Title: The consequences of climate change
This OER is a product of The National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America that explores the topic of climate change and its consequences: economic (agriculture, tourism), temperature and precipitation, sea level rise, river floods, coastal system and human health.
The students will be able to understand the health, economic and environmental consequences of climate change, including the meaning of the terms river floods, sea level rise, coastal system, demonstrate an awareness of the difficulties involved in the detection of any weather extremes and catastrophic impacts.
