NRMA Insurance has today announced “Climate Warriors”, a groundbreaking new Minecraft world, designed to help educate and engage the next generation of young Australians in understanding the importance of preparedness against the increasing risk of natural disasters. You can watch the trailer here.

Set in a custom-built landscape inspired by Australian coastal towns, “Climate Warriors” uses NRMA Insurance real-world data and climate change research, which predicts that extreme weather events are likely to become more frequent and damaging in the future as the average global mean temperature is expected to rise by another 1°C as soon as 2035.

The free educational and interactive game is aimed at students aged between seven and 12. “Climate Warriors” helps explain how being prepared can further protect wildlife, homes and livelihoods against natural disasters such as bushfires.“Climate Warriors” is entirely free and can be accessed by anyone globally via Minecraft Marketplace or Education Edition. It will become available in Australia next week, on Wednesday 21st April.
