Pablo Suarez - Games To Help The Red Cross Help You

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

How can we accelerate the integration of climate science into humanitarian work for better disaster risk management? The Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre has been working with partners through an innovative approach: participatory games, deployed from rural Ethiopia to the White House, to support learning and dialogue on how to deal with extreme weather events and climate change. Join us for an intensely interactive session where you will experience our playable system dynamic models that link information, decisions, and consequences.
