Games for Youth
Experience has shown the effectiveness of transmitting information about climate change risks through games and exercises based on participation, role-playing, decision making and other forms of artistic expression. This type of learning, involves sensations, feelings, new behaviours and response to various stimulus through simulated actions.
Below are a few games that are used by other National Societies to work with children and youth on climate change. Read the objective to find out which games might be most suitable for your group.
Cartoon illustrating how we should get rid of our rubbish in such a way that won't have environmental impacts.
Around the world, weather patterns are shifting
and farmers are scrambling to adjust as the
leading edge of climate change is arriving.
In quite a few places, growing seasons have
expanded, in others they have contracted. Sea
levels are rising and water tables are shrinking.
For agriculture, climate change is no longer
conjecture but a fact of daily life.

As many readers will know, the south pacific sea level and climate ,monitaring project was initially develped in the early 1990's as a respond to concerns about the potiential impacts of global warming and sea levels in the pacific. The AUSAID funded project was established with a goal of providing accurate, long term record of sea levels in the south pacific both for partner countries and international scientific community which need such information to better understand how the pacific oceanographic and meteorogical environment is changing.
Scientist say climate change is already happening and temperatures will go on rising. They expect more extreme and more erratic weather. Sea levels will rise. hundreds of millions of poor people countries will be hit hardest.
Climate Change in the Pacific is a rigorously researched, peer-reviewed scientific assessment of the climate of the western Pacific region. Building on the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, this two volume publication represents a comprehensive resource on the climate of the Pacific.
