Process phases

Ideas and projects will be developed at Climathon Zurich 2022. The teams upload their projects to Decidim by November 6th 2022.

The climate challenge set by the city of Zurich can also be tackled by further persons and teams outside of Climathon. By participating to the participation process, you will have the opportunity to receive feedback from city experts, gain visibility and potentially have the opportunity to present your project to a city committee or at one of our upcoming Klimaforum gathering.

City experts as well as Stakeholders are invited to give feedback and share their inputs to the teams and projects in order to support the further developement of the projects.

This phase enables the teams to incorporate the feedback from experts and to revise the project proposals. To do so, teams can directly adapt their proposals in the Klimaforum Online platform.

In this final phase, the 8-12 projects with most interactions are selected to present to city of Zurich committee. It will likely take place during the annual Klimaforum Event at the end of March 2023.

Gamification towards Net Zero

How might we use games and gamification to incentivize citizens to join us on our net zero journey?

About this process

The race towards net-zero 2040 has begun and the societal change needed is enormous! Games provide a strong platform for both enlightenment and entertainment. 

Challenge description:

Gamification is the use of gaming elements within non-gaming contexts to influence real-world behavior. Take features of games that keep players’ attention and apply them to real-world situations that otherwise might seem mundane or boring to increase engagement. These gaming building blocks are used to engage users, solve problems and drive specific behaviors.  


Example at the City of Zurich:  

An example would be the Foxtrail. People move through the city. Or the crime games that last a whole afternoon, take place in the city and entire SMEs participate. 


Other examples of gamification in the world:



Goal: Use the “TOOL” Gamification to activate the people to reach net-zero 2040!
