Climate Solutions Workshop (Online) - January 25th, 2022
WHAT IS AN EnROADS Climate Solutions WORKSHOP?
- This online workshop allows participants to identify a suite of solutions that keep global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees C, and preferable not more than 1.5 degrees C, above pre-industrial levels by the year 2100. These could range from adjusting energy efficiency, carbon pricing, fossil fuel taxes, reducing deforestation, and carbon dioxide removal among many others. The solutions are tested in the En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator (Energy – Rapid Overview and Decision Support model, http://enroads.org) where their cumulative impact on global air temperature, sea level rise, ocean acidification, and air quality among other can be seen. The En-Roads simulator is a transparent, freely-available policy simulation model that provides policymakers, educators, businesses, the media, and the public with the ability to explore, for themselves, the likely consequences of energy, economic growth, land use, and other policies and uncertainties, with the goal of improving their understanding.
What impact does planting trees have on the climate challenge? What impact do Electric Vehicles have? This workshop uses the EnROADS online tool created by Climate Interactive to help you design a solution to the climate challenge.
Climate Interactive is a spinoff of MIT that creates accessible, scientifically rigorous tools that help people see connections, play out scenarios, and see what works to address climate challenges we face
Tamara Shapiro Ledley, PhD Metrology, MIT; is a STEM education consultant, Earth and climate scientist, an En-ROADS Climate Ambassador, and Adjunct Professor at Bentley University.
This workshop is sponsored by Twin Cities Rotary EcoClub, Maple Grove Rotary Club, Eden Prairie ESRAG, District 5950 Environment Action Team, and a Group of MIT Alumni
