Learning objectives: - Awareness of Interconnectedness: Students should grasp the complex relationship between climate change and conflict, including how environmental factors can exacerbate existing tensions and lead to new conflicts. - Environmental Science: Gain a foundational understanding of the science behind climate change, its causes, and its effects on ecosystems and communities. - Policy and Law: Understand the legal and policy frameworks at local, national, and international levels related to climate change and conflict mitigation. - Case Studies (Middle East, Arab Spring): Analyze real-world case studies to examine how climate change has contributed to conflicts, the responses taken, and their outcomes. - Mitigation and Adaptation: Discuss strategies for mitigating the impact of climate change and adapting to the challenges it poses in conflict-prone regions. - Critical Thinking: Encourage critical thinking and research skills to evaluate the evidence, assess the validity of claims, and develop well-informed perspectives on the topic. |
