The film's marketing extended to gaming through the online ARG centered around the fictional companies Tagruato and Slusho, which were connected to the film's story.
Climate change will significantly impact South Asia through increased poverty, effects on agriculture and food security, reduced water availability, and increased health issues. The proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to address these impacts by focusing on poverty eradication, food security, water and sanitation, energy access, and building climate resilience. However, some argue the goals could more explicitly address natural limits to growth, adaptation, inequality, and governance issues. While integrating climate change across multiple goals is positive, ensuring meaningful commitments and financing remains a challenge.
