Project Title and Description

"Climate Change in Antarctica                                                                                                                        UN Sustainable Development Goals #13

Course:     EAP 1586

Instructor: Anouchka Rachelson

 

This project focuses on climate change in Antarctica because this continent has experienced air temperature increases of 3°C in the Antarctic Peninsula. Although that might not seem very much, it is 5 times the mean rate of global warming. The circumpolar current is warming more rapidly than the global ocean. I investigated the causes that lead to this problem and the effects. I have proposed possible solutions and actions to counteract the damages. Finally, this presentation suggests several ways to get engaged and contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 13. and practice good hygiene.
