Simulating the Future: Exploring Climate Risk & Opportunities with En-ROADS
What could future pathways of climate policy and large-scale climate action look like on a global scale? What transition risks and opportunities could such policies and actions present to various sectors and industries? How much future warming could such interventions prevent and what physical climate risks and opportunities still remain?
Join us for this highly interactive session that will explore climate risk and opportunity using the En-ROADS climate solutions simulator—a free, fast, online, system dynamics model co-developed by Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan. En-ROADS gives users the opportunity to test out climate change solutions, build future scenarios, and explore the world they've created. To-date, over 490,000 people in 185 countries have experienced this interactive simulation, including nearly 25,000 leaders in government, business, and civil society through the MIT Climate Pathways Project—a collaborative effort of the MIT Climate Policy Center, MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, and the non-profit Climate Interactive.
