Dear teachers,

For an optimal exchange with the experts, we recommend discussing the selected video in a lesson and developing questions for the ClimateTalk together, writing them down and, if possible, clarifying in advance who will ask the question.

• Find and clarify technical vocabulary
• Clarify units of measurement such as parts per million, find comparisons
• Summarise the lecture
• What is the Paris Climate Agreement?
• What is the 1.5 degree target?
• What is the greenhouse effect? How does it come about? What is differentiated?
• What conflicts of interest can arise when implementing the sustainability goals?
• What are the Global Goals? How many are there? Who compiled them and for what reason? Which global goal can be assigned to the selected presentation? Which of the global goals is influenced by climate change and its consequences?
• What is the three-pillar concept of sustainable development?
• Discussion: What contribution do the students, teachers, school and home town make to achieving the 1.5 degree target?
• Discussion: Can the coronavirus crisis be compared with the climate crisis? What are the similarities, what are the differences?

Questions directly to the presentation

• Have difficult correlations explained again
• How was the data presented obtained? Which methods were used?
• What do the results mean for dealing with climate change?
• How should further research be conducted now?
• In the expert's view, what urgently needs to be done now so that the 1.5 degree target can be achieved?

Questions for the person

• What motivates the expert in their research/work?
• Questions about the academic appointment? What requirements are needed?
