Game on! Don’t let climate change end the game

Will you let
climate change
end the game?

Let's see how we can play the game to a better ending.
Will you sit back, relax and watch our planet burn?

We'll show you how we end up if we do not change.

"Biodiversity cannot be maintained by protecting a few species in a zoo, or by preserving greenbelts or national parks. To function properly, nature needs more room than that. It can maintain itself, however, without human expense, without zookeepers, park rangers, foresters or gene banks. All it needs is to be left alone."

Donella Meadows - Environmental Scientist & author of The Limits to Growth

Climate Game Rules

While climate change represents a broad set of threats to all life in the planet, the project will be focusing, above all, on three main issues:

Biodiversity Conservation

Changes in our climate threaten to disrupt ecosystem balance and to bring about a mass extinction of species around the globe. This will greatly affect ecosystem services and so the habitability of our planet. For instance, mild winters and early springs can cause many plants, such as dandelions, to blossom ...

Adaptation & Mitigation

How humankind manages to confront what is coming will be critical. Throughout history, we have seen cultures that managed to adapt to harsh climatic circumstances and others for which the game ended. Just as thousands of years ago, Arabian pastoralists and agricultural communities in Mesopotamia cooperated during ...

Climate Justice

Around the globe, societies are already being impacted by droughts, heatwaves, floods, famine, social strife, and more — especially affecting the most vulnerable groups in the Global South. Migratory patterns can be already seen, leaving tens of thousands in peril and distress. This is a reality that cannot ...

Board game

Board games are so many times way more than simple entertainment and competition. Board games can push us to tread carefully, to strategize, to ...

E-learning Platform

Educational materials

Greening Festivals Handbook

The show must go on, but must also green on. Festivals and music concerts are, without a doubt, contexts for joy, good vibes, and positive energy. ...

Improvisation Theatre

“To be, or not to be, that is the question.” Or, perhaps, was the question. Today, with climate change foreshadowing a scenario of ...

International GeoQuest

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it ...

Mobile App

Humans are, more often than not, creatures of habit. Many times, sadly, the wrong ones. But we have it in us the capacity to change those habits, ...

Museum Exhibitions

Major art exhibitions can attract tens of thousands of visitors and also great media attention, but normally do not deliver an environmental ...

The South Speaks

The Global South is a term that identifies countries with one side of the underlying global North-South divide, the other side ...

Time to take a walk on the wild side! And to set up a tent. Look at the starry night. Reconnect with nature. Wilderness camps provide an ...

So fresh, so clean

World leaders are turning to renewables to power societies without overpowering our planet. But as the familiar oil spills, land clearance, water pollution and air pollution associated with fossil fuels demonstrate, energy has historically come at biodiversity’s expense. So the big question is this: as we develop new, renewable energy sources, how do we ensure that they protect biodiversity?

Climate Justice is not Blind

The sole focus of climate change as a strictly environmental issue misses by large a critical social dilemma: how differently will its impacts be born upon according to who you are and to where you live. As it stands, climate impacts won't deliver blind justice.

I Came, I Mitigated, I Adapted

As it currently goes, the world by 2050 is a scary thought: rising sea levels, extreme summer heat, and mass forced migration. Yet, climate projections are inherently dependent on the steps taken to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. We need to act now!

A Biodiversity Challenge

2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, is also a make or break year for biodiversity. We are experiencing a sixth mass extinction. After our failures to reach previous targets, we need to act urgently to solve the crisis. Time to take on the challenge!

Soil: The Forgotten Miracle

Soil is one of the building blocks of life, yet we pay so little attention. Time to shine a light in our forgotten origins.

The project ‘Game on! Don’t let climate change end the game’ is an initiative of a consortium of 10 partners from 8 Central and Eastern European countries to activate the global youth and react to the existential threat climate change represents for the future of humankind.
