Andrew (Drew) Jones, ED @ClimateInteract + @MITSloanSusty w #EnROADS. Scientific simulations as engagement, not just analysis.

[Rachna Sharma 🇮🇳 @racchnasharma]

Yesterday I attended the global, En-ROADS Climate Workshop by @climateinteract developed by MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative @MIT_Innovation
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.

I thought it was so necessary to get a holistic scientific view of the situation to engage more people in real time simulation. This is a great social impact initiative, seen here is @AndrewPJones passionately involving the world in this climate initiative. Well done Climate Interactive

Member spotlight! The awesome Peter Dugas gave a presentation on En-ROADS at the Center for an Ecology-Based Economy’s recent gathering, 2030 Vision: Resist, Regenerate, Renew. Thanks Peter for your great work!

[Climate Policy Center @MIT_CPC]

Our MIT Climate Pathways Project (w/ @MITSloanSusty + @climateinteract) using interactive simulations to advance evidence-based climate policy has gained 50+ endorsements from a diverse array of leaders! This week hear from CEO of the Russell Family Foundation Kathleen Simpson.

"The future is not yet written. We can shape it."

#ICYMI ED @AndrewPJones took the @TEDxBoston stage to share a powerful message.🌍

Watch to discover how interactive climate modeling can inspire decision-makers to make better decisions for our future.💡 https://t.co/wySMOwuFx9

[Climate Interactive @climateinteract]

The future isn’t written yet—but our choices today will define it. @AndrewPJones’ @TEDx talk is a must-watch for anyone who wants to see how we can turn climate data into action. Watch now👇 https://t.co/wySMOwuFx9

Attended an EnRoads climate simulation workshop and wow how enlightening. Businesses who want to start their climate journey should do this.

🧵THREAD: The Human Cost of Flawed Forecasting Systems

1/3  First-hand account from global expert of what happens when the forecasts are silent. @AndrewPJones

[Chris Mailander @MailanderPod]

3/3 The breakthrough method: Start with your ideal future, then work backwards.

Result for teams struggling to find breakthroughs: "I feel clarity. I feel joy. There is a pathway."

[Chris Mailander @MailanderPod]

2/3 "Research shows that showing people research doesn't work."

Mind-blowing insight from MIT expert: Information doesn't change minds. Experiences do.

See how simulation transforms dialogue:

The 23 days post #HurricaneHelene: Engage the community. Find the missing. Bury the dead. Restore sanitation. Feed the hungry. Shovel the mud.

Next: Build back better. Tackle climate change.

Funeral for #HurricaneHelene flood victim today here in #Asheville. Elsewhere in the cemetery, this newly blown-over tree covers gravestones. May all this suffering fuel our resolve.

On August 13, 2024, I did an #EnROADS simulation during the VII International Forum on Integral Risk Management and the VII GIRD International sponsored by #USAID, organized by Dr. Mirtha Alfonso at Universidad Columbia, Aunción, Paraguay.

"Climate disinformation" is an elitist trap.

Why?

It centers the professional-managerial class in climate action — people who work with information — rather than people who build goods and grow stuff.
