The Games
The world’s largest Disobedient Action Adventure Game
It’s December 2015. You have a heart filled with courage, a mobile phone and plans for creative mischief. Your team is ready to merge street and online disobedience. The COP21 UN climate summit is just opening in Paris. Manifestations of ‘the Mesh’ — austerity-dictating politicians, fossil fuel corporations, industry lobbyists, peddlers of false solutions and greenwashers – are converging to solve the climate catastrophe. Or so they tell us.
We are not convinced.
Your objective is to join the global movements swarming to shift the game against profit and in favour of life.
The Climate Games are where action-adventure meets actual change. Anyone can play this real-time, real-world game and turn Paris and the world into a giant, direct action playing field for climate justice. We have everything to play for – but time is running out.
Why Play?
The climate catastrophe is unraveling our life support systems and dispossessing communities everywhere. And this is just the beginning. For 20 years (hence COP21) the same players have been playing by the same rigged rules: “business as usual”. The only thing that has come out of the talks is hot air and a rise of CO2 emissions of over 60%. This absurd show cannot be left unchallenged.
A climate justice movement is rising (even faster than the temperatures and sea levels!) and Paris will be a world stage where we, people power, raise the curtain on the smoke and mirrors of false corporate promises and pierce through the Mesh’s hold on us.
We are the foxes that wake up at dawn, the mushrooms that appear overnight.
We are microbes and mountains, starfish and stardust.
