We are very excited to be the winners of the National Resilient Australia Local Government Award for The Adaptation Game – A Merri-bek Climate Drill.
The awards sponsored by the Australian Government and managed by the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience was celebrated in Canberra in December 2024.
The Adaptation Game brings climate change home, to the streets and backyards of residents has helped residents to feel less fearful, and instead feel empowered and knowledgeable enough to take action in their own lives.
There is the broader benefit of greater social cohesion as the game encourages players to work together and understand the strength of community.
Thank you to our wonderful partners Deakin University, Good Morning Beautiful films, Amble Games and Neighbours United for Climate Action. And all the Merri-bek residents who have played the game.
The Adaptation Game has grown into a movement, with 17 councils now implementing their own adaptation game.
