CyclePunk

The "Climate Lab Summit: Sustainable Strategy Boardgame" workshop invites you to join us in an engaging boardgame experience focused on sustainable planning and strategies. Throughout the game, you will tackle the challenges of balancing development with climate mitigation, while addressing the needs for climate adaptation and resilience. Cooperation and negotiation with other players will be key to collectively avoiding a global climate crisis.

After the game, we will come together for a discussion to share your strategies, challenges, and reflections on how climate change impacts our future. We hope this workshop not only brings you enjoyment but also inspires deeper awareness and meaningful actions to address real-world climate issues. Join CyclePunk's workshop as we dive into these challenges and explore pathways to sustainable urban development!

HealingParks

The “HealingParks • Urban Park Resilience Tour” aims to boost awareness of people about the potential of urban parks as a nature-based solution to enhancing climate adaptation and resilience in communities. Through this guided tour, participants will assess the park through Planning & Design, Biodiversity, and User Experience perspectives. Through engaging discussions and hands-on activities, participants can also explore how these urban green spaces can be designed and maintained to mitigate climate effects and adapt to changing environmental conditions.

This hands-on workshop invites participants to explore sustainability through creativity by transforming donated eco-leather—originally worn or no longer usable—into stylish, meaningful accessories such as bracelets, key holders, and small personal items. Guided through design and making, participants will discover how upcycling can reframe waste as a valuable resource. More than a craft session, the workshop connects art, innovation, and environmental awareness, encouraging youth to reflect on consumption and the impact of creative choices. Participants will leave not only with a one-of-a-kind handmade piece but also with a fresh perspective on how creativity can contribute to a more sustainable future.

This workshop offers a hands-on journey into the world of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS), blending scientific discovery with creative play. Moving beyond abstract theories, it shows how nature quietly connects to our daily lives through trees, coastlines and wetlands, while also inspiring creativity through play to nurture climate resilience in the next generation. In Hong Kong, where storms intensify and resilience is vital, nature is both protector and educator, safeguarding and inspiring our homes, health, and daily lives.

Through two interactive “Nature-to-Inspire Circles” (20 min each), participants experience nature’s "superpowers" and shift from learners to creators.
In Circle A – Nature Defends Storms (Experimental Lab), participants discover how mangroves work like a living sponge and storm shield, offering our coastlines more flexible protection than any hard walls.
In Circle B – The Play-Based Future (Design & Pitch), participants explore new approaches to environmental education through AR-powered biodiversity storybooks and nature-themed board games, experiencing firsthand how play and storytelling spark creativity and awaken heartfelt empathy for the planet.

This workshop turns ideas into lived experience. Participants will gain a fresh perspective on nature’s value, realizing that protecting nature is not only about the environment, but also about shielding our coastlines, protecting homes, and strengthening community resilience, while equipping youth with creative tools to advance nature conservation and climate resilience.
