STRATEGIES
Sustainable TRAnsiTion for Europe’s Game IndustrIES is a Horizon Europe funded project that supports Europe’s game industries in realising their potential as drivers of sustainable innovation, contributing to achieving the goals of the European Green Deal and delivering an economy that works for people.
Europe’s game developers are a vital cultural and creative industry whose capacity to meet climate goals must be achieved as a matter of urgency.
To address the challenges and opportunities facing Europe’s game developers, the STRATEGIES project offers a programme of research devised by small and micro game developers at the forefront of green transformations, non-governmental organisations supporting business development of the game industries in Finland, Germany, and the Netherlands, experts working at the intersection of policy and sustainability science, and academics working at the leading-edge of the study of games and climate change.
The STRATEGIES project will develop policy recommendations and business model analysis to unlock the potential of the game industries to drive societal change.
We are developing leading-edge carbon accounting tools for both analogue and video game production and carbon literacy training for game developers.
Finally, our research will develop and promote improved game design for sustainability, helping the game industries make games that support the behavior changes among citizens that will be key to the success of policy aimed at societal transformation.
The STRATEGIES project will run from February 2024 to February 2028.
