About Operation Climate Control

The Operation: Climate Control is an interactive learning environment in which students in England at Key Stage 4 learn about the challenges of climate change. The core of the project is a fun and engaging multi-player computer game where the player's role is to decide on local environmental policy for Europe for the entire 21st century.

Operation: Climate Control is supported by an online teachers resource pack, including lesson plans and background reading material which places the game within the school curriculum. It covers the basics of climate science and the technology and policy options available to tackle climate change.

The game has been developed by Red Redemption Ltd., a leading environmental games company, who have previously developed Climate Challenge a similar game aimed at young professionals for BBC Science and Nature.

The Operation: Climate Control has been funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) as part of the Climate Challenge Fund, which aims to "educate, excite and inspire others so that we can start working together to tackle climate change".

The game is free for use by schools and other educational institutions in England and the UK.
