The Institute of Environment at UST hosted a colourful Carbon Trading Game on 20th April 2011 in the university's atrium to raise awareness in their community about the value of carbon during their Environment Week.
The Institute for the Environment's Project Manager, Calvin Kwan played the leader of the UN in a fast moving game of diplomatic wrangling and intense competition. A major diplomatic crisis when Cambodia was accused of planting stolen valuables from the World Bank on American soil, thus creating turmoil and a lot of headaches for the UN. Fortuntely, professors Emily Nason and John Hulpke of the university's business school ran a tight ship at the World Bank, ensuring that the economic playing field was about as level as it can ever get for the participating countries.

It is a thrilling, exciting, interactive game for students to take part in 2 different models - 'current economic model' and 'carbon trading model' ! I am very excited to have 6 teams of 30 students from all different societies which are leading student groups in green and environmental friendly to experience with Institute for the Environment and Teng Hoi Conversation Organisation, they are student basket ball team, indian team, green ambassador program, live green LLC, environment students' society, house IV Vista! From registration, creating their team, drawing lots for their team, cutting shapes to banking the shapes, participants have been very focused! I am thankful to all the working team for their kind support, participants and students, and special thanks to Calvin for leading the game and being great UN moderator, George for organising the game and making it happen, Prof John Hulpke and Prof Emily Nason for being great world bank representatives for us!
