Total Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Positives

• The interactive provides three different ways for students to explore data (chart, map, table).
• The data can be customized to view different countries and time periods.

Additional Prerequisites

• Learners need to be familiar with the concept of gas emissions.
• The dataset and images are available to download.

Differentiation

• This resource can be used as a practical application of the uses of line graphs learned in Mathematics.

• Students can easily compare emissions from their home country to other countries around the world.
• In geography or social studies classes, students can explore characteristics of high-emission and low-emission countries and seek to identify trends.
• Teachers can ask students to identify which countries they believe are most responsible for climate change based on the emissions data. This can open a conversation about justice and moral responsibility.
