Climate Call Game - A fun and educational card game

ABOUT THE GAME

What do you think causes the largest climate impact? A flight across the Atlantic, eating one steak per day for a year, or heating a house? Find out how everyday activities affect the climate by playing Climate Call! The game is fun, engaging, informative and it typically leads to lively discussions and eye-opening discoveries! One round takes about 15 minutes to play. The game is ideal for a group of 2 to 6 players, 12 years or older. The climate impacts have been estimated by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden.

Climate Call is published by Klimatkoll Guldheden AB in Sweden.

USING CLIMATE CALL IN EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The Climate Call game is an excellent resource for everyone who teaches about climate and sustainable development to students aged 12 and above. The game can be used as an effective and educational tool to educate, inspire and engage students within the framework of climate and sustainable development education. As of the year 2025, approximately 65 000 games have been distributed and/or sold, and played by an estimated 1 000 000 people in total, a large share being students. Over 2 000 teachers and teacher students have been trained in how the game can be used as an educational tool.

Since 2020, we have been running a major initiative to promote education for sustainable development and climate education. The initiative began in Sweden with support from Formas – the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development – and has since expanded to many other countries. Our goal is to foster curiosity and action among students while equipping educators with relevant and effective resources tailored to the curriculum.

Climate Call can be used in all subjects that are related to climate and sustainable development, such as natural science, technology, geography, social studies, and home economics. It encourages meaningful classroom discussions, supports active learning, and strengthens students’ understanding of real-world sustainability challenges.

CALCULATIONS

Are you curious about how we have calculated the emissions associated with the activities on the cards? Detailed explanations for a selection of cards are available under “Card Calculations”!

If the cards in your deck don’t match the cards for which we provide calculation explanations, you’re probably playing with an older edition of the game. Click on “Different editions of the game” for more information about the differences between the various editions.
