In this class, we will focus on ESS

What is ESS?
ESS stands for Environmental Systems and Societies. It is an interdisciplinary subject offered at the IB Diploma Programme (SL) level.

Purpose of ESS:
ESS helps students:
Understand how natural systems work
Explore how humans impact the environment
Learn how to make sustainable decisions
Connect science with society, ethics, economics, and politics

It combines:
Environmental sciences and social studies: the focus area is ecology, ecosystems, pollution, biodiversity, climate change, policies, human population growth, economics, cultural values

ESS and the Systems Approach
ESS uses a systems approach. That means it looks at:
Inputs and outputs of natural and human systems
How systems are interconnected (e.g., forests, oceans, cities)
Feedback loops, equilibria, and resilience in nature

Key Topics in ESS
Foundations of Environmental Systems
Ecosystems and Ecology
Biodiversity and Conservation
Water, Food, and Soil Systems
Atmospheric Systems and Climate Change
Resources and Sustainability
Human Populations and Resource Use

What You Learn in ESS
How to measure an ecological footprint
What causes climate change and how to mitigate it
How human activities impact the environment
How to evaluate environmental policies and solutions
How to interpret data and case studies related to real-world issues

Assessments in ESS
components
paper 1: Case study with data-based questions
paper 2: Short- and extended-response questions
IA internal assessment: A practical investigation on an environmental topic of your choice
EE extended essay: it depends on student if he is wiring a detailed version of investigation choosing ESS.

Why ESS Is Important
Helps you become an informed global citizen
Encourages critical thinking and ethical decision-making
Prepares you for careers in environmental science, policy, sustainability, law, and more
