Abstract

Natural security refers to all aspects of security related to a reliable, sufficient, affordable and sustainable supply of natural resources, and energy to meet the needs of society by protecting the environment, human health, and living things. Effects derived from climate change are one of the biggest challenges encountered in terms of natural security. Simulation games play a vital role in building a sustainable world. This study investigates the games for topics like natural security, energy security, carbon capture and storage, renewable energy and waste. A review of the literature showed forty-three studies which focused on the objective of the study. Most of the games were used in education and used to transfer knowledge in the field of waste. The paper points out the importance of natural security and the need to develop more games in natural security and its related fields to build a regenerative economy.
