Making urban living more sustainable - Edexcel IGCSE Geography 9-1 and other boards and legacy GCSEs . 45 slide presentation to teach: What does urban sustainability mean and how can it be achieved? Explanation of external and internal actions and the range of activities we focus on to improve sustainability. We look at 3 case studies: Mazdar City in Abu Dhabi, Curitiba in Brazil and Mazdar-I-Sharif in Afghanistan. Notes are presented from the Edexcel Student IGCSE 9-1 Textbook as well as supplementary information from The Guardian, AFP, GCSE BBC Bitesize and others.

This PowerPoint presentation covers all aspects of the IAL Geography spec for Edexcel including all the key ideas of: • [KI] Energy sources can be classified in different ways, and their use varies widely. • [KI] As well as rising global demand, distribution of energy resources is uneven • [KI] Energy security varies, as does the security of pathways • [KI] The future supply of affordable fossil fuels is uncertain • [KI] Major energy players are key to supply continuity • [KI] Global energy demand has implications for the carbon cycle • [KI] Nuclear power is a contested energy source • [KI] Renewable energy alternatives are increasingly popular • [KI] Radical approaches may be needed to balance energy demand with environmental concerns Week 1: Energy supply, demand and security. Week 2: Energy supply, demand and security / The impact of energy use Week 3: The impact of energy use Week 4: Energy security and the future Week 5: Energy security and the future The presentation links to the Edexcel updated SOW with supplementary material to enhance or simplify the core knowledge. Classwork/Homework includes: • Compare and contrast electricity generation and consumption by country on the EIA website. • Investigate per capita energy use and energy types in countries at different levels of development and explain these in relation to economic and resource factors • Drawing conclusions from resource work • Today’s energy choices will shape the future of energy, but how should we assess their impact and adequacy? (• 1. Where is the global energy system heading, based on the policy plans and investment choices we see today. • 2. Assess what would need to be done differently in order to reach the climate, energy access, pollution and other goals that policy makers have set themselves.) • Use world outline maps to map areas of energy surplus (oil, coal, case, uranium) versus locations of highest consumption, and locations with high renewable potential; Add flow lines of major trade flows in oil, coal and gas • The economic and environmental costs and benefits of : The Athabasca Oil Sands Brazil’s Deep Water Oil Shale Gas/Oil in the Dakotas, USA VIDEO LINKS to The Economist library on Energy Security, World Economic Forum, BBC, The Guardian and many others.
