dc.descriptionMany communities around the world rely on waterways for transportation, agriculture, drinking water, and as a source of food. Freshwater is essential, but it is increasingly threatened due to climate change. This lesson introduces students to ways communities in three different parts of the world contribute to and experience climate impacts on freshwater environments. Students will explore communities in the Amazon, the Mekong, and the Mackenzie rivers/biomes in order to compare and contrast climate change contributors and effects in different river systems. Students will learn about how human activities affect different biomes in various locations, how these activities contribute to climate change, and the actions taken to deal with the impacts of climate change.
