The Gamification of Nature with Daniel Fernandez Galeote

Games serve so many different roles in our lives. They can be a form of  art, they can be a method of escapism from the hecticness of life, and  they can convene community by connecting people all across the world.  But can games also heal our relationship to nature and help us navigate  the climate crisis? Today’s guest, Daniel Fernandez Galeote is a  game designer and a doctoral researcher at the Gamification Group,  Tampere University. His research aims to understand the potential of  games for climate change engagement and combines the study of existing  games with the creation of new ones. His work is enriched by frequent  conversations with scientists, educators, activists, and game  developers, among others and considers a variety of environmental issues  and topics.
