Play with Clim’Way® and create your climate plan. Help the community reach the objectives it has set! Will 50 years be enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cut energy consumption and adjust Clim’Way® to new climate conditions?

 

When it comes to climate change, Clim’Way is a climate change game that has it all! You will have several objectives in this climate change game. Your main goals will be to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75 percent, reduce energy by 40 percent, and increase the production of renewable energy by 60 percent between 2008 and 2058. Every year you will be allocated points that will help you reach these goals. Use Public Authority Points (PA), Enterprise Points (EP), and Citizens Points (PC) in order to carry out actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions at every turn.

The climate change game is extremely detailed because each category has many subcategories as well. You will have a finite amount of points during every turn. Use strategies to select the sequence in which you will initiate certain events and upgrades. Selecting random events and upgrades won’t help you win this game. With hundreds of choices throughout the climate change game, players will receive a detailed description of each choice. They will get to receive a list of both advantages and disadvantages for each choice. An extremely detailed statistics window will allow players to monitor their progress throughout the climate change game.
