Can you negotiate a strategy for limiting global heating to 1.5 DegC?

Using the C-Roads and En-Roads climate simulation models we run role-play events in which participants are divided into groups representing government, business and civil society with the task of negotiating and agreeing a strategy for reducing emissions of green house gas to ensure that global heating stays well below 2 DegC or even as low as 1.5 DegC.

Find out more here: Climate Interactive, Climate Simulation Game.

In these events, we will introduce you to the simulator, facilitate rounds of discussion and subsequent negotiation between different stakeholders, reflect upon and discuss the outcomes and issues that arise.

We have trained facilitators who will guide you through these climate simulations in an stimulating and informative way. Our lead faciliator, Dr. David Faraday, is a registered Climate Ambassador.

All workshop are free of charge to the general public, but we would welcome any donations to help meet our running costs.


Book a Climate Negotiation Workshop for your Group / Business

We run Climate Action Negotiation Workshops for community groups and businesses. These workshops can accommodate between 18 and 50 participants, they are interactive and provide an ideal opportunity for people to engage in the debate about how to tackle climate change. E-mail us for more details (See contact e-mail at the bottom of this page).
