Here is a resource for the Grand Challenges video

Link to the "Five Grand Challenges" video:

“The Five Grand Challenges”  are categories OER uses for how most of the carbon emissions occur around the globe. Whether you teach a climate-related class, or you're just looking for a way to spark interest in climate education, you should take a look at this outstanding video!

I've pasted some questions with time stamps below that you might use in a document or a slide. 

Do you think these are the best questions to ask? Would you re-word them or choose other questions entirely?

01:05 What are the five Grand Challenges?

01:53 Why would some consider How We Plug In to be the most important Grand Challenge?

06:33 What’s the simple fact about concrete production that makes the How We Make Things challenge so daunting?

08:40 Why does raising livestock create so much greenhouse gas emissions?

11:27 Why do we use fossil fuels to move people and stuff around?

13:16 Why is demand for air conditioners and heaters expected to rise in the future?

  •  thank you for sharing this powerful video. Since I don't teach the Climate Project I didn't know about its existence. I like the questions but I would also add a graphic organizer or infographic for students to summarize the main points. I would love to exhibit them in my classroom. This will be a great resource to my Big History and AP Human Geography courses.
