Climate Changers: The Game - Success through sustainability
KS3/KS4
1-1.5 hour
Groups will gain knowledge and understanding of some of the bigger-picture challenges governments face in addressing climate change by participating in our unique, interactive card-based game. Students will be divided into teams representing different fictional countries, each with a unique profile. In their teams, they will make choices for their country in a number of areas including; energy, food, industry, transport, and climate mitigation, with the goal of maintaining enough energy for their country whilst also trying to create the strongest economy. However, each team’s choices will have a cumulative environmental consequence.
Can the teams make good enough choices either through luck or negotiation to avoid unsustainable climate change? The purpose of the game is to help students understand the challenges governments face, and ultimately empower them to be more knowledgeable and proactive with their own voice and power to influence those who make these choices, or even to inspire them to become someone who is involved in these choices.
