Teaching Materials
Positives
- In the chart, students can add or remove countries to customize their comparisons.
- Students can sort each column of the table in ascending or descending order.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students can view the same datasets by single country using this resource.
- All data and visuals are available to download.
Differentiation
- Students could conduct research on individual countries to explain the distribution of emissions by fuel type (e.g., Why does South Africa burn so much coal? Why does India burn so little gas?)
- Social studies or government classes could use this data to look at per capita emissions and levels of poverty around the world. Students could discuss Sustainable Development Goal #7: Affordable and Clean Energy.
