Working with the En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator, create a scenario that can mitigate global warming to the internationally agreed target of below 2°C by 2100.
Access En-ROADS at https://en-roads.climateinteractive.org/. Review the En-ROADS-Guide-to-Control-Panel-v21.pdf (attached) and watch the introductory video to En-ROADS.
Develop a scenario. Use En-ROADS to develop your vision of limiting global warming to less than 2°C (3.6°F). Save your scenario link: Click on "Share Your Scenario" in the upper right-hand corner of En-ROADS, then choose "Copy Scenario Link." Make sure you post an image of your final scenario.
Answer the questions. After developing your preferred scenario, write a concise response to the questions below.
Questions
Your Plan: What are the top 3-5 most important policies in your strategy? (For example, the most important sliders that you moved). Paste your scenario link and a screenshot of your final En-ROADS dashboard.
Political Feasibility: To implement your proposals, what actions and priorities are needed over the next two years in businesses, civil society, government, and the public?
Winners/ Losers: Who would be the biggest winners and losers globally in your proposed future? Create a table with two columns for winners and losers.
Surprises: What surprised you about the behavior of the energy and climate system as captured in En-ROADS? For example, what actions had a bigger or smaller effect than you thought?
Hope: What trends in the world give you hope that your proposals are possible?
Personal Action: What can you personally do to help create the necessary changes?
