On this week's episode of Sky News ClimateCast we dive into the world of gaming to explore if a new wave of video games that reward players for making eco-friendly decisions could translate into making greener choices in reality.
Hosts Anna Jones and Katerina Vittozzi speak to UsTwo, the creator of a video game with an eco-friendly mission to find out how green nudging works. Plus Sander Van Der Linden, a psychologist from the University of Cambridge, explains what impact gaming can actually have on behaviour.
