Content components The Adaptation Game (also known as TAG) provides a fictional experience of ‘living through’ 3 natural disasters in players’ local areas. It enabled players to create place‑based storylines that clearly and meaningfully humanised disaster planning and climate change adaptation in a practical, actionable way. It is a practical workshop that simulates how you and your community respond to the next 10 years of climate change in your town.TAG has been designed to be accessible to everyone. It has "game" in the name, but it's more of a platform for a community conversation. TAG is not like Monopoly! It is a facilitated cooperative experience designed to support you every step of the way.TAG supports climate resilience by:connecting people with each other and highlighting the importance of strong, connected communitiesreducing anxiety about climate change by focusing on realistic, collective responses to disastersincreasing agency and confidence to act early and prepare togetherreducing feelings of isolation by showing participants they are not alone in their concernssparking practical conversations about local climate resilience and disaster readiness.Who should play?The game is suited for people ages 16+ who are interested in learning more about climate risks and what actions you can take to be more resilient in Boroondara.
