The BBC Climate Challenge

If learning about climate policy options and consequences as you play a game sounds good to you: try the BBC Climate Challenge game or first read the review by Kate Heffernan on the NCSE blog.

Personally I always feel a bit ambivalent about using educational games in the context of serious issues such as climate change - framing it as a game to me sends the wrong message and trivializes the very real consequences of climate change. Yet I also realize that games can be a good way to explore complex issues in a way that is structured, fun, and engaging.
