Can you map out a strategy to stay within our carbon budget? Play ‘Carbon Collector’ to find out! A research-driven multiplayer game, demonstrating carbon removal as an important tool in an overall climate change solution, as outlined in the UN's IPCC report. Players discuss strategies for remaining within our carbon budget, staying under 1.5 degrees Celsius. Using their smartphones as controllers, they vote on appropriate allocation of resources, observing the game on a large screen and witnessing results of their collective decisions. Accompanied by gaming-related environmental debriefings and previewing related work on a Games Sustainability Hackathon and ‘Tempest’ flooding wargame.
