Ready to bring global climate negotiations to life? The World Climate Simulation immerses participants in the roles of national leaders and regional officials, challenging them to negotiate policies that will limit climate change.
Created for students, policymakers, and professionals, this interactive role-playing experience uses the C‑ROADS Simulator to explore the impacts of climate policy in real time.
This high-energy, role-playing game puts participants in the heart of a fictitious United Nations climate summit.
Participants take on the role of a delegate representing a specific nation, regional group, or interest group, negotiating commitments to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
A facilitator, acting as a United Nations leader, guides the experience while using the C‑ROADS Simulator to assess the impact of proposed climate pledges.
The goal? To reach a global agreement that limits warming to well below 2°C while navigating the political and economic complexities of global cooperation.
