En-ROADS

En-ROADS is a dynamic, user-friendly simulation model designed to assess the impact of different climate policies and solutions on global outcomes. Developed by Climate Interactive in partnership with MIT Sloan, En-ROADS integrates a wide range of data across energy, land use, and climate dynamics to provide real-time feedback on policy decisions and corporate actions.

En-ROADS has a wide range of capabilities and applications. For example, it can be used in policy impact assessment by evaluating the effectiveness of various climate policies in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting global warming. It is also widely used for strategic planning by policymakers, businesses, and NGOs to identify the most impactful actions to achieve climate goals.

En-ROADS also serves as an engagement tool, educating and involving the public in climate discussions through interactive workshops where participants can simulate policy impacts in real time. The tool supports decision-making by clarifying how different policies interact and highlighting potential trade-offs. Businesses use En-ROADS to assess sustainability strategies and align their practices with global climate goals, while organizations leverage it for scenario planning to prepare for a range of climate-related risks. Additionally, it is incorporated into educational curricula to teach students of all ages about climate science, policy, and systems thinking through hands-on learning.

En-ROADS also plays a role in policy debate and negotiation simulations, helping participants grasp the complexities of international climate agreements and the need for collaborative action
