inSIGHT: A participatory game for enhancing disaster risk governance

This participatory game guide introduces "InSIGHT"—a tool developed to capture community-held knowledge for disaster resilience and sustaining heritage. This game offers its users the opportunity to build a common understanding of how the cultural and natural heritage of a place contributes to capacities for disaster risk reduction and sustainable development.

Playing inSIGHT will enable local governments, organizations and individuals, to promote the Sustainable Development Goal 13 on Climate Action, by recognizing the traditional knowledge and practices of a community that contribute to the sustainable management of natural resources in a given context. Such practices and knowledge could help mitigate and adapt to the risks induced by global climate change. Additionally, this game promotes a better understanding of the disaster risk, which in turn, helps to implement the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Intended for a wide range of institutions and individuals interested in developing community-centred disaster risk reduction initiatives, this open-ended game offers an empowering social experience.
