Most in demand is The Climate ChangeGame. It puts 30 to 150 participants in charge of the global climate. The players' task, simulating responsibilities as leaders of governments, corporations, and large groups of individuals, is to remove 200 billion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere in the next 50 years. The simulation, grounded in the latest scientific findings on climate change, deals with solutions-actions, programs, and policies we need to implement at the governmental, corporate, and individual levels. While engaged in the simulation, players learn about the options we have to avert climate change disaster.
