The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has partnered with PlanetPlay to launch the Play2Act initiative, which aims to harness the influence of the gaming community to drive global positive environmental action. The initiative gathers player comments on how video games can help combat climate change and protect nature through in-game polls. The data collected will help shape a better understanding of how games can inspire collective action on environmental issues. Leading gaming companies are founding partners of the initiative and are promoting Play2Act within their games or through social media. The UN and the gaming industry are demonstrating how entertainment platforms can be turned into vehicles for meaningful change.
