"In eight years' time, I'd like to see the video games industry being the greenest industry in the world and that the players that play games are coming to it, not just to escape, but to give back as well" - Sam Barratt, United Nations

In the first episode of the Playable Futures Podcast, games journalist Will Freeman – a regular GamesIndustry.biz contributor – speaks to the UN Environment's chief of education for youth and advocacy Sam Barratt about the United Nations’ Playing for the Planet Alliance, and why the UN sees games as part of its mission’s future.
