On 25th<\/sup> February, on the third day of the VE Week, about 125 participants attended in Zoom. The Poll of the day showed that participants\u2019 think about the biggest challenges behind the climate change such as: dirty industries \u2013 30%, consumerism \u2013 11%, greed and selfishness \u2013 31%, overpopulation \u2013 6%, political system \u2013 22%. As seen, the majority thinks that dirty industries, greed and selfishness, and political system (in total, 83%) are the biggest challenges behind the climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3rd<\/sup> day of VE Week continued with the final invited presentation\/ lecture on \u201cClimate Change: Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies<\/em>\u201d \u2013 by Hasmik Movsesyan, Yerevan State University (YSU), Armenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new more advanced tool \u201cShared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)\u201d (https:\/\/data.worldbank.org\/indicator<\/a> & https:\/\/tntcat.iiasa.ac.at\/SspDb<\/a>) as a global scenario framework as introduction to exercises on socioeconomical trajectories was presented (video recording). Presentation included scenarios for climate change research; SSP-based global scenario framework (narrative as sketch and storyline; quantitative elements as population, urbanization, rates of technological change, human development index, income distribution) with changes to mitigation and adaptation. To resolve the challenges, a different pathway along the \u201croad\u201d can be taken such as highway (fossil-fuel development), green road (sustainability), rocky road (regional rivalry), divided road (inequality), and middle of the road. It was demonstrated on example of Finland for socio-economic narratives for agriculture and food sector, for health and social welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tool, the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), as well as two other tools \u2013 the already introduced the ERA-5 Past Climate Explorer (PCE) tool and the IPCC Web-based Atlas (to be presented on 4th<\/sup> day of the VE Week) to be actively used by participants working on the Individual\/ Personal and Collaborative\/ Joint Climate Horizon exercises during the VE Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More details about materials in DigiCampus, daily assignments, aspects of the CLUVEX Climate Horizon exercise were repeated. Following 3 suggested approaches \u2013 (1) utilizing tools for climate related data visualization, analysis and interpretation; (2) preparing a reflective text; and (3) visual reflection using images \u2013 the students have a choice to select and implement in the Climate Horizon exercise.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 1st<\/sup> approach, students have to imagine what a hopeful future would look like from climate change perspective; to select one of the data visualization tools demonstrated; to choose an area and parameters that are meaningful to student\u2019s Climate Horizon, to take screenshots and to write a brief description that captures student\u2019s Climate Horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 2nd<\/sup> approach, students have to prepare a reflective text by writing about the thoughts and emotions student encountered during the VE; to include info from lectures, exercises, and discussions; to reflect own experiences \u2013 life and study experiences before VE and personal experience during VE and most importantly – the future; to include a reflection on group discussions (by writing down a couple of thoughts after each day). The implementation of the final report can be as: a learning diary, a short reflective essay, a letter to group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 3rd<\/sup> approach, it can be an electronic collage for instance. For this implementation, students need to find pictures (or take own) reflecting the themes of VE and personal emotions and thoughts; to draw or paint if that is strong suit; to create own Climate Horizon,  a hopeful state of the future, using images or drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the demonstration of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) tool and more detailed explanation of the Climate Horizon exercise, the VE Week participants were redistributed again into the same small groups (with the moderator) in zoom break-out-rooms as on the previous days to continue during 2 hours online discussions, practicing with the tool demonstrated, independently working on individual\/ personal Climate Horizon exercise as well continued discussions on collaborative\/ joint Climate Horizon.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
