Abstract

This paper presents a learning experience on the economics of climate change based on role play. The aim is to enhance students’ knowledge of climate change and its consequences and their understanding of different countries’ mitigation policies and strategies. Two tests have been designed involving questions related to climate change, which are answered by all student groups participating in the learning experience. To evaluate the effect of the role game in achieving the learning objectives, the role play is performed in only some of the student groups before the second test.
