The article explores the application of wargaming techniques to analyze potential geopolitical and strategic disruptions caused by climate change. The RAND Institute advocates for a move beyond conventional scenario planning, which often relies on linear projections, to a more dynamic and interactive approach. By incorporating wargaming, policymakers and researchers can delve deeper into the complex interplay of environmental shifts, political tensions, and economic pressures, gaining a more nuanced understanding of potential tipping points, cascading effects, and unforeseen consequences.
