The stories of Amirul, Abu Khair, and Ajaj Khan reveal that climate change is not just a distant threat, but a daily struggle for health, housing, and dignity. While playing the RPG Survive the Century, I chose to prioritize community-led adaptation and green infrastructure over short-term industrial profits because the testimonials proved that vulnerable families are most affected by the lack of basic drainage and clean water (Abu Khair Narrative, p.3). These decisions were driven by the urgent need to advance SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), highlighting that protecting coastal and urban communities requires integrated policies that provide both environmental safety and economic security (World Bank, 2024).
