Lesson 4 is a model U.N. activity that challenges the students to consider the social, economic, and political issues that arise regarding the deployment of climate engineering. In this version, the students roleplay as delegates from several countries taking part in a United Nations summit. These countries have various amounts of wealth, fossil fuel resources, renewable energy sources, and climate engineering technologies at their disposal. Each country also has their own ambitions regarding economic growth in the midst of climate change. The task at hand is to decide whether to deploy climate engineering technologies and to create treaties throughout the summit.
