NRMA Insurance has launched “Climate Warriors”, a groundbreaking new Minecraft world, designed to help educate and engage the next generation of young Australians in understanding the importance of preparedness against the increasing risk of natural disasters, in a new initiative developed by Thinkerbell.
Set in a custom-built landscape inspired by Australian coastal towns, “Climate Warriors” is a free interactive game available on Minecraft Education Edition and Minecraft Marketplace that aims to educate children, aged between seven and 12, on how being prepared can further protect wildlife, homes and livelihoods against natural disasters such as bushfires.

The Sahel is an unforgivingly hot and arid belt stretching across the African continent, from Senegal to Chad. It marks the transitional zone between the Sahara Desert to the north and the humid savannahs to the south. This zone is characterized by its unique rainfall patterns. A long dry season is followed by a short but intense rainy season; certain regions may experience up to 80% of their yearly rainfall between the months of August and September. Populations living in this challenging ecoclimate are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate variability and change.
