Instructions:
Imagine you have the opportunity to pitch the Santa Barbara Foundation, which gives grants to address climate change impacts. The foundation is deciding on its 2024-25 grantees and is asking for proposals. The goal of this capsule assignment is to prepare a presentation, aimed at convincing a foundation to give you money to address a climate impact that you care about.
There are four steps to this capsule assignment:
Choose a climate change impact and a particular part of the world
The first step is to pick a climate impact of interest to you. In other words, focus on a specific effect that climate change is having on human or natural communities. You should also focus on a part of the world, i.e., a city, region, country, etc. The good starting point for brainstorming ideas for this capsule is the impacts section of the most recent IPCC assessment report (IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, AR6) or the impacts section of the most recent US National Climate Assessment Report (NCA4). These are great resources for helping you brainstorm a specific climate impact.
IPCC (2022) Climate Change 2022 Vol 2: Impacts, Vulnerability, and Adaptation: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-working-group-ii/
NCA (2023) US Fifth National Climate Assessment: https://nca2023.globalchange.gov/national/
Research the current state of knowledge regarding your chosen climate impact
Research what is currently known about your chosen impact. What is happening? How is it affecting people or natural systems in the place you have chosen as your focus area? Why is this an important climate impact? It is completely OK to limit your research to the above two sources, although you are allowed to consult other sources if you want to.
Develop a 3-minute presentation/pitch about your chosen climate impact
Prepare a slide deck that accompanies/supports your presentation/pitch. The final slide in your slide deck should be a References Cited slide, appropriately formatted. Record yourself giving the presentation. Zoom works really well for this. The point of your presentation is to inform the foundation staff about your chosen climate impact and convince them of its importance. You do not need to say anything about the References Cited slide.
4. Upload your presentation as a media recording to Canvas
VERY IMPORTANT: We do not care about the production quality of these videos. We do not want or expect you to do any editing. All of the video assignments are about recording you talking about climate change.
