Launch of “E-learning for World Heritage and Climate Protection: Innovative Education for All”
In a world where climate change threatens our shared heritage, UNESCO invites teachers around the world to empower their students with knowledge and tools for action through the new interactive e-learning module.
Introduction to Climate Change and World Heritage
Built upon scientific consensus and updated research, it offers in-depth exploration on human-induced climate change. Basic concepts of World Heritage and its diversity are introduced to sensitize young learners to the impacts of climate change on these iconic places, inspiring them as proactive agencies to investigate potential measures for combating climate change and protecting our shared heritage. Thematic modules on the topics of World Heritage Glaciers, Forests, Biodiversity, and Historic Cities will be launched later this year.
Learning Objectives:
Young learners are able to
Recognize natural and human-induced climate change and explain causes and effects of climate change Analyze different factors in the complex climate system and visualize future scenarios of climate change Investigate mitigation and adaptation measures at global and local levels and assess impacts of personal activities Contextualize the vulnerability and sensitivity of World Heritage properties to climate change and take part in local solutions to combat climate change
Overview and Structure
A dedicated online forum is established for each learning unit for the purpose of peer learning (sharing learning outcomes and discussions) or Q&A sessions to encourage collaborative learning. The module is structured to progressively build young learners’ understanding of climate change and the roles of World Heritage. Each learning unit is designed with specific themes and learning objectives, offering a blend of scientific analysis, critical thinking and real-world application: LU 1.1: What is climate change, and why should we worry about it? LU 1.2: What are the causes of climate change? LU 1.3: What are the consequences of climate change? LU 1.4: What is World Heritage, and how does it relate to climate change?
