World Climate Game
it's a possibly life altering experience… and can help with teamwork,
strategic planning, public speaking, negotiating, and social skills.
This simulation puts you into the shoes of decision makers... It is
tougher than any midterm exam or essay.
Going through World Climate helped me see that climate change is an
urgent issue now, not something that can be put off for another decade.
It helped spur me along to get involved with SEA, which I'm somehow
now president of. And this summer I'm connecting with 350MA to learn
more about what can be done on the local and state scale to fight
climate change. All of this, catalyzed by participating in a simple game.
It doesn't matter what these students study, this can help them
understand how large and multifaceted the issue of climate change is
and show them how this will have an impact on everything they may be
planning for the future.
