Gaming for climate action and biodiversity
The Green Game Jam is organized by the Playing for the Planet Alliance, a United Nations Environment Programme-facilitated initiative. The goal of the Jam is to inspire climate action among millions of players worldwide through games they know and love.

"Too often, nature is taken for granted. It’s seen as a ‘forever asset’ that we don’t need to worry about, often serving as just an epic stage that serves as a backdrop for game play. This year we wanted to try and change that and set studios the challenge of pulling nature into the foreground so that a bridge is built so players can connect, care and then act for nature."
