Tackling climate change: starting with mathematics from classroom:
I am a teacher of geography and mathematics. climate change is a monster.Here in Uganda very few people understand meaning and implications of climate change to their everyday lives. It is not only children but also the old. Therefore I strongly believe that while we do actions to alleviate climate change with the old, the youth or who ever, we should carefully integrate it in the school curriculum as we do actions so that the learners grow with knowledge and awareness, not only about the issue of climate change but also be able to carry it on and in future. They are energetic enough to cause change. They can influence their parents. They therefore will be able to influence policy decisions in their countries.
I am suggesting that we involve mathematics in matters of climate change. Later I will propose an exhibition format that mathematics learners and geography students can do to demystify what is "green house effect" to local leaders and members of the surrounding communities. I call upon your views upon this journey.

Thank you Emmanuel for the brilliant Ideas. It would be good to integrate Climate change in the curriculum. Subjects like Biology, Geography and Agriculture directly deal with this phenomenon. It would be interersting to learn how to involve mathematics in matters of climate change. We look forward to the demonstration of the exhibition format that Mathematics and Geography learners can do to demystify the "green house effect" and global warming to our local leaders and Communities.
