Examples of curriculum alignment
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD):
Promoting competencies in line with the 2030 Agenda (SDGs). The simulation integrates ecological, social, and economic dimensions and makes dealing with trade-offs directly tangible.
Economic and Consumer
Education
Application of budget responsibility and investment decisions. Participants analyze opportunity costs and the steering effects of financial instruments (e.g., CO₂ pricing, funding systems, green finance).
Civic and Democratic
Education
Making democracy tangible as a complex negotiation process. Strengthening tolerance for ambiguity in conflicts of interest and promoting political judgment based on human rights and the rule of law.
Educational, Career, and Life Orientation
The game provides insights into aspects of future work. By assuming professional roles, students explore their interests and strengths (‘Career Management Skills’). Students develop a better understanding of their own strengths.
Reflective Gender Education and Equality
Analysis of the interaction between educational opportunities (especially for women in the Global South), demographic development, and climate protection based on real data models and current developments.
Science Education and Media Literacy
Application-oriented use of digital simulations (System Dynamics). Promoting a critical understanding of the validity and limitations of data models and algorithms. Evaluation of graphs, scales, and data.
Simply a super-cool gaming experience – in addition to all the knowledge and skills you pick up along the way.
Innovative educational format
The World Climate Game is suitable as a format for:
In-depth modules in the classroom
As an interactive supplement to existing curricula with clear curriculum alignment (e.g., geography, economics, ethics, civic education, biology, technology).
Project weeks
As an intensive, multi-day learning format with space for reflection, participation, and diversity of perspectives.
