Global Inequalities and the Climate Crisis (GICC) is a curriculum resource that supports geography teachers to explore the relationships between global inequality and the climate crisis with Key Stage 3 classes, using the country of Cameroon as a case study.
This lesson introduces the concept of inequalities. It enables students to reflect on how global inequalities directly shape people’s experiences of the climate crisis in Cameroon.
The resource was produced in partnership with the Decolonising Education for Peace in Africa (DEPA) project, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council’s Global Challenges Research Fund as well as Impact Accelerator Account funding from the University of Lancaster.
The story told in this unit of work has been assembled from a collaboration between academic researchers, school geography teachers and the GA. It is a subjective representation informed by ethnographic testimonies. There are other stories to be told about the relationship between global inequalities and the climate crisis, and other ways the story we tell here could have been narrated. We look forward to hearing about how these resources are used in the classroom.
