Janet Chikofsky

An Interactive Tool for Exploring Climate Change Solutions

Janet Chikofsky, Climate and Energy Program Coordinator, Climate Interactive

What’s needed to tackle climate change? Planting trees? Taxing coal? Capturing carbon and storing it underground? You can try it out for yourself with the En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator! Created by Climate Interactive in partnership with MIT, this free global policy simulation tool enables you to explore the impact of climate actions and design a path to limit future warming. Join Janet Chikofsky as we learn about cross-sector climate solutions, explore fascinating model dynamics, and strive to limit future warming to below two degrees Celsius. Gain insights into the climate and energy system and find out how to use this tool in workshops, games and conversations.
