Abstract
This article explores the convergence of innovation, internationalization, and digital transformation in sustainability education, with a focus on gamified learning as a catalyst for climate action. As universities worldwide respond to the urgency of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), pedagogical models are evolving to engage students not only intellectually but experientially. Gamification—through digital platforms, simulations, and collaborative challenges—offers a dynamic approach to climate literacy, empowering learners to co-create solutions and internalize sustainability values. The study presents a case analysis of the International Summer School-2025 at Kazakh National Agrarian Research University (KazNARU), where international students from diverse backgrounds engaged in a gamified curriculum to develop five eco-tourism startup projects. This initiative exemplifies how digital tools and international collaboration can foster entrepreneurial thinking, cross-cultural dialogue, and real-world impact within sustainability education.
