Review the resources provided
Have a notepad (soft or hard version) to brainstorm ideas as you explore the resources.
Focus on the following:
Learning Outcomes that they could support
Potential Activities you could create
Assessments/Actions that they could stimulate
Take the time to share your ideas on the Padlet Wall - collectively we will generate a rich repository of ideas for our classrooms
We will have a teachmeet opportunity before lunch to enable you to share your findings and design ideas

Set against the backdrop of international climate and human rights negotiations, Anote’s struggle to save his nation is intertwined with the extraordinary fate of Tiemeri, a young mother of six, who fights to migrate her family to New Zealand. At stake is the survival of Tiemeri’s family, the Kiribati people, and 4,000 years of Kiribati culture.

Inquiry Question(s): Why is the Sea Level rising, and why are we so concerned?
Ten thousand years later, with seas now rising because of global warming, scientists are combing through an array of data and building increasingly detailed models to understand the processes that drive regional and local changes in sea level. The goal is to project when, where, and how much seas are likely to rise in the coming decades and centuries. It's an incredibly complicated set of interdependent calculations.

Small Island Developing States are in actual fact vast oceanic States (SIDS). The future of the planet depends, to a large extent, on their future. They are at the forefront in demonstrating the power of culture to forge responses for resilience and adaptation to extreme hazards and climate-induced disasters. Spanning from the Caribbean to the Pacific via other islands in the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and South China Sea, the SIDS are a mosaic of diversity. Differing in terms of population size and densities, geographical spread and present differentiated development patterns.

"For too long we have waited and waited and then the negotiation prolongs, maybe it’s one way of delaying loss and damage. I hope they listen now, because they have to honour their commitments and pledges. They need to open their ears more clearly, and their minds. The wealthy countries are after all responsible for what we are now facing.”
Kiribati’s president, Taneti Maamau, COP 27
“This year, Kiribati declared a state of disaster to manage and respond to the impact of severe drought with some of our islands frequently inundated by storm surges,” he said. “The impact of extreme spring tides continues to be a threat to our economy, our future development and destroying the very fabrics of our livelihoods.”
