game as social system

actors	rule(s)	resource(s)
players	events	game space
roles	evaluation	situation
goals	facilitator(s)	context

criteria

relevance -- what is our message?
identity -- who are we?
impact -- why would anybody be interested?

Fig 1. Climate Star

climate star

climate strategies -- (1) emission reduction, (2) adaptation
climate systems -- (3) feedback monitoring, (4) investment in research, (5) climate response
energy and CO2 -- (6) investment in efficiency, (7) investment in green technology, (8) governement rules
regional development -- (9) campain for awareness, (10) securing food and water
adaptation measures -- (11) public space, (12) water management, (13) use of natural resources
