About this site

Green Game Development (GGD) is a dedicated blog focused on promoting sustainable practices in game development. As climate change becomes one of the most pressing challenges of our time, the gaming industry - an industry of immense creative power and technological innovation - has a vital role to play in shaping a more sustainable future.

This blog was created to serve as a hub both for gamers and for developers, designers, and studios who want to minimize their environmental impact while continuing to push the boundaries of interactive storytelling and design. From energy-efficient development workflows to climate-conscious narratives and carbon-neutral publishing, GGD explores actionable solutions and emerging ideas that are both practical and inspiring.

We are proudly connected to the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) through the Climate Special Interest Group (Climate SIG) - a global community of game developers united by the mission to address climate change through game development practices, education, and advocacy. This connection allows GGD to contribute to and amplify the ongoing dialogue within the industry, informed by research, collaboration, and shared values.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore sustainable design or are looking for deeper strategies to integrate climate awareness into your work, GGD offers insights, tools, and real-world examples to support your journey.

Together, we can build games that not only entertain—but also educate, inspire, and make a difference.
