    An explorative analysis of gameplay data based on a serious game of climate adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand
    (Elsevier B.V., 2025-08-27) Yang W; Harrison S; Blackett P; Allison A
    Serious games play a crucial role in educating and engaging the public on environmental management issues, such as climate change. These games also generate valuable data that can be used in understanding players' climate change decisions. However, there is a notable gap in the literature on serious game analytics to address the significance of scrutinising the usefulness of utilising gameplay data to explore player behaviours. This paper explores this gap through descriptive and quantitative analysis of gameplay data from ‘The Township Flooding Challenge’ in Aotearoa New Zealand to obtain data insights and data gaps in understanding players' behaviours and decisions on climate change adaptation. The findings suggest that gameplay data can offer insights into players' decisions on climate change adaptations amid uncertainty, but also highlights data gaps such as unclear definitions and incomplete data. Leveraging gameplay data can aid in data collection, decision-making modelling, and improving serious game design.

    Economic indicator system for adaptive monitoring of compound climate change risks
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024-07-26) Qu Z; Yang W; Allison A; Blackett P
    Climate change adaptation requires proactive development of adaptive planning strategies. To implement such strategies, it is crucial to identify indicators that can monitor and signal approaching adaptation thresholds. While existing research has focused on physical and hazard-based indicators, addressing social and economic indicators is essential for informed decision-making. This research aims to fill this gap by compiling 298 economic indicators across six categories: fiscal factors for central, regional, and local governments; financial system indicators; indicators for industries, businesses, and public organisations; and indicators for identifying socially vulnerable populations due to climate change. Derived from previous studies and the national climate change risk assessment framework, these indicators aim to provide policymakers at all levels and communities with a ready-to-use toolbox for monitoring climate change economic risks. Additionally, the research identifies measurable indicators as well as those that cannot currently be measured but could potentially be quantified. Future work involves further analysis and mapping of these indicators to form a cohesive set warning of the need for adaptation measures, aiming to equip decision-makers with tools to address the economic impacts of climate change.
