How do video games help people understand climate migration?

Video games let people pretend to be people moving because of climate change, like when a storm or drought makes their home not work anymore.

Climate migration is when people have to leave where they live, maybe a town, a country, because the environment gets too harsh. This can happen if the land dries up, the sea rises, or there are too many storms.

Imagine you're playing a game where you start in your favorite house, but one day it gets flooded or burned down. You have to find a new place to live, maybe somewhere else in the same town, or even another country. That's kind of like what happens in climate migration.

In video games, players can see how their choices affect where they end up. They might build shelters, save money for a new home, or go on a journey with friends. This helps them understand why people move, and what it feels like to be in someone else's shoes.

It’s like playing a game where you get to live the story of someone moving because of climate change, instead of just reading about it.
