Playing for the Planet Initiative

Playing for the Planet is a United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)-supported initiative that encourages the video game industry to take action for the environment. In joining the Alliance, games companies and organisations have made specific and measurable commitments on sustainability, from reducing carbon emissions to integrating green activations in games.

Playing for the Planet supports progress on these commitments by providing guidance and tools, including an industry-tailored carbon calculator, and opportunities like the annual Green Game Jam. This event supports video game studios that focus on incorporating an environmental theme into their games, and up to 2024 has raised over $700,000 for wildlife conservation and planted over 2.5 million trees.
