Foreword

Climate change is perhaps the major factor that will affect the lives of the young people currently studying in our schools and colleges. The Royal Society of Chemistry firmly believes that without a sound understanding of both the scientific principle behind and the evidence for climate change these young people will not be able to make informed decisions as citizens. 

The RSC has thus produced a resource for both 14-16 and 16-18 year olds to support, in particular, teachers of science and chemistry in their delivery of this important topic.
