Play a state and keep the climate cool!
Short Description
In a game of KEEP COOL, three to six players represent groups of states such as Europe, OPEC or developing countries. For one to two hours, they can choose between “black” and “green” growth, but also adapt to unavoidable climate consequences such as droughts and floods. These increase in severity as the world temperature rises. In addition, lobby groups such as the oil industry or environmental associations must be taken into account. The winner will be the one who best reconciles climate protection and lobby interests. But if some act too ruthlessly, everyone loses.
