Play for Reality: Conveying Sustainability Challenges Through Game Mechanics

Several Ontario regions have agreed to reduce their carbon emissions by 80% by 2050. However, many of these cities don’t actually have a plan for how they’ll reach this noble but challenging goal. In response, the Waterloo Global Science Initiative (WGSI) (in partnership with several Waterloo Region collaborators) has created a prototype board game called Energize: its goal is to draw attention to the challenges and the solutions of how a city can reduce carbon emissions.
