New En-ROADS Map: Take a closer look at local temperature change

November 6, 2025
We’re thrilled to share a new map in the En-ROADS Simulator, “Temperature Change by Location,” developed with MIT’s Bringing Computation to the Climate Challenge (BC3).
This interactive map displays projected temperature changes in local areas across the century
under different scenarios. Using artificial intelligence tools developed by the BC3 team, En-ROADS
now shows these regional results from more complex climate models, which would otherwise require
days to compute.

With this new map, you can illustrate:
- How projected temperature change is not evenly distributed globally
Why local temperature increase on land is almost always greater than the average global
temperature increase
- How rapid emissions reductions can mitigate local warming
Why adaptation measures will be especially important in areas where local temperature
increases are more pronounced
Join our upcoming webinar on Thursday, December 11, at 7 AM EST or 2 PM EST, where our team will introduce this new map, offer facilitation tips on how to incorporate it into your next event, and answer your questions.
Plus: Improved modeling of electrification ⚡
As part of this latest release, we’ve also improved En-ROADS to more accurately capture how consumers switch to electric heating, vehicles, and equipment as costs change.
You’ll see electrification rates are higher in this version.
As a result, the En-ROADS Baseline Scenario shows greater growth in electricity demand and in electricity sources such as renewables.
Learn more about this improvement in the release notes and electrification explainer.
