Invest in the Future is based on the FFDM (Flexible Forward-thinking Decision-Making) game originally designed by Antidote Games and developed with the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre for the Africa Climate Change Resilience Alliance (ACCRA) for use with district planners. This game has been redesigned as an experiential learning game for young people in Southeast Asia by the enGAgeMEnt Lab at Emerson College, in collaboration with the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and PLAN International.
