Game: Stabilization Wedges Game - Carbon Mitigation Initiative
Summary
SUMMARY
The Stabilization Wedges Game is a team-based exercise that teaches players about the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and get us off the path toward dramatic and damaging climate change.
Stabilization Wedges Slides & Graphics
To help spread the concept of Stabilization Wedges as widely as possible, CMI has developed graphics and powerpoint slides appropriate for adult and high school audiences. If you need additional resources, please contact Roberta Hotinski
(Please note that the original "wedges" article published in 2004 showed seven (7) wedges in the stabilization triangle, but that, as emissions have continued to increase, the number of wedges needed to stabilize emissions has been raised to eight (8) in newer publications and graphics.)
