Some resources from federal government sites are currently unavailable; when possible, we’ve provided alternative non-government links to ensure continued data access.
The tool is modifiable, giving students the option to explore a bit-picture overview or take a more zoomed-in look at emissions.
The data in this resource seems to be updated frequently.
Prerequisites
Teachers may want to walk students through the use of this tool.
Students may need some of the terms for the sectors and gases defined.
Students should understand the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions.
Differentiation & Implementation
Students can use this tool in an exploration about what solutions may be most impactful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
This comparison tool can be used to compare two countries, gases, timeframes (20-yr or 100-yr), or sectors in a math or science class.
Teachers can make connections to the Sustainable Development Goals by having students identify which of the SDGs can be addressed by reducing emissions from certain sectors. If students are unfamiliar with the SDGs, teachers can find helpful resources in this curriculum guide.
