Paper short abstract

Carbon negative economies have to cascade resources. We apply and investigate game based approaches to engage and learn with stakeholders. Continued interaction and workshops including games can stimulate reflexive knowledge creation and drive change.

Paper long abstract

Under the conditions of ambitions climate targets, carbon dioxide removal cannot (CDR) be avoided. A society employing CDR will be confronted with cascading its resources. Carbon negative cascades require various actors to work together in sequestering carbon, transporting and storing it. Conventionally, governments regulate with a mix of market mechanisms and bureaucracy.

We are exploring how to build sustainable and reflexive carbon cascades together with stakeholders. Our approaches include workshop formats, card games and video games, where we try to discuss pragmatic climate solutions as well als reflexive thinking. These methods aim at enhance stakeholder networks and build lasting coalitions to drive change.

Our paper builds on several national research projects as well as extra-academic work to build serious games.
