Course Outline Global Sustainable Solutions provides opportunities for learners to engage in contemporary, real world issues through the lens of geography. This course supports learners in considering sustainable solutions for people and the planet, now and into the future through exploitation of four themes: Sense of Place Security and Sustainability Sustainable Populations Sustainable Communities Learners will recognise that actions aimed at addressing global inequities to protect human rights must be supported by strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and encourage sustainable economic development. Learners will consider the perspectives and experiences of those most affected, including local and global Indigenous and Black communities, women and girls, people living in poverty, refugees, and those impacted by conflicts and disasters. Learners will understand how vital strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and to preserve Earth’s natural resources are in protecting our planet and collective well-being. By taking a local to global approach, learners appreciate how the opportunities and challenges present in their own communities compare with experiences across the globe. Geography provides opportunities to consider the spatial organization and processes that shape our lives and activities, and our interrelationships with places and nature. As learners examine interrelationships between people, place, and environment, as well as how these interrelationships vary both spatially and temporally across and between locations, they will come to understand that human relationships do not exist independently of place and location. Learners will begin to consider how place and environment shape our experiences, cultures, knowledge, and attachments to place by examining their own experiences and the experiences of others. Learners will develop skills so they can participate in an interconnective world by understanding and appreciating different perspectives and worldviews, and taking responsible action for sustainability and the well-being of all. The geographic inquiry process provides opportunities for learners to engage with concepts of geographic thinking: spatial significance patterns and trends interrelationships geographic perspective As learners ask geographic questions, collect resources, interpret and analyse data, develop responses, and act on their knowledge, they have opportunities to explore a range of ways to inform and communicate their findings.
