2030 Sustainable Development Goals Game (Singapore)

What is the 2030 SDGs Game?

It's a facilitated multiplayer, card-based game that simulates taking the world into the year 2030. During the game, up to 50 participants work together to explore how the world can achieve a prosperous, fair and sustainable future. The whole experience takes 2.5 hours including game-play, reflection and some time for networking.

What will my takeaways be?

The game is an innovative, unique and highly collaborative approach to real-world issues. You not only get a deeper understanding of what the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals are, but also learn in a fun, playful way about their interconnectedness as well as how they can be achieved by 2030.

Where does the game come from?

Designed in Japan in 2016, this experience has become a powerful and impactful social phenomenon in Japan, earning extensive media coverage and reaching over 15,000 participants last year. 2030 SDGs Game events are held in corporate, governmental, educational, and community settings, and now has over 300 trained facilitators in a rapidly growing community within Japan.

Who will facilitate the game?

The game will be led by Timothy Tang, a local certified facilitator. As the world gathers in Belém, Brazil for COP30 (COP30 is the 30th annual UN climate meeting, where governments discuss how to limit and prepare for further climate change). We invite you to take part in something extraordinary — a coordinated global movement of people playing the 2030 SDGs Game and adding their voices to the conversations about climate action.

Who can participate?

You! Anyone, whether working in a business, school, living in the community, public-sector employees... anyone who is interested in sustainability and thinking about the world in 2030 is welcome.
