About Climate Dice
Climate Dice is a storytelling dice game with a climate change theme.
It’s a fun way to help children learn about climate change and environmental issues, and to empower them to (RE)imagine an alternative better future. A future where they can transform the climate crisis threats into new possibilities and opportunities for change.
It’s a great tool to talk to children about climate change safely, to support eco- anxiety and enable them to discuss their fears and hopes for a better world.
With every set of Climate Dice you buy online, we will send one set of dice to you, and another set to a school in a remote area of the world. We estimate this will reach hundreds of children and empower them to dream and re-imagine an alternative better future. A future they own and live, in peace and harmony with everyone on this planet.

What People Say About Climate Dice
The dice are fantastic for discussion and bringing out the children's knowledge of what they know about climate change and how they can act. It has brought up some good discussions with children backing up their ideas and them going further to research what they could be doing to reduce their carbon footprint in school and at home. For Example transport and eating less meat, reducing waste in school using less paper. It also encourages children to think more about what they could be doing at school and in their community to take action. The discussion about the dice have then brought plenty of discussions at home with their families about how they can use the 10Rs to reduce, reuse their waste before recycling, using their food left overs for example.

“Climate Dice is a wonderful tool to open up your imagination. It gives you limitless possibilities to create new ideas, thoughts and actions that will have positive impact towards environment and social issues. We, at SDG Monitor, believe that anyone, be it a company or an individual, can contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Climate Dice brings the SDGs alive through game and play and introduces the global goals to children in a fun and positive manner. What a great way to learn about our planet and each other! “

“We are gambling on our #climate future – and all of life depends on the outcome. But we don’t need to take that chance. Instead, we can stack the odds in our favour, starting with #education on climate. I was recently introduced to the Climate Dice and like all the best ideas and inventions, it is simple and powerful. #Climatechange is no #game, but the #dice is a creative, fun way to encourage children and adults – in our #schools, #universities and #workplaces – to talk about climate problems and #solutions as a first step towards taking #action. Let’s get rolling.”

“To create a future where we not only survive, but thrive, we must first envision what this future looks like. Climate Dice is a delightfully simple yet incredibly sophisticated tool that helps children of all ages find the language to express their thoughts, emotions, hopes and dreams about our climate reality - the future they want - and how to get there. Every school and household should have a set!”

For every set of dice you buy online we donate a set to a school in remote areas of Global South.
Our vision is to empower every child on this planet so they can (RE)imagine a better future.
Here is an example of how they have been used.
