Hi, my name is Johannes and I work as a product manager for Sustainable Lifestyle Services at Nokia.

Climate change and fun are something that you don’t expect to see in the same sentence too often, let alone in one and single product. However, Climate Mission, a mobile game published by Nokia, is something wherein these two unusual suspects are married like lovers in the happy end of romantic comedies.

Have you ever guided ants to collect tree needles into their nest? Shot seeds from trees to make more carbon absorbing trees growing? Helped farmers to place layers of stones on their fields to reflect the excessive heat back to space? Grouped together all kinds of recyclable items? And all this in a mobile game? Well, here’s your chance.

Climate Mission offers heaps of fun and lots to learn. Inspired by the writings of Finnish evironmentalist Risto Isomäki, the game features four types of minigames revolving around climate change, each having 20 levels of increasing difficulty.

Climate Mission is available to download from Store for a very special price: free! The game works currently on Nokia N97, N97 mini, 5320, 5530 and X6. The support for 5800 will be added soon, so hang in there, 5800 owners!
