Acting like world leaders in deciding how to address climate change, Bromfield students and community members worked together in teams to explore dozens of policies that impact climate change. They selected some, and used the simulator to understand the worldwide impact their decisions likely make.
Led by an MIT meteorologist and using the En-ROADS Climate Simulator, users learn how to address climate change worldwide. The simulator allows users 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. This ground breaking software was developed by MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative and Ventana Systems in Harvard!
