What is this?

Game B is an approach to the world which seeks to assess and address current challenges in a way that emphasizes both ecological sustainability and long-term human flourishing. It entails looking at world problems systemically with a long-term perspective in mind, considering multiple outcomes and facets of the issue, and using strategies that strengthen interconnections between parties with different goals and strategies. This may involve collaborative governance, collective action, and utilizing both existing and emerging technologies to ensure fairness and accountability. Game B is future-oriented, aiming to create societies and systems that are resilient, self-sustaining and largely independent over time.
