Milestone in the World Climate Game: 100 Games in 2025
In 2025, we reached a special milestone: the World Climate Game was played more than 100 times. In over one hundred sessions, participants developed essential life skills, took responsibility, and repeatedly “saved the world” through play. Nearly all groups came to the same core realization: cooperation is the key to a peaceful and climate-neutral world.
