Climate Change

A Northgate Training Game

New climate change activity involving decision making activity. Ideal for a training course, conference or seminar.

How well will you satisfy all the interested parties? How good is your decision making? How well will you score?

As a team of government advisers, you decide on a number of ideas designed to raise public awareness of the evidence for climate change.

Government initiatives are called for but governments also need votes. What is good for the planet may be a million miles away from what is good for the electorate!

Each idea has a series of pros and cons – and, of course, a cost. It is your task, as a team, to consider each option: its ability to do the job, the possible downsides, and the overall cost. Does it go far enough? How will the electorate react? If morale in the country drops too much the government will go at the next election!

For each initiative, you have six options for the way forward. Your decision is entered into the one computer which generates a short report, a score, a budget balance and the next initiative. Beware of unexpected outcomes! As with decisions at work, some have unforeseen consequences for you to address.

At the end each team receives an overall score for their decision making skills. Allow up to 40 minutes for the debrief!

Participants will learn:

• to adopt a decision making process
• to keep all team members on board
• to have clear objectives to guide decisions
• to make informed, evidence-based decisions
• to keep emotions out of the group decisions process
• ways to reach consensus.
