dc.description.abstractHow would you feel if you faced climate hazards - in someone else’s shoes? How would your gender, age, your physical and mental abilities, your health, the way other people treat you affect how you could respond? What if different members of the community got together to tackle climate-related problems? How could you make the most of your potential? CDKN has expanded its interactive role-playing exercises to explore exactly these questions. The new game pack uses a colourful cast of characters set in a fictional, small South Asian town. Krishna Nagar - the fictional, low-income neighbourhood in the latest training game - is set in an Indian coastal city. Climate change has brought sea level rise and more frequent high waves, and with it, coastal flooding to the neighbourhood. It has also brought heavier rain, which bursts the banks of the river running through the city and washes dirty water into the streets. Floods have forced people to evacuate several times. Deaths from malaria have increased. Infrastructure and urban services are straining to support people and animals. Something must be done to make the residents’ lives more bearable! Put yourself in character to have a conversation about what makes you vulnerable to climate and what makes you able to contribute to solutions.en
