This lesson plan positions students as part of a group of four to six, tasked with creating publicly accessible resources that tell the human stories of climate change. Groups are asked to create an ArcGIS Story Map combining natural scientific research on climate change (CO2 emissions, sea level rise, species extinction, etc.) with social scientific research on the human impacts of climate change (e.g., forced migration, political conflict, economic disparities) to answer the question "How is climate change impacting the way people live around the world?" Students will engage with the specific impacts of climate change and be able to discern how data and storytelling can combine with maps and other multimedia tools in an ArcGIS Story Map. They will be able to identify why maps and geographic information systems are "the primary tools by which scientists, policymakers, planners, and activists visualize and understand our rapidly changing world" (Esri).
