Join our July Chapter meeting: The En-ROADS Climate Workshop presented by Climate Leader Will Musser, PhD.
The En-ROADS Climate Workshop helps build support for strategies to address climate change via interactive testing of the cutting-edge simulation model En-ROADS, created by Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan.
|
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 using En-ROADS so that participants can see the impact on global temperature and other factors.

|
Join us to experience what it’s like to create your own climate future using grounded conversations; the resulting experience is hopeful, scientifically-grounded, action-oriented, and eye-opening.

Will Musser, PhD grew up in PA, attended college in VA, completed grad school in MT, his clinical internship in NC, and lived and worked in CO , CT, and CA before settling in his current home of Portland, OR. He was trained as a Climate Reality Leader in 2017 in Denver, and is a member of Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL). He is trained by Climate Interactive to present the En-ROADS Climate Change Solutions Simulator, and is in the process of applying to become a Climate Ambassador for Climate Interactive.

En-ROADS is a freely-available online climate change policy simulation model that provides stakeholders (i.e., policymakers, educators, businesses, the media, and the public) with the ability to explore dynamics in energy supply, land-use, transportation, carbon removal, and more. It offers unique insights on how these driving forces – and the policies which dictate their behavior – affect a variety of climate change impacts, from global temperature change to sea level rise.

Developed by Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, En-ROADS is a system dynamics model that weaves together the best available science and research into how our world reacts to interventions into our energy and land-use choices. It factors in important dynamics such as delay times, progress ratios, price sensitivities, historic growth of energy sources, and energy efficiency potential.
