The Global Environmental Assessment project is a collaborative team study of global environmental assessment as a link between science and policy. The Team is based at Harvard University. The project has two principal objectives. The first is to develop a more realistic and synoptic model of the actual relationships among science, assessment, and management in social responses to global change, and to use that model to understand, critique, and improve current practice of assessment as a bridge between science and policy making. The second is to elucidate a strategy of adaptive assessment and policy for global environmental problems, along with the methods and institutions to implement such a strategy in the real world.

  • January 2021 CGD Monthly Issue #6
    Augmented reality games have gained plenty of momentum the past few years. Pokemon GO is currently the high- est grossing AR video game in the mobile market and that’s not surprising. Popular titles like these take advantage of the player’s constant need for discovery and interactivity. And this new technology takes advantage of it. Minecraft is the pure definition of endless exploration and creativity, so it was bound for Microsoft to produce an Augmented Reality title that makes the user travel around the city and interact with the game, just by using a smartphone. The users can travel around the virtual space and discover different biomes where they can build stuff and let other people see them, all in the real world at life-size. In October of 2019, the game launched with the title “Minecraft Earth”. In January the 5th of 2021, Mojang announced the unfortunate news that the game will be shut down on June 30th of the same year. The studio announced the following in a Q&A: “Due to the current global situation, we have re-al- located our resources to other areas that provide value to the Minecraft community and we have made the difficult decision to sunset Minecraft Earth”. Understandably, many other AR games suffered the same fate due to the strict quarantine rules applied by the governments in populated cities and countries across the world. This resulted in huge drops of player base and to make up for it, developers attempted to make the game playable from home. Mojang decided to keep the game running for a few more months and push a final update on the 5th of June, which will remove all real-money transactions and accelerate player progression, allowing the last of the users to purely enjoy the game with minimal overcomings.
