You are very welcome! I'm glad it hit the mark. Yes - I hope the article was sufficiently clear it was a jam game and undergoing future changes! The inspiration for the game and bibliography is quite literate and food for thought. I've engaged in climate science but not the politics of climate change, which is entirely the point of the game. I'll check out the link.

Glad you found the bibliography intriguing! I got my degree specialising in environmental history and then trained and (briefly!) worked as a history teacher, so I can't resist the urge to share texts with people. If you are interested in the politics of climate justice, I can also send you an epub version of Dunlap's book so you can read the chapter which our game is based on!
Unfortunately I don't have a digital copy of Dismantling Green Colonialism, which is a drier but more stark look at how large infrastructure projects (including renewable energy projects) are foisted on impoverished communities as a tool of domination and control (e.g. the EU using them as a tool of it's neo-colonial economic domination of Africa and the Middle East, while Morocco uses wind farms specifically to deny statehood to the Western Saharan peoples which it occupies), and that those with the biggest stakes in renewable projects are typically petro-chemical companies diversifying their portfolios to fund further unsustainable extraction.
I'll avoid lecturing any further, but thanks again for your interest in our game and our themes!
Thanks for the thoughtful reply! I think I have a few avenues to locate the texts myself to save the trouble. I briefly worked as a geography teacher incidentally! It's a welcome discussion, I hope the jam was an enjoyable inway to development that you continue, these sort of thought-provoking games are really commendable.
