LEARNZ is a programme of free virtual field trips, helping students access the inaccessible.
Our climate constantly changes, so why has climate change become such a topical issue? Recent changes in climate have happened a lot faster than they have in the past due to human activity. Increases in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane are causing changes in average temperatures and rainfall. Our changing climate impacts people, ecosystems and industry. So what can we do about it?
Experts are already working together to monitor, manage and build resilience to climate change in the Canterbury region. There is a lot of positive action happening to reduce the impacts of our changing climate.
