Abstract:

The article presents the scientific-based strategic board game Neighbourhood with Climate, which aims to become an educational tool for adaptation on a local scale to climate change in temperate climates. The game used in climate education supports citizen engagement, empowering people with the knowledge of naturebased solutions (NbS), which could be applied to prepare and protect themselves and their community from extreme weather in temperate climates. As it combines social engagement and environmental and economic elements, it fulfils the criteria for Education for Sustainable Development. In this game, unlike many other computer or board games, neighbours play on real maps of their estate or neighbourhood and work out the changes that can be implemented in the city. The paper can encourage scientists to create similar local educational tools for other climate zones and financial realities.
