Posted - 10/13/2014 Having Serious Fun at the Let’s Adapt: Games for Climate Change Resiliency Workshop by Lien Tran, University of Miami
UofM_adapt.jpgHere’s a video giving you a glimpse into the serious fun we had during the Let’s Adapt workshop. You can also visit us on Flickr to find images from the workshop.

We often think of games as just for entertainment and fun and as an activity to pass the time, possibly when socializing with friends. We spend 3 billion hours a week as a planet playing videogames. Fortunately, there are also games out there designed to make a positive social impact by either making players aware of a political concern like the Darfur conflict or a socioeconomic issue like unemployment and poverty. Games are also starting to be used by humanitarian organizations that have a tough job explaining intangible concepts with long-term consequences. Like climate change adaptation, well-designed games involve decisions with consequences. » Read More


Posted - 10/12/2014 Breaking Up With Fossil Fuels #2 - As You Sow

As You Sow

ITP Grant Partner, As You Sow, is developing a project that includes planning the development of a media campaign that will dispel myths propagated by the fossil fuel industry that people need fossil fuels to thrive.

Posted - 10/11/2014 Games for the Caribbean Climate: Promoting Interactive, Systems-Based Approaches for Climate Change Adaptation in the Caribbean
Univ_Miami_org_logo.png
Public awareness of climate change is reaching new highs, and the Caribbean is just one of many areas around the world that has its eyes on the future. As a result, understanding climate risks and helping communities reduce their vulnerability to future climate change is a priority for a number of organizations in the region. Thanks to funding from Invoking the Pause, the University of Miami’s School of Communication (UM), the IFRC Red Cross Caribbean Disaster Risk Management Reference Center (CADRIM), and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre (RCCC), were able to introduce an innovative approach to reach stakeholders in the Caribbean with climate-related games.                                                                                         » Read More
