The pages show the ZeroCarbonCity campaign events that will be taking place in those countries. On each page there is a photograph. Pass your mouse over the photograph to see the caption. Then decide if it shows evidence for, or a solution to, global warming. Do an activity to see if you are correct.
Activity 3: Follow-up task
Could any of these photographs be taken in your country? How is your country being affected by climate change? How is it finding solutions to the challenges?
