By Drew Jones, Climate Interactive Co-Director 1. Grounded hope. For climate action success, we need a scientifically based narrative of what to do. En-ROADS helps anyone (not just modelers) create such a narrative. 2. Policy-makers are using it. Jonathan Pershing of the U.S. Department of Energy has asked for specific features and scenarios. 3. A complement to existing scientific models. Prof. John […]
The New C-ROADS Simulation Has Amazing Climate Analysis Capabilities
Check out this short video to view the new features of C-ROADS. The top five improvements: 1. Choose from 14 different reference scenarios, pulled from EMF and SRES 2. Create emissions scenarios by changing Carbon intensity 3. Land use emissions are disaggregated by country (thanks to primary research funded by Heinz Center and TCG) 4. […]
C-ROADS Version 2.0 — Thinking about drivers of emissions scenarios post 2020
A new simulation from the C-ROADS team is coming! To fully address climate change, we’ll need to look at strategies, policies, and investments over the next decade that will affect greenhouse gas emissions for much longer into the future. (One big reason — fifteen times the needed Carbon abatement will happen post 2020!) We’re working […]
Climate Wire Covers “Lightning-Quick” C-ROADS Simulation
Lauren Morello, reporter for Climate Wire, covered C-ROADS this morning! SCIENCE: Lawmakers to test new, lightning-quick climate model (Monday, March 16, 2009) Lauren Morello, E&E reporter In the intense atmosphere of international climate negotiations, it can be hard to keep track of countries’ shifting positions on greenhouse gas reductions, let alone what they will add […]
Two Foundations Invest In Climate Interactive
We’re thrilled to announce that Zennström Philanthropies and the Morgan Family Foundation have both recently invested in Sustainability Institute’s work on Climate Interactive and its intention to use accessible simulations to help stabilize the climate. Allison Robertshaw, program officer at Zennström wrote, “Zennström Philanthropies have been impressed by the work of the Sustainability Institute on their C-ROADS simulation. With […]
