The game, World Rescue, was supported by UNESCO and the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development, and was inspired by, and helps teach about the SDGs. Game players help five young heroes tackle community solutions to global problems in fast-paced settings in Kenya, Norway, Brazil, India and China. Assisting game players to confront displacement, disease, deforestation, drought and pollution cultivates empathy in new audiences, and opens new dimensions to the concept of ‘think global, act local’.
