From Executive Summary to Climate Action How Live Action Role Playing can energize the IPCC climate crisis report
Live action games can be a powerful tool for raising consciousness about the sixth IPCC climate crisis report. Here are some ways LARPs can be designed to achieve this:
1. Increase Awareness
Host climate-themed events
LARP organizers can create scenarios that simulate the consequences of climate change. For example, they can design a scenario where players have to navigate through a flooded city or a drought-stricken area. This can help players understand the impacts of climate change and the urgency of taking action.
LARP groups can collaborate with climate activists and organizations to host events that focus on climate change. This can include panel discussions, workshops, and presentations on the IPCC climate crisis executive summary and other relevant reports.Integrate climate messaging into game mechanics:
LARP organizers can integrate climate messaging into the game mechanics of their events. For example, they can make resource management and sustainability key components of the game, encouraging players to think about their impact on the environment.Use social media:
LARP groups can use social media to raise awareness about climate change and the IPCC climate crisis executive summary. They can share information about the report, as well as post photos and videos of their climate-themed events and games.
Collaborate with other organizations: LARP groups can collaborate with other organizations working on climate change to amplify their message. This can include working with climate activists, NGOs, and other organizations to organize joint events and campaigns.
By incorporating climate themes into their games and events, LARP groups can help raise awareness about the urgent need to address the climate crisis and promote action to mitigate its impacts.
