The goal of the ESPERE Network is to present climate as a result of numerous processes that include the interaction of atmosphere, oceans, geosphere, biosphere and human impact. These processes change with time and the driving force of solar irradiation.

The 'system Earth' is equally determined by chemical, physical and biological processes and geographical factors and therefore exceeds the classic organisation of subjects as chemistry, physics, biology or geography in schools. Due to the increasing impact of man additional issues as demography, economy and politics have to be added to the spectrum.

The reasonable division of climate relevant topics into thematic fields that can be treated as rather compact packages is a challenge, because all topics are in the end related to each other and intertwined. Here we present a first attempt of such a division. It shall give an overview, in which fields or sub-fields the ESPERE team could provide instructive material and explanations in order to enrich the lessons and to integrate the issues in a close cooperation with schools. The following table gives an overview of the topics which are discussed on a separate site. Please click on the respective red headline in order to read the more detailed explanation.
