PrintNow that we've established the scientific context for climate change and understand that its emissions that primarily drive these changes, let's take a closer look at these emissions by sector. As we work our way through this lesson, be thinking carefully about how these emissions sectors relate both to the proximate causes and driving forces of climate change we learned about last week.
What will we learn?
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- understand the role of each emissions sector in the overall emissions profile;
- describe the growth in GHG emissions from these sectors;
- identify and explain differences in emissions sectors in various geographic areas.
What is due this week?
This lesson will take us one week to complete. Please refer to the corresponding module in Canvas for specific assignments, deliverables, and due dates.
