Presentation of the project

The MIT Climate Pathways Project leverages interactive simulations to advance the adoption of evidence-based climate policy among leaders in both the public and private sectors. These interactive simulations include the En-ROADS and C-ROADS climate solution simulators, co-developed with Climate Interactive.
 
Research on general audiences has found that the MIT Climate Pathways simulations increased participants' knowledge of climate science, the need for urgent action, and their desire to do more. Having engaged more than 15,000 leaders, including members of the U.S. Congress, governors and mayors, their counterparts around the world, and leaders in business, NGO, and academia landscapes, the simulators are increasingly being used by the media to ground-truth pledges and proposals in the best available science.
 

Presentation of the organization

The project is supported by a collaboration between the MIT Climate Policy Center, which serves as a trusted, non-partisan resource for policymakers seeking to advance evidence-based climate policy, the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, which empowers leaders everywhere to take action so humans and nature can thrive, and Climate Interactive, which creates and shares tools that drive effective and equitable climate action.
