ICLEI and Generation.Energy developed the Sustainable Energy Transition Strategy game (SETS) with the aim to bring together local government officials, and other diverse stakeholders, to address the various challenges involved in the energy transition.

Gaming and play are powerful learning tools, and are often used in ‘serious’ settings such as the military, healthcare and policy spaces to train participants, preparing them to be able to tackle difficult situations as they arise, and to improve decision-making by tackling gridlock or siloed approaches.

SETS aims to use the power of play to improve decision-making in the complex and multi-stakeholder process that is the sustainable energy transition.
