Hi all, Just a quick message to share this Carbon Pricing Simulation Game I've created: Game: https://genshanahan.github.io/carbon-pricing-simulation-game/ GitHub: https://github.com/genshanahan/carbon-pricing-simulation-game One big challenge I've run into in teaching critical perspectives on sustainable business and society is helping students understand the basics of carbon pricing so they can critically appraise different approaches in good faith. To address this I created the Carbon Pricing Simulation Game: a free, browser-based interactive classroom simulation that walks students through carbon pricing from first principles. Students join on their phones via QR code and compete as firms through five regulatory regimes - Free Market, Command & Control, Carbon Tax, Cap, and Cap & Trade - so they can feel how each pricing mechanism shapes incentives before we critically appraise them. The critical appraisal is supported by suggested discussion questions on the final page of the simulator, highlighting issues relating to global climate justice, green colonialism, assumptions regarding economic growth, etc. My students and I had a LOT of fun with it in class this term. It's open-source, requires no downloads or accounts, and runs in ~90 minutes. If you teach about the climate crisis please try it out and let me know what you think!
