The Challenge

The RISE Simulation places participants in a high-stakes global scenario where teams must work together to rebuild a world affected by nuclear winter.

As temperatures fall, oxygen levels decline and critical systems collapse, only a few surviving nations remain with the resources to rebuild civilisation. Teams will take on leadership roles and collaborate to determine the future of humanity.

YOUR MISSION

Allocate and manage limited supplies of food, water and oxygen to sustain survival.

Rebuild essential infrastructure needed for communication, transportation and stability.

Develop technologies that help humanity adapt to the harsh post-disaster environment.

Collaborate with other nations to share knowledge, pool resources and achieve global recovery.

You are encouraged to review the simulation briefing to better understand the scenario, objectives and leadership roles before the GDP Launch.
