According to
Lewis Gordon, the new generation of game developers is more concerned about the
Climate Crisis; thus, developers are creating video games with a more
environmentally conscious focus. The effort of this generation is not
isolated. Sam Barratt, the
UN Environment’s Chief of Education, Youth
& Advocacy, said, “The video gaming industry is probably the most
powerful medium in the world regarding attention, reach and engagement.”
In 2020, the UN released a project called
Playing 4 the Planet that supports video games with an
environmental theme.
