How can a game accelerate the climate journey from awareness to action? Action to Zero transforms climate planning from a technical process into a participatory, regenerative experience—blending systems thinking, collaboration, and creativity.

Developed by Planning Communities, a Certified B Corporation, the game equips B-Corps, nonprofits, organizations, municipalities, and other changemakers with an interactive pathway to explore collective actions needed to reach net-zero emissions and build resilient and regenerative organizations and communities.

In this highly interactive session, participants will play a condensed version of the game, forming teams that navigate climate solutions across key climate action areas that align with the B Lab’s New Standards. Through gameplay and reflection, attendees experience how gamification can break down silos, center frontline voices, and inspire tangible commitments toward climate action and justice.
The workshop closes with a collaborative debrief linking individual “ripple actions” to organizational “waves of change,” offering a Climate Action Playbook to bring back to their own B Corps, networks, and communities.

This session embodies the spirit of Ripples to Waves — proving that playful, participatory design can drive deep systems change when grounded in purpose, equity, and collective accountability.
