Written By Chloe Germaine

The Playing for the Planet Awards celebrate work across the video games sustainability landscape, by focusing attention on green storytelling and emissions reduction as well as recognising the studios and individuals that have demonstrated outstanding leadership and contributions to the field. This year, STRATEGIES researchers have taken part in the judging process, examining entries for Best Green Storytelling and the Trailblazer award.

Trailblazer Award
