to add layers to the map.
Differentiation & Implementation
- Consider using this video resource to support understanding or to explore the data further.
- Students can research the emissions associated with plant protein sources to compare them to those of meats.
- Math students can make connections by answering questions about the graphs and practicing data analysis.
- To make art connections, students can use the art done by Jill Pelto as inspiration to use the data from this dashboard to create data art.
GLEAM stands for Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model, which is a model run by the United Nations. This dashboard allows users to explore a variety of data related to livestock, their population, products, and greenhouse gas emissions. Users also have the option to visualize the data is multiple different ways. This includes different graphs, and geospatially for the entire globe. Different regions and emission scenarios can be chosen. Links are provided to detail where the data is from along with more information about GLEAM model. This resource is recommended for teaching.
