Staggering insights about climate change and its impact on business, tech, finance and politics. Subscribe here

This was the deflating result of a game I played last week on the Financial Times’ website. Unveiled on the eve of Earth Day, The Climate Game has been developed in partnership with Indian IT giant Infosys. (More on this later.)
Stuck as I was, sifting through the week’s deluge of press releases, FT’s gaming exercise was refreshing. Shock, awe, threat, reward, gamification—anything that can increase awareness on climate change is welcome.
One shouldn’t read too much into such games, I get that. Still, my takeaway is in sync with what climate experts have been telling us lately. I played the game rather conservatively; being realistic in my budget allocations and choice of climate schemes to back.
But that’s exactly what we don’t need at this point.
