You will enter the project through a fast climate summit simulation, analyze a small set of real climate policy sources and data, and leave with a first evidence-based prediction about how countries balance national interests with international cooperation.

You will investigate a puzzling pattern in global climate policy, refine it into a focused country question and hypothesis, and build a method for comparing treaties, speeches, policy choices, and climate data before moving into final product development.

You will present your country climate negotiation brief or poster, defend your conclusions with corroborated evidence, study classmates’ strategies during a gallery walk, and reflect on how your understanding of national interests and international cooperation has changed.
