The main focus of Unit 2 is on climate change, its causes and effects, and how they led to the need for sustainable development. Understanding environmental issues and how we humans contributed to these, is crucial in order to start rethinking the actions we take in our everyday life.

Learners can visit the podcast created for unit 1.2 climate change ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZyQZfrlOqA&t=18s ) aiming to:

• Climate change terminologies and environmental changes
• How actions of one region or country impact others, and the responsibilities nations have in addressing this challenge
• Regions and communities that are already experiencing significant climate-induced migration
• Policies to address climate migration, and the role of advocacy
• Education, awareness and technology for adaptation

Climate change is the long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns. These shifts might be due to natural causes, such as changes in the solar cycle. However, human activities have been the primary cause of climate change since the 1800s, mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas (United Nations, 2022).
