The Institute for Social and Environmental Transition-International, is an action research non-profit and pioneer in the space of urban climate resilience and climate adaptation. In the early 2010’s very few people in the U.S. were thinking about how to address climate change in cities. The challenge here was to engage diverse audiences in technical subject matter that left a lasting impression.

We needed something that would draw people in. We also needed to keep them engaged so that we could share information with them. What we came up with was a series of hands-on games.

These interactive games enabled an exchange of ideas, while providing a collaborative environment for people to bring their own experiences and knowledge about urban climate resilience to the table. These games were delivered in a number of ways at TEDxMileHigh, the National Adaptation Forum, Stockholm World Water Week, Rockefeller Foundation headquarters in New York, and guest lectures at the University of Colorado Boulder.
