Systems sdg15 Life on land

Understand how human life depends and impacts on natural habitats and their biodiversity and how current socio-environmental systems are having a serious impact on earth and oceanic habitats and biodiversity.

For example:

The teacher brings maps of the global production networks (GPN) of electronic devices (e.g. mobile phones). The learners are split in groups to discuss particular nodes of the GPN. They are asked to research the impact on biodiversity and natural resources of each part of the chain (e.g. conflict, deforestation in Amazonia, etc.) and to explore the causes and consequences. The group’s results are shared and discussed. An alternative map of socio-environmental conflicts and erosion of biodiversity is built.
