Game rules

Budget

Throughout the trip, each team had a budget in Climasto manage.

Each team's goal was to spend as few climas as possible.

Challenges

During the competition, the teams overcame various challenges where they had the opportunity to involve the population in the game and recover some “climas” as a reward for their positive impact.

Awards

The winning team was the one that reached the end with the most sustainable route, i.e. the one that spent the least amount of “climas”.
As a prize, they had the opportunity to travel to Dubai in December 2023 and take part in COP 28, the United Nations Climate Change Conference.

The Teams

TERRA Terra (Earth) is the solid element, composed of rocks, minerals, soil and arable land. It is the physical foundation on which life develops and plays a crucial role in sustaining Earth's ecosystems.

AR Ar (air) is the mixture of gases that make up the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere acts as a protective layer that absorbs much of the solar radiation, regulating the Earth's temperature.

ÁGUA Água (water) is an essential element for all forms of life on Earth. It covers about 71% of our planet's surface, is a habitat for a variety of aquatic species and plays an important role in regulating the global climate.
