Gamers feel strongly about climate change, according to Unity report

Unity released a new report today with data about gamers’ thoughts on climate change. According to its findings, gamers care deeply about climate change and are interested in doing something about it. They appear to be especially interested in how the games industry can affect climate change. That said, they aren’t always actively doing something about it.

Unity produced the report, called “What do gamers think about global warming?” in partnership with Yale’s Program on Climate Change Communication. Its drew its findings from interviews with 2,034 adults in the U.S. who play video games. The researchers asked the gamers for their thoughts and feelings on climate change, as well as whether the games industry was doing its part to mitigate the problem. The authors compared the study’s findings with those of Yale’s “Climate Change in the American Mind” report, published earlier this year.
