This series of six lessons has been developed to meet the criteria required by GCSE exam boards (Edexcel, AQA and OCR) for learning about climate change.

Our series of films helps explain the complex topic of climate change to young people, introducing its causes and effects – both on the planet and on people’s lives – and exploring how WaterAid works with communities around the world to manage its impacts.

Suitable for pupils in Key Stages 2, 3 and 4, as well as youth groups and home study, these videos can be used as standalone lessons to introduce each topic, or to support existing work on climate change.
