Explore the En-ROADS Simulator ❯

En-ROADS is a global climate simulator that allows users to explore the impact that dozens of policies-such as electrifying transport, pricing carbon, and improving agricultural practices-have on hundreds of factors like energy prices, temperature, air quality, and sea level rise.

Developed by Climate Interactive, the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, and Ventana Systems, En-ROADS is a system dynamics model carefully grounded in the best available science, and has been calibrated against a wide range of existing integrated assessment, climate, and energy models. En-ROADS runs on an ordinary laptop in a fraction of a second, is freely available online, offers an intuitive user-friendly interface, and is available in over a dozen languages.

En-ROADS helps people make connections between things they care about and the possibilities available to help ensure a resilient future. Users can quickly see the long-term effects of the global climate policies and actions they imagine. The goal? To break through the noise and equip elected officials, business leaders, and others with the knowledge they need to implement equitable and high-leverage climate solutions. You can learn more about the science behind the simulator here.

Open the En-ROADS Simulator ❯

En-ROADS can be used individually online, but it is most often used as part of a facilitated group learning experiences: the En-ROADS Climate Workshop, the Climate Action Simulation game, or the En-ROADS Guided Assignment. These interactive events help participants gain key insights from the simulator, adopt new perspectives, and build grounded hope in a fun and engaging format. These experiences can be offered either in-person or via online platforms, and all materials are free.

We encourage you to join our online training to learn more about En-ROADS, its related experiences, and more. Our training covers: climate and energy system dynamics, interdisciplinary climate solutions, advanced facilitation tips, and more.

Anyone can lead En-ROADS events

A wide range of people have led En-ROADS events, including several national government leaders, a president of a major philanthropic foundation, chief sustainability officers, university professors, citizen leaders, and educators the world over. Facilitators from diverse backgrounds bring En-ROADS insights to their community through our interactive group experiences.

Anyone with enough interest can learn how to run an En-ROADS event for their desired audience.

We know that thinking about overshoot can be overwhelming-we're right there with you. First, we should mention that we're not ecological resource- or climate-"doom-and-gloom" people. We're also not over-optimistic, "change-your-lightbulbs-and-we'll-be-OK" types, either. We're realists. Somewhere in the middle.

Individuals have the power to better their homes and communities. The greatest potential for large-scale impact, however, lies with governments and businesses who align their policies and strategies with the reality of our finite planet.

More precisely, immense #PowerOfPossibility can be found in the countless existing solutions that can be implemented at scale. With them, we can make ourselves more resilient and #MoveTheDate of Earth Overshoot Day.

Overshoot occurs when humanity's demand on nature exceeds Earth's biocapacity. In 2023, Earth Overshoot Day falls on August 2nd.

The truth behind the greenwashing

Shell is still committed to exploring for new sources of oil and gas and does not have any plans to reduce the overall amount of oil and gas it produces by 2030, the date by which IPCC scenarios say emissions from oil, gas, and coal will need to have substantially reduced.

Shell mentions "using lower-carbon energy products to reduce GHG emissions", but the company's plans include growing its fossil gas business by 20% in the coming years. Whilst the company believes its oil production peaked in 2019 and will decline slightly by 1-2% per year until 2030, the company wants to grow its fossil gas operations until this occupies over half of Shell's energy business by 2030.

Despite Shell's climate pledges, the Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Company Benchmark finds that the company only meets some of the Benchmark's targets criteria - Shell does not have both an ambition to reach 'net-zero' and net zero-aligned short, medium and long-term GHG reduction targets, which cover all its relevant emissions.

Shell is also scored 'No' for failing to disclose an aim to align its capital allocation (investments) with its targets, let alone with the Paris Agreement goal to limit global temperature rises to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

The Benchmark estimates that over $3.9 billion of Shell's 2019 capital expenditure on 'upstream' fossil fuel extraction and production, and 66% of the company's future capital expenditure, conflict with the International Energy Agency's 'Beyond Two Degrees' scenario. In this scenario, total temperature rise is limited to 1.75°C by 2100. More and quicker emissions reductions would be required to limit temperature rise to the Paris goal of 1.5°C and to avert more climate harms to people and to the environment.

But its ads tell a different story...

(DOER), Founder of the Sylvia Earle Alliance (S.E.A.) / Mission Blue, Chair of the Advisory Council of the Harte Research Institute, inspiration for the ocean in Google Earth, leader of the NGS Sustainable Seas Expeditions, and the subject of the 2014 Netflix film, Mission Blue. She has a B.S. degree from Florida State University, M.S. and PhD. from Duke University, 27 honorary degrees and has authored more than 200 scientific, technical and popular publications including 13 books (most recently Blue Hope in 2014), lectured in more than 90 countries, and appeared in hundreds of radio and television productions.

She has led more than 100 expeditions and logged more than 7,000 hours underwater including leading the first team of women aquanauts during the Tektite Project in 1970, participating in ten saturation dives, most recently in July 2012, and setting a record for solo diving in 1,000 meters depth. Her research concerns marine ecosystems with special reference to exploration, conservation and the development and use of new technologies for access and effective operations in the deep sea and other remote environments.
