The students, who attend Reutlingen University’s ESB Business School in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, dived into their simulated roles as United Nation delegates, making difficult decisions and negotiations as they tried to come to a global climate agreement that aims to keep global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius.
“It is easier for the students to learn about the need to act with the game set-up than with a 90-minute presentation,” said Dr. Florian Kapmeier.
Reutlinger General-Anzeiger, the local newspaper in the city of Reutlingen, Germany, covered the event.
