The water and carbon cycles are core topics in A-level geography and are a great area for possible NEA ideas.Kate Scott’s Centrepiece on pages 20–21 in this issue compares carbon footprints between nations. You don’t have to study carbon footprints at the national scale — you could look at the variation in carbon footprint between individuals or for smaller organisations such as your school, sports club or somewhere that you work.
It is important that you consider the geography of carbon footprints so for a single organisation you could look at how their local, regional and global supply chains affect their carbon footprint. You could also compare carbon footprints between individuals or groups living in different geographical areas with different population characteristics.
