Climate Change Superheroes: Introduction to learning about climate change and climate literacy presentation provides teachers with content to engage children on their journey of becoming climate literate. This will highlight learning about the Earth’s climate system and how it is interlinked to climate change.Description
Climate Change Superheroes modules have been developed for teachers and educators to use in the classroom to guide children’s learning and development about the climate system and climate change issues. The modules are suited for 10–12-year-old children—and even adults who want to learn more about climate change. The modules are accompanied by lesson plans and a range of cross-curricular activities suitable for thematic learning. These materials support the primary school curriculum and the Irish Primary School Curriculum Framework (2023). Module 1 aims to start the journey of helping children become climate literate. 1. Complete the Explorers Climate Change Superheroes - What I Know About Climate Change Quiz 2. Learn about what climate literacy means. 3. Understand how the Earth's Climate System is interlinked with climate change. 4. Plan the class Explorers Superheroes Climate Change project that helps develop the children's communication and creative skills.Citation

Human HealthBresnan, E.; Austin, C. B.; Campos, C. J. A.; Davidson, K.; Edwards, M.; Hall, A.; Lees, D.; McKinney, A.; Milligan, S.; Silke, J. (Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership, 2017)• Toxin producing phytoplankton, pathogenic vibrios (bacteria commonly found in low salinity water) and noroviruses all have the potential to impact human health. • The relationship between climate change and toxin producing phytoplankton is complex. Considerable unknowns remain about how climate change will impact this part of the plankton community and confidence in predicting these impacts in UK waters remains low. • A recent study in Scotland has shown short term weather events as well as wind mediated transport of offshore phytoplankton populations can influence the toxicity of coastal shellfish. This highlights the requirement for long term data sets to identify the impacts of climate change from shorter term seasonal and interannual variability. • Emerging evidence from peer-reviewed scientific studies has suggested that increasing seawater temperatures and extreme weather events such as heatwaves and extreme precipitation, drive the abundance of pathogenic vibrios in the environment. A recent spate of reported infections in Northern Europe underlines these observations. Climate warming in the region may therefore increase human infections.
