Simulation Efforts in Africa Endorsed by the COP 22 Secretariat
We are delighted to announce that our efforts to build African capacity on climate change modeling and decision tools have been endorsed by the COP 22 Secretariat. Back in May, Climate Interactive launched a new partnership with the University of Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P) to expand climate change awareness across Africa. This effort has already […]
Putting Equity at the Center of the Fight to Protect the Climate: Five practical lessons
Fostering effective, inclusive collaboration can be a powerful leverage point for addressing climate change, but it requires a focus on relationships, values, and a bigger picture. Some of the most promising climate solutions have the potential to benefit health, well-being, and social justice while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but there’s a catch. Implementing these solutions […]
Walking the Talk: CI Team Members Experiment With Reducing Their Carbon Footprints
When climate change is your professional field, what does that mean for choices in your personal life? As a staff we at Climate Interactive have been discussing this question lately, inspired by a recent research paper on the relationships between a scientist’s carbon footprint and his or her perceived credibility on climate change. Our team is spread […]
News from World Climate Ambassadors Bindu and Steve
While the World Climate coordination team was busy organizing events in Africa, our volunteers have kept running their own simulations. World Climate would not have had the success it has without the dozens of people around the globe who are using the tools to reach hundreds each month. Below are updates from two of our World Climate Ambassadors on the […]
World Climate Simulation Sparks a Climate Solution Win
World Climate Ambassador, Eduardo Fracassi, and his team are winners of a MIT Climate Colab contest! Here’s their story, which began with the World Climate Simulation: In 2012, Fabian Szulanski, at that time director of ITBA’s System Dynamics Center, and I heard a keynote presentation by Professor Sterman of MIT and Climate Interactive. There Prof. […]
World Climate inspires local action: The story of Kenneth Nana Amoateng of Ghana
Not only did we receive an over-subscription to our two World Climate events in Ghana last month, the simulations have also resulted in almost half a dozen other World Climate simulations being planned across the country starting this month until COP 22 in Marrakech.
