Energy & Climate Game Afternoon at the Brooklyn Public Library

Join us to collectively solve climate change in the most fun way possible.

March game afternoon

Come join us for a fun-filled afternoon gaming out the future of New York City at the Brooklyn Public Library, Central Branch! We will play Energetic and in the process, learn what it takes to build renewable energy, and show you ways to plug into the climate fight in NYC!

Energetic is the cooperative board game that's used to teach energy literacy at universities around the world, including Carnegie Mellon, Fordham, Vanderbilt, and CUNY.

Energetic has been featured in the New York Times, on NY1, and in Skylight.

You play from 2026 to 2040, a turn each year. Your team must work together to balance your budget, your grid stability, and your public opinion to keep the lights on, win elections, overcome climate impacts, and build 16 gigawatts of clean power for the city. Then you will have replaced all fossil fuels, provided there is a matching reduction in demand from behavior change and efficiency.

This event is hosted by 350Brooklyn, Brooklyn Public Library, and City Atlas.
