Project Description
Preparing for Climate Change
Planit4CAST learning simulation models the life of a virtual community with eight teams, representing key partners in the community such as Transport, Utilities, Town Hall, Housing, Health, Education and Emergency Services etc. The partnership needs to implement the key climate change indicators over a 20 year time frame.
Implementing both mitigation and adaptation strategies and considering economic, social and environmental factors, delegates have to work together to solve problems, understand cause & effect, and develop win-win solutions.
Excellent simulation exercise – encouraged collaboration & lateral thinking
Innovative approach to tackling climate change agenda / issues. Provided a way to understand the importance of why organisations should work together to gain maximum value.

Teams spend their budgets. They negotiate and seek win-wins with other teams. They present their decisions to the the group and the facilitator – explaining what they have done and why.
Review
After the round has been updated – decisions are processed in the game algorithm – the teams review the situation. They look at the score and consider what worked and what didn’t. The next round begins …
