Climate change is a defining issue of our time, and we are at a turning point. From changing weather patterns that threaten food production to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global and unprecedented. If we don't adopt drastic measures that lead to adopting sustainable behaviours, adapting to these impacts in the future will be a much more complex and challenging environmental, social and economic task.

With this in mind, a collaborative board game was created Risks: Learn and Avoid - in large format and developed under the project "Communication and Awareness Raising in Risk Scenarios Associated with Climate Change", with funding approved under the Operational Programme for Sustainability and Efficiency in the Use of Resources, under the number POSEUR-02-1708-FC-000049.

The aim of this cooperative game is, on the one hand, to alert students in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles of primary school to the urgent reality of climate change - with the main focus on the municipality of Setúbal - and on the other, to make them aware and raising awareness to adopt preventive and self-protection measures.

In this game, there are no opponents; the players form a single team, cooperate and have to complete a course to win. Its format and approach to content allow for two levels of play: level 1 is aimed at primary school students and level 2 at secondary school students, adapting to the skills and motivations of these two specific age groups.

The game also has a Teacher's Guide, a support tool for teachers in preparing the game's theme, which includes the rules for using the game, proposals for transdisciplinary activities on climate change adapted to each level of education, sources of documentation and bibliography.

The aim is for students to enjoy unique moments that combine fun with learning and sharing knowledge and that raise awareness and stimulate discussion about one of the most significant contemporary problems.
