\"Games<\/a>The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future at Boston University has released a new Task Force Report titled Games for a New Climate: Experiencing the Complexity of Future Risks.<\/a> <\/em>The report is a collaborative effort of the 12-member Task Force, which was convened\u00a0on behalf of the Pardee Center by Visiting Research Fellow Pablo Suarez in collaboration with\u00a0Red Cross\/Red Crescent Climate Centre.<\/p>\n

The report was compiled and edited by\u00a0Janot Mendler de Suarez<\/a>, Pablo Suarez<\/a> and Carina Bachofen<\/a>, includes contributions from all of the Task Force members, and provides a detailed exploration of the current and potential ways in which games can be used to help a variety of stakeholders \u2013 including subsistence farmers, humanitarian workers, scientists, policymakers, and donors.\u00a0The report discusses how games can\u00a0help stakeholders both understand and experience the difficulty and risks related to decision-making in a complex and uncertain future<\/p>\n

The dozen Task Force experts represent academic institutions, humanitarian organization, other non-governmental organizations, and game design firms with backgrounds ranging from climate modeling and anthropology to community-level disaster management and national and global policymaking as well as game design. The group met at Pardee House<\/a> in March 2012 to begin development of the report and participate in a day-long gaming session<\/a> organized by Suarez.<\/p>\n
