Charity 2030 SDGs Game as Part of the COP30 Side Programme at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration
On 20 November 2025, within the framework of the Faculty’s annual scientific and practice-oriented conference “Transforming Futures: Sustainability, Innovation and Governance,” a charity simulation of the 2030 SDGs Game was held—one of the world’s most widely used educational formats in the field of sustainable development.
The event took place as part of the international initiatives accompanying the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP30 in Belém, Brazil. Participants had the opportunity to share their reflections and key takeaways on the Global Wall of Kizukis, a global digital platform collecting messages from participants in different countries.
The session brought together students from the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, along with representatives of the business sector. Through working on a series of scenarios, they explored real-life challenges related to resource management, sustainable policies, corporate strategies, and the interaction between the economy, society, and the natural environment.
The game is an experiential learning model that places participants in a dynamic environment of interconnected economic, social, and environmental challenges. Through decision-making and collaboration, players build a deeper understanding of the systemic interdependencies shaping the world. To date, the 2030 SDGs Game has been played by more than 350,000 participants worldwide, including in public institutions, corporations, and universities.
By hosting this initiative, the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration joined the global dialogue on sustainability, contributing to discussions on future climate and social policies.
The simulation served a charitable purpose—all proceeds will support the creation and maintenance of the G80 interactive installation, dedicated to sustainable development and located in the Faculty building. The installation will serve as a permanent educational and visual space for raising awareness of the Global Goals and climate change and will be used in both teaching and extracurricular activities focused on building scenarios for a sustainable future.
