UN launches virtual game to teach young people how important it is to protect the environment

Avatar in the metaverse

A Ozone Secretariat used cutting-edge motion capture technology to bring his new character to life in reset earth, Apollo. 

Technology has produced not just a realistic animated character, but its own metaverse, where she spends her time vlogging about a range of educational topics, based on scientific research. 

Students become the decision makers

The game Impact Simulator puts students in the spotlight. As decision makers, they decide on four possible policy directions, all with specific outcomes documented and visualized by the game. 

Based on your knowledge of the ozone layer, its function and importance, the impacts of its decisions on the environment, society, economy and political hegemony are recorded and scored.

“By providing young people with innovative learning tools, we hope to inspire them to become future scientists and policymakers who advocate for environmental protection,” said Meg Seki, Executive Secretary of the Ozone Secretariat.  

Protect the ozone layer

Although the ozone layer is on the road to recovery by mid-century thanks to the efforts of the Montreal Protocol, the successes achieved so far could easily be undone.

Ozone layer will have recovered in four decades, says UN

The ozone layer that covers the stratosphere and protects the planet from solar radiation will have been reconstituted in the next four decades, if it continues on its current trajectory — states an international scientific report released this Monday (9).

Future generations need to be aware of the importance of ozone layer, because its protection is essential to contain the increase in climate change and protect the planet.

please note that the Montreal Protocol is a global agreement to protect the ozone layer of the Earth, gradually eliminating the chemicals that destroy it. The historic agreement came into force in 1989 and is one of the most successful global environmental agreements.
