Your Guide to Talking With Kids of All Ages About Climate Change
· “...an initiative of the Energy and Environment Program of the Aspen Institute, seeks to unlock the power
of education as a force for climate action, climate solutions, and environmental justice. Our goal is to
empower the next generation to lead a sustainable, resilient, and equitable future.”
Simulations & games
· “Established in 2005, Climate Interactive is rooted in the fields of system dynamics modeling and
systems thinking. Through this lens, and in partnership with the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative,
we create and share tools that help people see connections and drive effective and equitable climate
action. Climate Interactive hosts a team of system dynamics modelers who create user-friendly
climate simulators—spanning topics of international policy, cutting-edge climate solutions, energy
dynamics, climate justice, food systems, and more. We then amplify the insights from these tools
through interactive workshops, role-playing games, and events led by our team and an international
network of trained facilitators. From start to finish, Climate Interactive’s aim is to synthesize technical
climate science into accessible mediums, and harness the power of experiential learning to engage
and inform people around high-leverage, equitable climate solutions.”

Geovania: The geopolitics of renewables game
· “Geovania is a learning platform that gives students first-hand experience with the challenges and opportunities
associated with the transition to renewable energy. The main feature is a hypothetical continent consisting of
four very different countries. Finding a common strategy for the entire continent is difficult as every country is
facing different challenges. However, with each round the pressure to find a way towards a carbon-neutral
economy increases.”
