New Global Issues Class discussion

Over the summer, I will be redesigning my Climate elective into a new course format. My new semester-long course will be titled “The World on Edge: Exploring Global Issues.”
The course will focus on key global challenges, including climate change and global warming, population growth and carrying capacity, global poverty, human trafficking, pollution, and human rights issues such as racism.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have—whether related to content, engaging activities, or resources for these topics. I’m also very open to ideas for additional topics that would strengthen the course.
Thank you in advance for your input!
