World leader for one day with the Perspectivity Climate Challenge.

Challenge: Climate challenge

In the dynamic landscape of economic development, prosperity reigns supreme. However, amidst the glitz and glamour of growth, there lurk shadows of environmental consequences. How do we navigate towards long-term sustainable prosperity in the complexity of international relations and environmental concerns? What kind of leadership is required?

Gameplay

Step in the shoes of a visionary world leader, tasked with maximizing your region’s economic performance over the span of 10 years. Neighbouring regions strive for similar goals as they invest in infrastructure and factories while strategically positioning themselves on the world stage. But beware, every choice carries consequences and leaders must tread carefully, balancing the allure of infrastructure and industrial expansion against the backdrop of global geopolitics and sustainability issues.

Learnings

Leadership is not merely about making decisions; it’s about bearing the weight of consequence. Participants experience the adrenaline rush of rapid decision-making, the art of negotiation and diplomacy, of trust-building, and the crucible of conflict resolution. Witness the impact of your decisions on yourself and others, and learn how to navigate in situations of conflicting interests and discover the best or worst version of yourself.

The Perspectivity climate challenge isn’t just a game; it’s a transformative odyssey that offers a profound insight into the delicate dance between progress and sustainability, of self-interest versus common good, of leadership and followship.

Target groups

Executives, university professors, managers, NGO staff, government officials, university students, groups of friends. The climate game is the most widely used edition in all sorts of trainings, learning programs, or short team sessions on complexity, sustainability, personal leadership.
