October 24th – International Day of Climate Change
 |
350 could well be the most important
|
350–as in parts per million, is the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our
atmosphere and is included in the Draft UN resolution.
As a lead up to COP15, the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen being held in December several activities are being planned. Participants from all corners of the world are contributing and you can too.
The international Day of Climate Action will occur on the 24th (coincidentally United Nations Day) and that’s where 350 comes in.
At 350.org you can read about the science behind this number. Other websites of interest include The World is Ready ; A Climate for Change and WWF- Climate Trackers.
Useful sites for teachers to use for classroom studies include the AUSSI-WA website, the Climate Change Education portal and the Global Warming Kids Net. The Global Warming Kids Net is aimed for student use.
