- Find two or three volunteers - preferably people who are still at school, college or university, that is, people who have not yet started work.
- Ask them to think about what would happen to where they live if average temperatures went up by two or three degrees.
- If they live at, or near to sea level, ask them how a one meter rise in sea levels would affect the area.
- What about agriculture - could the same plants be grown if the temperatures were higher, and the amount of rainfall went down.
- How might severe effects such as drought or flooding in nearby areas, or countries affect them?
- What about animal life, or forest cover, or farm animals? Would these be affected?
These are just a few things to think about.

- Now ask them to describe five ways in which life would be different 25 years from now.
- Get them to think about
- the direct impact of climate change
- the indirect impact, such as how transport may have changed over the years, as people changed to low-carbon economies.
- What about the food they eat - would they still be able to get foods from all around the world?
- Where would they take their holidays?
- How would they heat their homes?
- From their answers draw up a scenario what life will be like in 25 years.
