Climate change affects ecosystems in multiple ways. EcoStax helps illustrate how energy flows through an ecosystem and the ways in which climate change can affect energy sources, creating a domino effect. While playing the EcoStax game, participants simulate changes to one part of an ecosystem which allows them to develop systems-level thinking about the broader impacts of climate change.
