Reflections from the Module
Reflections from the Module
During this module, I prepared a vulnerability list based on the virtual field trip regions. Key vulnerabilities I identified include exposure to extreme weather events, water scarcity, health risks from heatwaves, and socio-economic inequalities, which make certain communities more at risk from climate change. I have uploaded the PDF version of this list as requested.
From the community testimonial videos, I gained insights into how climate change affects daily life. For example, individuals in heatwave-prone areas suffer from fever, migraines, and exhaustion, while farmers face crop failure and livestock loss due to droughts. These testimonies highlighted the human and socio-economic dimensions of climate vulnerability, emphasizing that climate change is not only an environmental issue but also a public health and social justice concern.
In the text-based RPG game (insert game name), I made choices that prioritized resource management, community well-being, and disaster preparedness. These decisions were influenced by my understanding of the challenges discussed in the module, such as balancing immediate survival needs with long-term sustainability. The game helped me appreciate the complexity of decision-making under climate stress and reinforced the importance of proactive adaptation strategies in vulnerable regions.
Overall, this module deepened my understanding of how climate risks, social vulnerabilities, and strategic decision-making are interconnected, both in theory and in real-world scenarios.
