G7 Role Play - Group 1

Role Play - The Great Everest Debate

​

You are going to work on a mini presentation outlining whether the bodies on Everest should be cleaned up, left in their snowy graves or whether the focus should be on the litter and other waste that is causing severe environmental degradation in the Everest area. The Nepalese Government is going to invest several million dollars on a scheme that aims to satisfy the following three objectives:

​

1. Promote environmental sustainability and better practises on Everest.

​

2. Keeps the Sherpa happy and honour Everest as a religious symbol.

​

3. Seeks to honour the memory of those who have died attempting to summit Everest.

1. From the point of view of a group representing relatives of dead climbers in the Death Zone

​

"Our loved ones are frozen in a place many thousands of KM from home. They died what they loved doing and should be left to rest in peace in the place that they died - a grave that they would have wanted to occupy"

Why our viewpoint is important?

How might this clash with the views of other stakeholders
