Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Disaster Risk Management (DRM), and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) involve a variety of stakeholders with different backgrounds, organizational frameworks, divergent concerns, and sometimes competing agendas. This requires forums where such groups can meet in order to enhance understanding, reconcile different views, and potentially assist each other in meeting their respective goals. One means of establishing such an exchange involves serious games. During the ESPREssO (Enhancing Synergies for disaster Prevention in the European Union) project, three such games, referred to as RAMSETE (Risk Assessment Model Simulation for Emergency Training Exercise), were developed. They were based on table-top, role-playing, scenario-based exercises, and their purpose was for stakeholder information elicitation about policy issues related to DRR, DRM, and CCA.

Participants in the exercises were assigned roles where they interacted and negotiated in order to deal with the presented scenarios. The scenarios were primarily concerned with selecting an optimal set of policies to deal best with the issue in question. The games, while sometimes including an operational element, were meant to examine the motivations behind the decisions made, rather than to test or to train in response protocols. The participants in general found the games to be useful for framing discussions about complex issues, while their problem-solving character was appreciated and enjoyed. Such games allow stakeholders to openly discuss and challenge ideas, policies, and processes in a manner they would not normally do in their daily activities, with other professionals who they would not necessarily be in frequent contact with.

减少灾害风险（DRR），灾害风险管理（DRM）和气候变化适应（CCA）涉及各种利益相关者，这些利益相关者具有不同的背景，组织框架，不同的关注点，有时还有相互竞争的议程。这就需要有这样的团体可以开会的论坛，以增进了解，调和不同的观点，并可能互相帮助实现各自的目标。建立这种交流的一种方式涉及严肃的游戏。在ESPREssO（增强欧盟防灾协同增效）项目期间，开发了三款此类游戏，称为RAMSETE（应急培训演习的风险评估模型模拟）。它们基于桌面，角色扮演，基于场景的练习，其目的是针对与DRR，DRM和CCA相关的政策问题，向涉众提供信息。

演习的参与者被分配了角色，他们进行了互动和谈判，以应对提出的场景。这些方案主要与选择一组最佳策略以最好地处理所讨论的问题有关。这些游戏虽然有时包括操作元素，但其目的是检查做出决策背后的动机，而不是测试或训练响应协议。总体上，与会人员发现，这些游戏对于组建有关复杂问题的讨论非常有用，同时他们的解决问题能力受到赞赏和欣赏。此类游戏使利益相关者可以与他们不一定会经常接触的其他专业人员公开讨论和挑战他们在日常活动中通常不会采取的方式，想法和策略。
