Climate Action Simulation with En-ROADS
Join us for a rigorous, immersive experience at the Climate Action Simulation role-play exercise, designed for professionals committed to addressing the urgent challenges of preventing and adapting to climate change. This session is powered by the renowned En-ROADS climate simulator developed by Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan—a tool that was integral to the negotiations of the Paris Agreement.Participants will explore impactful measures, including carbon taxes, energy subsidies and land use changes, all aimed at mitigating the effects of the climate crisis. Additionally, the role-play exercise will delve into the implications of climate adaptation strategies, providing a comprehensive view of potential solutions.
Guided by experts from Climate Interactive, this exercise transforms theoretical knowledge into a compelling, actionable exploration of climate solutions using En-ROADS. The exercise has been played by thousands of public servants, climate professionals, policy-makers and business-people in 120 countries.
As noted by John Kerry, “En-ROADS is quite simply a climate crisis game-changer for policymakers and people across the country.” This session promises to be an essential convergence of insight and action for all attendees.
