With more than 3 billion gamers on the planet, plus a tonne of green themed content, tune in to explore the ways in which people are playing for the planet, and how games can help us change the world for the better, together. Resources: Follow Deborah on Twitter Follow Deborah on LinkedInWatch Deborah’s TEDx Talk – Why video games aren’t a waste of timeCheck out Games for GoodCheck out Playing for the PlanetCheck out Green Game JamRead the Green Game Jam Player ResearchCheck out the IGDA Climate SIG Deborah’s recommended green video games: Terra NilThe Wandering VillageRiders RepublicListen to more Climate Curious episodes on creativity: Esteban Gast, Can climate change be funny?Xavier Cortada, What is an eco-artist? Kumi Naidoo, What is artivism?Katharine Hayhoe, Why talking is the most important thing you can do to fight climate change

Are you Climate Curious? If you care about the world, but find the current conversation about climate change confusing, scary or boring – then this might be the podcast for you. Join TEDxLondon and co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst as we lift the lid on the climate emergency by speaking to the world’s leading and most relatable climate pioneers. Find out why cities are key to the climate fight, why we need to tackle systemic problems (and not just plastic straws), and why we’re all a bit crap at sustainability.
