Climate change video explanations - KS2, KS3, KS4

A set of four videos introducing climate change.

Video 1: What is climate change?
What do we mean when we talk about climate change? What’s the difference between weather and climate? What are the differences between natural and man-made causes of climate change?

Video 2: Impacts of climate change
Climate change is happening. But what does this mean for us, now and in the future? Why should we care? This film looks at the devastating impact climate change is having on our planet.

Video 3: Climate change and water
In film three, we focus on one particular area: the link between climate change and water. How many different ways do we use water every day? What impact does climate change have on this? What would you do without water?

Video 4: How can we manage climate change
Now that we’ve looked at what climate change is, its impact, and the link between climate change and water, it’s time to talk about how we can manage it. This film looks at two routes to managing climate change: mitigation and adaptation. But what do these mean?

These videos are suitable for a variety of ages (from 7 to 18) so they can be used as either an introduction to climate change or a refresher for older students.
