Climate Change Games as an Effective Tool for ESD Practices / Oleksandra Khalaim // Studia Periegetica. - 2017. - Nr. 1 (17). - P. 111-122.https://ekmair.ukma.edu.ua/handle/123456789/12757Climate change is one of the most acute problems humanity is facing nowadays. At the same time, the school curriculum in Ukraine in most cases does not include up-to-date, practically oriented knowledge about climate change threats. For this reason this study describes examples of well-known climate change games, translated and adaptated for use in Ukrainian schools and aims to analyze role playing games about climate change as a tool that can be used in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The article describes 12 games selected from 5 open-access sources (like WWF, Red Cross Climate Centre), which were used in pilot studies conducted in 5 Ukrainian schools in order to estimate their applicability in the school educational program for biological disciplines. The results indicate a significant effect of raising the level ofunderstanding of climate change threats and solutions; the proposed games can efficiently cover the educational gap in this field.enclimate change educationecological gamesESDrole playing gamesarticleArticle
