Le jeu Future Guessr créé en partenariat avec Réseau Action Climat France permet d’explorer une planète Terre marquée par le changement climatique en 2100. Voici par exemple le château de Chenonceau asséché ou encore Miami et Shanghaï inondés dans un monde à +2,7°C. Pour chaque réponse donnée, FutureGuessr nous explique aussi quelles seraient les conséquences de notre inaction climatique. Prenez le Grand Canyon aux États-Unis par exemple : si on laisse le climat se réchauffer, les précipitations reculeront et le manteau neigeux disparaîtra. Le fleuve Colorado s’assèchera peu à peu et des espèces emblématiques comme le condor de Californie ou l’écureuil de Kaibab seront en péril. Le but ici n’est pas tant de jouer que de réaliser quelle planète nous sommes en train de laisser aux futures générations… et à nous-même ! En 2100, il y a de fortes chances que certains représentants de la Gen Z soient encore en vie.
"We do not need more warnings. The dystopian future is already here," UN right chief Volker Turk tells the United Nations Human Rights Council during the opening its the 54th session in Geneva.
