    En-ROADS Climate Workshop Lunch and Learn Webinar

    Tuesday, January 13
    12:00 to 1:00 p.m.

    Join us for the first lunch and learn webinar of 2026 and dive into En-ROADS, a fascinating climate change policy simulation led by Rebecca LeBlanc on behalf of Climate Interactive. This is a free webinar open to all!

    What is En-ROADS?

    En-ROADS is a freely-available online climate change policy simulation model that provides policymakers, educators, businesses, the media, and the public with the ability to explore dynamics in energy supply, land use, transportation, carbon removal, and more. Unearth unique insights on how these driving forces – and the policies which dictate their behavior – affect a variety of climate change impacts, from global temperature change to sea level rise.

    Developed by Climate Interactive and the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, En-ROADS is a system dynamics model that weaves together the best available science and research into how our world reacts to interventions into our energy and land use choices. It factors in important dynamics such as delay times, progress ratios, price sensitivities, historic growth of energy sources, and energy efficiency potential.

    What does the webinar look like?

    The En-ROADS Climate Workshop is an interactive group exercise guided by Rebecca LeBlanc, a trained facilitator, where attendees work together to test solutions for addressing climate change. In the workshop, participants propose climate solutions such as energy efficiency, carbon pricing, fossil fuel taxes, reducing deforestation, and carbon dioxide removal. The facilitator then tests these approaches in the En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator, so participants can see the impact on global temperature and other factors in real-time. The goal of the workshop is to create a scenario that limits global warming to well below 2°C and aims for 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, the international goals formally recognized in the Paris climate agreement.
