Evaluate measures that may be taken to sustain and/or improve a biophysical environment
This standard asks you to research a real environmental problem and investigate different solutions that could help fix it. You need to analyze the environment itself, understand how humans are affecting it, and then judge which solutions would actually work best now and in the future, considering environmental, social, cultural, and economic impacts.
You evaluate measures with basic reasoning and explain which one might work best, using some evidence from your research.
You evaluate measures in depth with informed reasoning, use clear examples and evidence to compare their effectiveness, and explain why certain measures are more effective than others across different sustainability aspects.
You critically evaluate measures with insightful reasoning, discuss wider implications and future impacts of solutions, consider trade-offs between different aspects of sustainability, and show sophisticated understanding of how measures might work long-term.
