THE PLANET IS BEING THREATENED!
The entire world is on the brink of collapse: global warming, social unrest, rising populism, the risk of global conflict, overpopulation, terrorism, cybercrime, new war zones, pollution, shortages! As the leader of up to 30 nations simultaneously, attempt to implement cohesive and effective policies that will collectively guarantee a viable future for the planet. And in another new play mode, "Chaos 2030", experience the world that could exist in the near future if things break down: amid the global chaos, develop solutions to maintain your power and grow your influence... One specific scenario, "Global Warming", based on the goals of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), has the objective of limiting global warming to 1.5° Celsius for 2100, and to reduce CO2 emissions by 45% by the year 2030. As the head of the 30 largest CO2 emitters, initiate a global energetic transition by pursuing policies on infrastructures (dismantling of thermal power industries, constructing power plants with renewable energies…), finance (taxes on petroleum products, carbon tax...), the environment, innovations (CO2 capture, development of electric vehicles…)… and all while avoiding energy shortages and maintaining a balanced budget as well as social stability!
