Hello everyone! We've seen an increase in followers recently and thought we would reintroduce ourselves 😍 We are Future We Want (FWW). We focus on fun, game-based climate learning and carbon literacy for all audiences, specifically staff teams and workplaces. 👷♀️👮👩🏫🧑💻👨🔬 Our Flagship tool, our ‘How Bad Are Bananas?’ Carbon Footprint Games was created as a solution to easily start conversations around climate change with all audiences.🍌🍌 The game uses the science data from the book ‘How Bad Are Bananas?’ by Mike Berners-Lee to create a fun carbon footprint comparison game based on a ‘higher/ lower’ principle. It’s a carbon conversation tool, a critical thinking developer and a fun game all delivered in an easily digestible format.😍 And if you want to test it out for yourself... you can book a free play test with our bananas facilitators (check out the link in the comments!) What could be more apeeling 😜 #bananasgame #education #netzero #climateresources Dr Emma Fieldhouse Charlotte Lawson Lou Taylor-Rees

How do we tackle climate change? Play more video games! 🎮 Stat of the week: Yale University researchers polled 2,000 gamers in the US: - 1 in 5 said they watched or heard about climate change via game play or streaming - 1 in 8 said they took action in real life based on what they’d learned. That is remarkable. But then I read an accompanying interview with Deborah Mensah-Bonsu from Games for Good and so much of it made sense, and chimed with our own approach at Hubbub. Here's four ways gaming - a $200 billion industry - has such huge potential to make an impact: 1. Fun, positive experiences are great ways to bring new people into the movement and inspire action. Gaming companies are working out that you have to first make a fun game, and THEN figure out how to build in a climate angle. That's how to build a large & engaged audience (and is true for way more than gaming) 🤩 2. Gamers are used to solving difficult problems progressively. "You don’t have to solve the whole thing in one go. There’s steps. If you take the first step, that will then fuel action for the next step," says Mensah-Bonsu, and also... 🪜 3. “Games have the power to help us imagine a different and better future at a massive scale, and to reinforce a mindset of empathy and perseverance to help us create it” Enough said. 💪 4. Gaming is a whole world of communities. And those communities can come together and do extraordinary things (which is what Games for Good is about). I'm sure there's loads more - I'd love to hear about them. I'm no gaming expert, but I love the idea of creating impact through games. Bonus points if anyone knows the game in the image, from my own gaming youth 👴 ++ P.S. I'm Alex Robinson, CEO of environmental charity Hubbub. We bring business, government and civil society together to create campaigns that make it easier and more possible for all of us to make choices that are good for the environment.

Want to learn how games can help solve the climate crisis? At #GDC2024, Shayne Hayes spoke with Trevin York about our new research report. The report explores how game teams and climate experts can work together to create informative, engaging games—and how these games can leave players with the skills they need to advance climate resilience in their communities. "Games are already a great part of climate action all around the world, so what we really wanted to do is listen and learn from the climate game teams that are doing this work," explains Trevin. With his team of researchers, Trevin York, Catherine-Ann McNamara-Peach, and Ariadne Myrivili spoke with 15 game teams from 9 different countries to understand the challenges they faced and the strategies they used to navigate them. Check out the report to learn how teams worldwide are beginning to create climate games and how we can advance this critical and urgent work. https://bit.ly/3VmA4SH

The latest winner of The Spiel of Approval Award is.. Daybreak! We live on a planet whose average temperature is rising. Climate change is happening all around us and the rate of that change is sure to bring far reaching and often catastrophic consequences on a scale humanity hasn’t seen or dealt with before. But all hope is not lost. If the collective will, intelligence, and resources of societies around the globe can be marshaled to confront the overlapping challenges posed by climate change, we can create a path to brighter days ahead. Daybreak is a cooperative board game about stopping climate change. It is an unapologetically hopeful vision of the near future, where you and your friends create the technologies, policies, and resilient societies we need to sequester more carbon than we collectively produce. Congratulations to designers Matt Leacock and Matteo Menapace and publisher CMYK Games! ALSO FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE... Daybreak designers Matt and Matteo join us for a Meal segment. We discuss the development of the game and then Matt and Matteo give us a recipe and game recommendation for a great night of food and fun. -AND- We chat with T Caires about the Green Games Guide, a best practices document looking at environmental impact and sustainability in the board game industry, whether you are a publisher, retailer, or player. Then we learn about a couple of T's favorite games. https://lnkd.in/gVtXHT29

🎮 Toby Green has Formula 1. 📈 Michael Greenhough has economics podcasts. 🕹️ I have video games. But we're always over the moon 🌙 when our hobbies cross into our day job. Especially when someone does such great work like this. Dr. Hannah Nicklin's comes from a region known for its vulnerability to floods and her life experiences have deeply influenced her recent project. As the head of Die Gute Fabrik, an indie game studio, they've just launched their sixth game, 🎨 "Saltsea Chronicles." A game about a pastel world hit by an apocalyptic flood with its inhabitants striving to rebuild. But the best bit? 🌍 The studio commisioned work to understand the carbon footprint of game development itself. Die Gute Fabrik took the unprecedented step of commissioning a report on the climate consequences of developing "Saltsea Chronicles." The result? 47 tonnes of CO2. With big players like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo stepping up their game in addressing the climate crisis, it's time for indie game developers to follow suit. Air travel ✈️, a significant contributor to the industry's carbon footprint, remains a challenge, especially for smaller studios reliant on international events. Anyone in carbon accounting will be unsurprised to hear that "scope 3 emissions" account for anywhere between 10 and 90% of the total for gaming companies. There has been recent similar momentum in France too. Melanie Christin, driven by her eco-anxiety, and the French video game association, Game In, have developed JYROS – a tool to assess emissions during games development. There’s even an "eco gaming score" in place to inform players about a game’s climate impact. In "Saltsea Chronicles" there are no heroes 🚫. The game underscores the importance of community action for survival. By mapping its carbon footprint, Die Gute Fabrik showcases how the indie game community can rally together against climate change. I'd love MyCarbon to help play a role in the decarbnisation of an industry that still brings me so much joy! #VideoGamesForChange #EcoFriendlyGaming #ClimateActionNow #IndieGameImpact #SaveOurPlanet 🌱

Are communities in web3 weak? Web3 communities, to me, are groups of users who are not just using a product that solves their problem; they’re invested in the project behind it and have aligned interests due to digital asset ownership. The problem in web3 is that most projects aren’t actually solving user problems, so their community is purely there for speculative purposes—trying to make a dollar, not to receive a solution for their problem. Imagine if web3 communities were made up of stakeholders that not only had a vested interest in the project but also had experienced their problem being solved, encouraging them to spread the word to help others have their problems solved too, while benefiting from the growth of the project. Serious growth juices kicking if you paint that picture. 🧃✅ In my opinion, we’ve not seen the true extent of web3 communities because we’ve hardly built anything of real-world use case yet. Am I being harsh? #community #communitybuilding #web3community
