COP28 $1bn to save the Earth - climate crisis challenge

A task to last a few lessons.

Students to watch a video by the Economist on how 5 experts would spend $1bn to ‘save the oceans’ and then expand the task themselves to create a business plan for how to spend $qbn to save the earth.

A template helps them structure their research and present their projects to the class.

To tie in with Dubai COP28 but can be used at any time - of for any COP.

I doubt they’ll agree to save the world anytime soon, so I imagine this lesson can be reused and recycled again and again :)
