Wicked games: using games to resolve environmental conflicts

The world is complex, uncertain and many of the problems we face, climate change, poverty, migration, are wicked. Anticipating the impacts of a decision is remarkably difficult, in part because the other players will respond and adapt their strategies. So we stumble through darkness with our hands in front of us hoping not to get hurt. Games are powerful tools to understand how people make decisions, to explore alternative strategies and negotiate agreements. It is much easier to develop a strategy with the chess board and pieces in front of us than with a blindfold.
