Introduction:
Begin with a brief overview of climate change, discussing its causes and the wide-ranging consequences it has on our environment and society. Highlight how human activities contribute to climate change and the importance of addressing these issues.
Campus Walk:
Embark on a walk around Gdańsk Tech campus, examining the effects of urbanization on the local environment. Discuss both positive and negative outcomes of urban development, and explore the measures that can be taken to adapt cities to climate change. Identify and analyze existing solutions, and suggest improvements to enhance urban resilience.
Discussion:
Engage in a discussion on adaptation and mitigation strategies. Explore the different levels at which these strategies can be implemented, from local to global. Evaluate what needs to be done versus what is currently being done, and brainstorm actionable steps to bridge the gap.
