A smartphone game launched by the United Nations aims to raise awareness about the planet's climate crisis. Players of “Mission 1.5” must decide what measures to take to keep global warming below 1.5°C. The game aims to raise awareness about the danger of the climate crisis and gather information about possible policies to combat it.
According to the United Nations Development Programme, the aim of the initiative is to develop the largest global survey on climate action. The data will be analyzed by the University of Oxford, and UNDP will share with governments so that they can take this information into account when formulating policies. “With this campaign, we have the ability to connect millions of people and governments in an innovative two-way conversation about solutions to the climate crisis,” says UNDP chief Achim Steiner.
