Climate Action Party: From En-ROADS to ACTION
Register at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/627789534397
Find out what a leading climate simulator says we should be doing about climate change, then take action!
What does one of the most respected and widely-used climate simulators tell us about the kind of action needed to stop global warming? And once we know, will we actually take that action?
Join Citizens Climate Lobby and Climate Action Now on Thursday, May 31 to get the answer to the first question and then give your answer to the second question! Featured Guest Ellie Johnston is an expert in the use of the En-ROADS simulator. Ellie will use En-ROADS to explore the impact that dozens of policies—such as electrifying transport, pricing carbon, and improving agricultural practices—have on hundreds of factors like energy prices, temperature, air quality, and sea level rise.
We will then take out our phones to take precisely those actions that are recommended by En-ROADS.
About En-ROADS
Developed by Climate Interactive, the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, and Ventana Systems, En-ROADS is a system dynamics model carefully grounded in the best available science and has been calibrated against a wide range of existing integrated assessment, climate, and energy models. En-ROADS runs on an ordinary laptop in a fraction of a second, is freely available online, offers an intuitive user-friendly interface, and is available in over a dozen languages
