Climate Change Key Stage 4
Welcome to Key Stage 4
West Wales Eco Centre is a registered Charity based in Newport Pembrokeshire. We are concerned with the environmental and social impacts of energy use. The main environmental impact of energy use we are concerned with is climate change. Scientists have strong evidence that the green house gasses that we have produced are changing the world’s climate.

Climate Change will be a hot topic for the next 100 years. Make sure you have the right knowledge about its impacts on Wales, to make the best decisions for you and your community
