Playing for the Planet Empowering the games industry by Playing for the Planet

About Playing for the Planet

The Playing For The Planet Alliance was launched during the Climate Summit at UN Headquarters in New York. In total, the members of the Alliance have the ability to reach more than 1 billion video game players. In joining the Alliance, members have made commitments ranging from integrating green activations in games, reducing their emissions and supporting the global environmental agenda through initiatives ranging from planting millions of trees to reducing plastic in their products.

 The Playing for the Planet Alliance unveiled its Annual Impact report which showcases some of the achievements of this collaboration between some 32 gaming companies in 2021.The report, which serves as an accountability mechanism for current Alliance members, showed that 7 new gaming studios and 7 trade bodies joined the initiative, 60% of the members have committed to either be net zero or carbon negative by 2030 and over 1 million trees were planted. 

In addition, the Green Game Jam in 2021 also raised $800,000 for environmental causes and reached some 130 million players on ocean and forest issues in support of UNREDD and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.

The report also outlines the direction the Alliance plans to take in 2022. This includes a new White Paper that  will outline guidance for the industry on how to reduce its emissions, with over 36 studios already signing up to join the Green Game Jam which will focus on food, forests and the future for 2022.
