SUSTAINABLE TRANSITION FOR EUROPE’S GAME INDUSTRIES

战略的目标是支持欧洲的游戏产业实现其作为可持续创新驱动力的潜力，为实现欧洲绿色协议的目标做出贡献，并提供一个为人民服务的经济。欧洲的游戏开发商是一个至关重要的文化和创意产业，其实现气候目标的能力必须作为当务之急来实现。游戏开发的规模、能源和资源密集型性质意味着这些行业是温室气体（GHG）排放和生态破坏的主要贡献者。欧洲有超过4，900个视频游戏开发工作室，雇用98，000名员工，总收入为233亿欧元。虽然规模较小，但欧洲的棋盘游戏行业也是一个重要的CCI，预计到2023年收入将达到40亿美元。游戏开发人员和视频游戏开发人员分享专业知识，创造性实践和工人，并可以相互支持，以应对挑战并抓住机遇。在视频和模拟游戏开发中，微型和小型企业占行业的90%以上。事实上，大多数开发商都是微型企业，这在他们的气候转型中提出了具体的挑战。然而，游戏开发商也是欧洲CCI的先行者，为绿色技术开发和商业创新铺平了道路。此外，游戏开发需要创新的设计实践，可以利用这些实践来推动包容性的社会气候转型。该项目不仅解决了行业面临的挑战，而且抓住了游戏开发商的机会，以及欧洲公民对游戏前所未有的影响，认识到自下而上的行为改变是社会转型政策成功的关键。

STRATEGIES aim is to support Europe’s game industries in realising their potential as drivers of sustainable innovation, contributing to achieving the goals of the European Green Deal and delivering an economy that works for people. Europe’s game developers are a vital cultural and creative industry whose capacity to meet climate goals must be achieved as a matter of urgency. The size, energy and resource intensive nature of game development means that these industries are key contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and ecological destruction. There are over 4,900 video game developer studios in Europe, employing 98,000 people, with a combined revenue of €23.3bn. Although smaller in size, Europe’s board game industry is also a significant CCI, with revenues projected to reach $4 billion by 2023. Analogue and video game developers share expertise, creative practices, and workers, and can support one another to meet challenges and take up opportunities. In video and analogue game development, micro and small enterprises represent over 90% of the industries. The fact that most developers are micro enterprises presents specific challenges in their climate transition. However, game developers are also first movers among Europe’s CCIs, paving the way in green technological developments and business innovation. Furthermore, game development requires innovative design practices that can be harnessed to drive an inclusive societal climate transition. This project not only addresses the challenges faced by the industries, then, but seizes on the opportunities for game developers, and on the unprecedented reach of games among European citizens, recognizing the role of bottom-up behaviour change as key to the success of policy aimed at societal transformation.
