Last Friday we did our first World Energy Exercise at ITBA. This workshop features an interactive role playing gaming in which 6 groups: energy supply, energy eficiency, population and consumption, climate hawks, carbon pricing, agriculture and land use, negotiate a strategic plan to migrate to a sustainable climate friendly economy.
Fifty people participated in the workshop, and although the workshop started at 4 pm and formally ended at 8 pm, many people remained talking in the classroom till 9:30 pm!!!
To do the workshop we translated the briefing materials to Spanish during the last months of 2014. We intended to do the World Energy in Costa Rica during the Latam Chapter System Dynamics conference at INCAE Business School.
The World Energy Exercise is being designed and improved by Climate Interactive, mainly by Drew Jones.
Drew Jones, co director climate interactive.
After two negotiation rounds, Drew Jones joined the workshop through skype for the workshop debriefing.
Although there are many issues to iron, and the World Energy exercise is still under development, it generated in the participants an impressive desire to start climate change reduction initiatives.
I will add pictures to this post!
