Promoting systems thinking and pro-environmental policy support through serious games
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 We evaluated whether teaching the public about the “critical zone”–the Earth’s outer skin, critical to all life—via a digital serious game can affect adults’ systems thinking about the environment and support policies to protect the environment.
