Abstract

In order to apply web-supported education to solve one of the foremost issues revolutionizing our life on the planet Earth, this chapter focuses on global climate change and its driving forces from a both didactic and scientific perspective. It describes how to “tackle the task of a transition through technological targets” (T5). It suggests a technology-oriented quantitative approach based on the “Global Change Data Base” for the sharing of hypotheses, scenarios, political applications, and didactic strategies related to planning, developing, managing, using and evaluating technological targets towards climate protection and global sustainability in academia, administration, education and policy consulting. The complete logical chain of cause and effect from social drivers to CO2 emission and climate change is used as an educational basis for advocating the global necessity and potential technological feasibility of CO2 reduction. Students negotiate global structural transitions and a set of CO2 abatement measures (similar to the game “Surfing Global Change”).
