Abstract

The environmental, social and political challenges of the twenty-first century are interconnected and interdependent: they are systemic. To address these challenges systemically, systems thinking and ecoliteracy skills need to be communicated and promoted. We present a combined physical and virtual reality game experience that invites players to become climate scientists in the Amazon rainforest and role play as participants at a UN climate summit. This aims to achieve environmental transformational change where, traditionally, presentation of research alone has not been effective.
