About this Event
The 2030 SDG Game is a multiplayer, card-based game that simulates taking the “real world” into 2030. This game was inspired by the United Nations' 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The game participants working together and in groups, will explore how the world can achieve sustainability goals. Will you create a prosperous, fair, and sustainable world?
The 2030 SDGs Game is a powerful simulation experience that will help you explore what the world could be like in 2030 and will hint at the mindset and actions required to build a better world. In the game, you will spend time and money to run projects to achieve your mission…
What kind of world will emerge by 2030? What will be the impact of your decisions? What will the other people in your world do? All will be revealed when you join us to play the game.
After the simulation, we will have time to reflect and discuss what we experienced, what difference we can make, and how we can connect the game world to our real world.

A warming globe, increasing numbers of refugees and displaced persons, gender disparity, economic inequalities, freshwater shortages, famine, war… We are bombarded with these issues and many others facing the planet and its inhabitants daily.
To address these issues, the UN established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030. The Goals, adopted in 2015, call on governments and civil society worldwide to address the world's most pressing issues, from poverty and education to health and the environment.
I-Week is a chance to hear international and local perspectives on global issues. On February 5-10, 2024, International Week speakers will connect their work to the SDGs.
