League for Green Leaders

League for Green Leaders is an engaging, gamified online climate-action competition where students play to learn, play together, and play for our future. With learning-by-doing, students grow the agency of climate action and become leaders for our future.

Each competition consists of fun-packed daily activities that align with curricula used in schools. Students will be interacting with the award-winning iBiome learning games, building 12 virtual habitats, earning badges and gaining points by finishing their daily activities (both online and offline), and collaborating with teammates to compete for the top positions in the leaderboards. They track their daily eco-friendly choices and as their lifestyles become more sustainable, they will gain CO2e savings, and observe the collective impact they can make with other young green leaders.

Melting Planet: the cooperative card game for survival

Melting Planet is a cooperative card game designed to create an entertaining experience while promoting a mindset shift towards cooperative behaviors. Instead of playing against other players, we will learn how to play together against the game; and the game is climate change. Melting Planet teaches us how to strategize as a united force with limited information and resources, and how to build trust and teams that can work together to solve the collective challenges that we face today as communities, organizations, and society.

What does it take to power NYC with zero carbon energy, and how fast do we need to build it? To explore this, we designed a game.

ENERGETIC is in use at colleges and universities including Bard, Harvard, Vassar, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, and Yale, and now also in 16 public high schools in NYC. We are working to replicate this method for every city, to help secondary schools around the world meet the climate literacy goals of the UNFCCC Article 6 and Article 12 of the Paris Agreement.

"Guardians of the Amazon" is a Serious Game and consists of grouping sets of seven Species cards to complete seven biotopes that characterize the Amazon jungle. By assembling the flora and fauna cards, players discover the subtle interdependent relationships in different ways in these biotopes and an understanding of the contribution of biodiversity to sustaining local, regional and global life.
At the same time, gamers realize the vulnerability of the system. The game contains 10 Threat cards that contribute to the environmental collapse and loss of biodiversity currently affecting the Amazon rainforest. The 10 Solutions cards help to overcome the Threats, proposing alternatives that allow the rational and sustainable use of natural resources. The 7 Indigenous Wisdom cards are the most powerful in the game by neutralizing any Threat card. A set consists of a box with 102 cards, a triptych with the rules, another with biome data, and a dice

Climate Action Simulation (with En-ROADS)

The Climate Action Simulation is a highly interactive group role-playing game to explore the different stakeholders and solutions that need to come together to take action on climate change. The game is conducted as a simulated emergency climate summit organized by the United Nations, and uses the free online En-ROADS climate simulator to rapidly assess the impacts of different solutions to climate change—like energy supply subsidies, energy efficiency, or land use changes. Participants negotiate a concrete plan to limit global warming by bringing together government, business, and civil society representatives.

LIFE Reimagined is a cooperative storytelling board game that parodies the original iconic board Game of LIFE from the 1960s. Instead of players competing to make the most money to win, in LIFE Reimagined, players cooperate to make the most impact for social and climate justice based off Doughnut Economics, a framework for evaluating how to meet society's needs while not breaking ecological barriers. Players draw cards, roll dice, share stories, and come up with activities they can do in real life to create the future we all deserve.

Deal: A Green New Election

It’s almost Election Day, and your ballot initiative is clinging to a narrow lead in the polls. Voters are concerned about effects on jobs and cost of living, and the press is waiting for answers about difficult policy questions.

iPlan is a free online game that allows learners to construct, investigate, and solve simulated urban and regional planning problems. Suitable for use on smart phones, tablets, Chromebooks, and laptops, iPlan allows learners to explore the impacts of land-use decisions in their own local contexts. The system uses geospatial data, ecological and economic models, and optimization routines to transform any location in the contiguous United States into an interactive land-use planning simulation. Players construct rezoning plans that address socioeconomic and environmental issues, and their plans are evaluated by virtual stakeholders who advocate for different community priorities. iPlan thus provides a flexible platform for exploring complex land-use issues nationwide.
