World Energy from Climate Interactive on Vimeo

World Energy is a new role-playing game that enables participants to work together in groups to negotiate a pathway through the global energy transition and limit future climate risk. In the video above, featuring Andrew Jones, John Sterman, and Juliette Rooney-Varga, students at MIT play the exercise and experience the dramatic negotiations that occur while groups strive to meet their climate goals. At the end, participants share a grounded hope for our future and what sort of leaders they will need to be to contribute to progress.

The game is supported by our global mitigation simulation En-ROADS.

Climate Interactive has developed World Energy in partnership with MIT, U Mass Lowell, Stanford’s Precourt Institute of Energy, and others
