The games industry has a sustainability problem. From the rare earth metals used in electronic components to the vast array of plastic merchandise produced by gaming brands, or the thousands of people who fly to international events each month, the world\u2019s biggest entertainment industry is having a widespread negative impact on the world around us. <\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s not news to many of us, and there\u2019s so much negative news about the environment at the moment that it\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed, that there\u2019s nothing we can do to change for the better. But we can. Simple, sustainable working and production methods can vastly reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impact of everything associated with games and gaming – but we need to act now and we need to act decisively.
<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

So what do we need to do, and how do we apply that to our own businesses and personal habits? And how can games make a positive impact on other social issues such as diversity and mental health? We joined Matchmade CEO Jiri Kupiainen on his mission to find out – spending 10 weeks travelling around Europe (by train, of course) to visit various events, studios and spokespeople to to talk about current opportunities and obstacles as well as their view on the role of the games industry on climate change<\/p>


Here at GamesForest, we\u2019re obviously primarily concerned with supporting the games industry to reduce their ecological footprint, but the series also gives a detailed perspective on current developments within the European games industry. Read on to find out more about the topics covered in each episode.<\/span><\/p>
