CLIMATEG

ClimatEG intends to teach contemporary methods in climate change mitigation to high school students in the 11th and 12th grades and college students in environmental science and economics studies. Climate change mitigation refers to efforts to decrease or prevent greenhouse gas emissions. A teachable mitigation method is represented as a web-based, multi-party educational game. The game-play by student teams requires them to understand the background of the problem addressed by the mitigation method, decide on an optimized course of actions, and achieve measurable outcomes in greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Mitigation topics selected for gamification are based on up-to-date studies and research, or on recently implemented public policy. Such topics may not have found their ways into textbooks yet.
