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.

策略的目的是支持欧洲的游戏行业，以实现其作为可持续创新驱动力的潜力，有助于实现欧洲绿色交易的目标并提供对人们有效的经济。欧洲的游戏开发商是一个重要的文化和创造力行业，必须在紧急情况下实现实现气候目标的能力。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）排放和生态破坏的关键因素。欧洲有超过4,900个视频游戏开发人员工作室，雇用了98,000人，总收入为233亿欧元。尽管规模较小，但欧洲的棋盘游戏行业也是一项重要的CCI，预计到2023年，预计将达到40亿美元。模拟和视频游戏开发人员共享专业知识，创意实践和工人，并且可以互相支持以应对挑战并带来机会。在视频和模拟游戏开发中，微型企业和小型企业代表超过90％的行业。大多数开发商是微型企业的事实，在其气候过渡中提出了特定的挑战。但是，游戏开发人员也是欧洲CCIS中的首先推动者，为绿色技术开发和业务创新铺平了道路。此外，游戏开发需要可以利用的创新设计实践来推动包容性的社会气候过渡。当时，该项目不仅解决了行业所面临的挑战，而且抓住了游戏开发人员的机会，以及欧洲公民中游戏的前所未有的范围，认识到自下而上的行为变化的作用是针对社会转型的政策成功的关键。
