项目摘要

The Climate Action Game project will use a co-design method to develop a boardgame focusing on climate research/action in the built environment. Climate change adaptation and mitigation in the built environment, while being researched, are not yet at the forefront of policy, public awareness or action (Harrop, 2018); e.g., public awareness about the amount of carbon that buildings use and produce appears low.The PI's doctoral research project, entitled 'Youth's perceptions towards the planning of the future 'smart city' in Europe' explores the perceptions of 15-19-year-olds towards future urban development and aims to develop new methodologies of engaging young people in urban planning and to critically appraise future city visions against the needs of that demographic. The PI has experience in working with teenagers in research and design contexts.The Co-I's doctoral project 'A critical realist perspective on environmental governance in city region planning' uses Birmingham City Region as a case study to explore linking ecosystems science and urban planning, identifying barriers and opportunities for a shift towards effective climate change action and nature-based solutions. The Co-I's subject, knowledge and locational focus are directly relevant to this bid. She collaborated in past UKRC-funded projects that developed a game (Rufopoly; https://www.bcu.ac.uk/research/stories/rural-urban-fringe) a participatory game-making resource (www.participology.com) and a planning game (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/place-makers-educational-tool-for-teachers-11882632); in the latter instance working with GCSE and A-level students to test and refine the game.The aim will be to co-design an action research game focusing on climate education in the built environment which can be used as a teaching tool and as a community game by young people to understand how their local built environment can adapt and help achieve the climate targets set by the Paris Climate Agreement/COPs. The main activities will be online climate literacy workshops, physical game design workshops and the peer/local research conducted by the young people. The final outputs will be presented in two Community game events at the GAP Art Centre. A further game launch event will be held at Birmingham City University in the week of COP26.The target audience is threefold. First, the project aims to engage young people in climate research in the built environment by creating an engaging stand-alone product which will be enjoyable to play. Second, the game will be accompanied online by instructions how it can be used as a teaching tool in school settings. Third, other researchers and community organisations will be provided with the template (process) for developing specific local versions of the game.The GAP Art Centre will provide access to artists, young people in Balsall Health and in-kind support (reduced venue hire costs). The Birmingham Architectural Association and the West Midlands Royal Town Planning Institute will provide support in-kind by providing access to practitioners, to volunteer and inform the young people about their work in sustainability and development and disseminate the final outputs. The Anthropocene Architecture School as an independent climate literacy education consultant will provide support with the development of the game and educational focus. The intended outputs will be a website, community game events and a boardgame. The innovative aspect of public engagement will be the focus on built environment climate literacy through play. The project's impact addresses a gap in the provision of educational and youth engagement materials. Locally, the project has the potential to develop a group of young people as climate advocates. Nationally, the project can provide a clear output and a method for stimulating community interest, knowledge and action on climate change in the built environment.

气候行动游戏项目将采用共同设计的方法，开发一款侧重于建筑环境中的气候研究/行动的棋盘游戏。建筑环境中的气候变化适应和缓解虽然正在研究中，但尚未处于政策，公众意识或行动的最前沿（Harrop，2018）;例如，公众对建筑物使用和产生的碳量的认识似乎很低。PI的博士研究项目，题为“青年对欧洲未来”智慧城市“规划的看法”，探讨了15-19岁的人的看法，奥尔兹开发新的方法，让年轻人参与城市规划，并根据这个人口统计。PI拥有在研究和设计背景下与青少年合作的经验。Co-I的博士项目“城市区域规划中环境治理的批判现实主义视角”以伯明翰城市地区为案例研究，探索生态系统科学与城市规划的联系，找出障碍和机遇，转向有效的气候变化行动和基于自然的解决方案。Co-I的主题、知识和地点重点与本次投标直接相关。她参与了过去英国皇家研究中心资助的项目，开发了一个游戏（Rufopoly; https：//www.bcu.ac.uk/research/stories/rural-urban-fringe），一个参与式游戏制作资源（www.participology.com）和一个规划游戏（https：//www.tes.com/teaching-resource/place-makers-educational-tool-for-teachers-11882632）;在后一种情况下，与GCSE和A级学生合作测试和改进游戏。目的是共同设计一个行动研究游戏，侧重于建筑环境中的气候教育，可用作教学工具，也可作为年轻人的社区游戏，以了解他们当地的建筑环境如何适应和帮助实现巴黎气候协定/COPs设定的气候目标。主要活动将是在线气候扫盲讲习班，物理游戏设计讲习班和青年人进行的同伴/当地研究。最终成果将在差距艺术中心的两个社区游戏活动中展示。进一步的游戏发布活动将在伯明翰城市大学在COP 26的一周举行。目标受众是三倍。首先，该项目旨在通过创建一个有趣的独立产品，让年轻人参与建筑环境中的气候研究。其次，该游戏将伴随在线说明如何在学校环境中用作教学工具。第三，将为其他研究人员和社区组织提供开发游戏特定本地版本的模板（过程）。差距艺术中心将为艺术家，Balsall Health的年轻人提供访问和实物支持（减少场地租用成本）。伯明翰建筑协会和西米德兰兹皇家城市规划研究所将提供实物支助，让从业人员参与志愿活动，向青年人介绍他们在可持续性和发展方面的工作，并传播最后成果。作为独立的气候素养教育顾问，人类世建筑学院将为游戏的开发和教育重点提供支持。预期产出将是一个网站、社区游戏活动和一个棋盘游戏。公众参与的创新方面将侧重于通过游戏进行建筑环境气候扫盲。该项目的影响弥补了在提供教育和青年参与材料方面的差距。在当地，该项目有可能培养一批年轻人成为气候倡导者。在国家一级，该项目可以提供明确的产出和方法，以激发社区对建筑环境中气候变化的兴趣、知识和行动。
