Biosphere Guardians 2050
A downloadable game
Biosphere Guardians 2050 is an exciting tabletop roleplaying game design exchange project for young people themed around biodiversity and climate action.
Participants based in Kempten (Germany), Trento (Italy), Sligo (Ireland) and from across Wales (UK) worked together to create a vision of the near future where humanity has begun acting as a responsible element in the world.
In the near future, vast nature reserves have been set up across the world to counteract the climate crisis and let nature return. The Biosphere Guardians are the scientists, rangers and ambassadors protecting and managing these new 'lungs of the Earth'.
Despite this global positive turn, things do not always go to plan, surprising new dangers can emerge, and for some people the temptations of old, destructive habits are hard to leave behind...
The project was for young people from Kempten, Trento, Sligo and Wales aged 16-25 and free of charge. It ran from Autumn 2022 to Summer 2024, with regular local meetings and online meetings, special events, as well as a number of trips. Participants had opportunities to play and socialise with peers from across Europe, discuss important issues with experts from many fields and engage actively and creatively in game design.
