DISTRIBUTE INCOME
Goes to 1st and 2nd place in each energy source. Income can be in any combination of points and money.
ENERGY SUPPLY
Check energy demand for each region
If region needs energy this decade, draw and place a Fossil Fuel Power Plant
Increase CO2 , if plant is placed
Player controlling region pays 1 CEP to bank (from his hand or from a region he controls)
Each region having 1 or more technology cubes pays 1 to the bank
RESOLVE EVENT
If CO2 is 350ppm or higher, a disaster occurs.

* At the end of your turn, gain 1 for one of your scientists overseeing a project a Green Power Plant.
* Building a new power plant gets you 1 step in that energy type
*Conclusion of a SUMMIT gives each participant 1 Expertise in their topic, and the player 1 more for any other
energy type discussed as a topic.
* Taking a scientist back into your hand, because another player installs or constructs a project where
that scientist was, gives you 1 Expertise in the energy type the scientist was on.
WORLD SUMMITS are completed at the end of any player’s turn on which all topics have a scientist on them.

REGION CONTROL is determined whenever a new, green power plant is built. Control goes to:
1) The player controlling the most TYPES of energy sources
2) The player controlling the “highest” listed energy source on the Regional Agenda tile
3) The player with more expertise, total, for the highest listed energy source, then the second highest, etc.,
but only for those power plants you have built there.
4) Otherwise, player to build last power plant has control of region.
REGION CONTROL gets you the following:
1) You can take CEPs from regions you control, anytime you need to spend them.
2) At the end of the game, you receive all CEPs from regions you control (which you’ll sell).
3) YOU are responsible for the CEPs your regions need during the “Energy Supply” step.
VICTORY POINTS AT END OF GAME:
Add all CEPs from the regions you control to any CEPs you have in your possession, and sell them all at current market price.
You receive 1 point for every 2 coins you have, 3 points for the player with the most tech resources in hand; and 3 points
for the player who has scored the most UN goals. All tied players receive the full points.
